The British must be in despair about their political masters.

The British must be in despair about their political masters. The last lot were bad people determined to do anything to keep themselves in power. This new lot has the same intention, and will be pushing ahead with a new voting system that will almost inevitably lead to coalitions doing dirty deals to keep themselves in office regardless of the wishes of the people.

What makes them worse is their cynical incompetence.

The defence review was a shambles that will cost billions. The scrapping of the Ark Royal, Nimrod and the Harrier leaves UK perilously exposed.

And if you thought Cameron had abolished the nanny state, we have the official wowsers telling us to eat less red meat, and Tories – yes, Tories – suggesting that companies should be forced to have a minimum of 25% women directors. To add to the crime sheet, Dave has reneged on most of his civil liberties promises, so Britain remains the Stasi state created by NuLab.

They have failed again in the Middle East. When Libya was going up in smoke what was Cameroon doing? Well, he was on a tour of the Gulf on an arms selling mission to the remaining oligarchs as if nothing had changed and the old villains were going to be in charge for ever. Cleggover was on holiday and said that he hadn’t realised that he was in charge during Dave’s junket.

You couldn’t make it up!

The Foreign Office has f****d-up completely. The Camel Corps at the FO was caught with thumb in bum and mind in neutral. Time was when the FO recruited the brightest and best via a daunting competitive examination. That was before the public service was debauched by Blair. The press is full of tales of the shambles of the evacuation from Libya.

The height of incompetence is their failure to predict what was coming. It stuck out like a greyhound’s gonads. Weeks ago the blogs were full of predictions about the domino effect. Why did the professionals fail to see what to ordinary Joes was blindingly obvious?

So where next? This is what the admirable site Big Brother Watch has to say:

‘Eritrea seems an obvious candidate. It’s been governed by President Isaias, without any hint of democracy, since 1991. The Mo Ibrahim Index ranks Eritrea as the worst country in the world for human rights. (Even Somalia was better.) Reporters Sans Frontieres put Eritrea at the bottom of their press freedom index. The country is now second worst in the world for education provision according to the Global Campaign for Education, and the Global Hunger Index rates Eritrea as one of only four countries in the world where the levels of hunger are extremely alarming’.
