THE PROBLEMS OF KING & PARLIAMENT

The Governor of the Bank of England's sobering advice of yesterday was blatantly ignored in the unruly behaviour of the UK Parliament today, whose benches sounded as if they had been taken over by a multitude of Swiftian Yahoos when Shadow Chancellor Alan Johnson endeavoured to respond to the speech of George Osborne.

My present feeling is that neither the mild-mannered King nor the unruly Parliament are up to the tasks required of them.
