BLUNKETT: GENERAL IGNORANCE

Dizzy has an excellent hatchet job on David Blunkett's letter today to The Times. As he says the former Home Secretary - and, lest we forget in light of the HMRC debacle, former Secretary of State at the Department of Work and Pensions (how much of the 'systemic' failure within the Child Benefit system stems from his tenure of that office?) - "should shut up".

I've little enough to add - Dizzy covers all the bases superbly. But I have to admit that a wicked, perhaps even provocative in this politically correct age, thought came unbidden to my mind: "There's none so blind as them that can't see!"

P.S. Rest assured and for avoidance of doubt it's a commentary on his intellectual capacity rather than anything else.
