OMG

On track for what exactly? Wasting more of our money on hare brained pc giveaway schemes?

The Lord giveth and Ole Slack Jaw taketh away.

Just heard this as well:

TBH, if the Tories could just promise not to raise taxes it'd be a whole hell of lot better than the alternative. It just gets worse. Every day there's worse news about what four more years would be like

So they are going to walk into their third term easily, but will they get a fourth? The Conservatives may be unelectable but surely in another 4 years they will be the lesser evil?
Teflon Tony should be strung up on Parliament Square for invading Iraq on a tissue of lies. Nobody can ever believe a word he says. Gordon the moron is an unreconstructed tax and spend socialist. Blunkett and Mandleson (twice) have been sacked as unfit for public service. Prescott is a fat thicko who gets Northeners a bad name and Straw is inept to the point of invisibility. Yet still the great British public will vote them back in.
Gordon is especially inept. He has overseen massive inflation in house prices which has caused real social harm and he has raped the pension system to death.

I find that I can't even physically listen to a word he says now.

In the car I have to turn the radio off if there's any tape of him speaking on the news, and at home with the telly it's similarly either change the channel or walk out of the room. It just makes me too angry.

Is anyone else similarly affected?
