This Is London report that “A driver has successfully challenged a notorious traffic camera that is estimated to issue £1 million a year in fines. ” Driving in London is a nightmare, there are new regulations to try and follow, signage everywhere to try and process and cameras ready to record any indiscretion and fine you accordingly. The motorist is treated as a cash cow by government, both local and national, and it is time this situation changed.

There is a debate each year on this issue but surely the only way to make this fair is to base prize money at each round on the entertainment value and effort expended by the players. How about basing prize money on number of minutes played rather than male/female?

Gordon Brown predicted that the recession would be over by the second half of 2009. So if you look at my counter on the right, there is now under a day to go before all will be fine and cuddly under the leadership of Gordon Brown… OK, maybe not.

Further to my recent postings on alleged current links between Gordon Brown and Damian McBride (most recent here ), I was interested to read in The Observer that Ed Balls had admitted meeting Damian McBride socially: “Ed Balls has become the first senior Labour politician to admit being in touch with Damian McBride, the disgraced spin doctor, following his resignation over attempts to smear senior Tories. The children’s secretary, a long-term friend of the former Treasury aide and one of Gordon Brown’s closest allies… Asked whether he had been in contact with Labour’s most notorious pariah, Balls confirmed that he had, but suggested it was purely social: “I certainly wished him a happy birthday. As I said [when he resigned], Damian did a very stupid thing, he’s paid a very heavy price, but we all get on with our jobs.” Had he discussed policy with McBride? “Of course not.” Although McBride is applying for a job as a school outreach worker, Balls said it was “very unlikely” that they would meet through work.” “Very unlikely”, that leaves the door ajar just enough does it not? The Observer piece ends: “Tory MPs, however, plan to challenge Balls this week over the nature of communications with the former Downing Street adviser. Senior Tories are convinced that McBride has not been completely cut off from his old circle.” As readers of this blog know, James Duddridge has send a follow-up letter to Gordon Brown asking to answer both parts of the question he was asked at PMQs. Some thoughts: Is Ed Balls’ “admission” a tactical device to take some of the pressure off of Gordon Brown, who can now use this “social” meeting as an explanation of “contact”. Will Gordon Brown dare to use an “I answered this question last week” reply if asked at PMQs about contact between Damian McBride and himself. If he tries this answer will John Bercow take any action or will he resort to “It is up to the Prime Minister how he answers questions”?

The Telegraph yesterday was commenting on airline extras and concentrating on Ryanair. Whenever I compare prices between British Airways (my airline of choice) and the “budget airlines” I find that by the time the extras have been added the prices are not too far apart and I’d rather fly with an airline that has a reputation to protect. One sentence caught my eye yesterday: “Ryanair is to ban hold luggage and force passengers to carry their own bags on to aircraft in an attempt to cut costs” Just a moment, if Ryanair ban hold luggage then that leaves just cabin luggage and passengers have always carried that themselves; so what’s the change? My guess is that the report is wrong and the plan is actually for passengers to carry their hold luggage to the plane where it is loaded into the hold; thus saving some costs and also sparing passengers’ bags from the handling of airport baggage handling. Maybe someone knows the truth or the Telegraph could check their facts and journalist’s logic.

I know I have posted this video before but it is good to be reminded of the high regard that Keith Vaz is held in by Alan Johnson and Diane Abbott. Is there a more objectionable current MP than Keith Vaz? Actually I can think of quite a few, several in the current Labour Cabinet in fact, but Keith Vaz must be in the top 10, mustn’t he?
