Forgotten roots

What has happened in this country when 2 amazing turnarounds occur in the same week.
Fistly, Labour threaten to charge interest on Social Fund loans given to the very poorest and often needed in an emergency. I watched an agitated Neil Kinnock on TV struggling to contain his anger and disbelief that a Labour, sorry New Labour government was considering it.
Its like a Victorian attack on the "undeserving poor."

Secondly, the war that has begun between the Police and the Conservatives who have seen themselves traditionally as the party of law and order. Clearly there is a bit of a ceasefire at present but when Boris started interferring in the Met, then unrelated, the police arrest and investigate Damien Green Tory MP and the Mail newspaper (long term Tory friend) starts running stories on the business interests of the wife of the senior police officer investigating Mr Green. Potentially, it all starts looking like a steady long term relationship heading to a messy divorce.

Interesting times lie ahead.
