I seem to recall that much the same criticism was made of Labour before the 1997 election.

It’s an inevitable function of a long period spent out of Government. My all-time favourite version of this was Pik Botha’s critique of Nelson Mandela:

“I don’t know why you people make so much fuss of that man. He has no experience of government – he has never even held a press conference [short pause] mind you, that is not entirely his fault…”

Part of the role of the Civil Service is to take care of running things, and let the government get on with the job of having ideas.

Of course, there aren’t a lot of great ideas floating around on either side of the House.

Greenhalgh is a horrible, horrible person though. Currently disfiguring Hammersmith with Soviet style banners from all the lamp posts proclaiming lower council tax and more bobbies on the beat. They may not know much about breweries but they’re very good at propaganda.

Yes, & people said in 1997 what I say now. Given how shite this government is, their superior experience isn’t something to show off about.
