We Have let Down the Poor

According to the Telegraph:

Tony Blair conceded yesterday that Labour had let down many of the poorest in society

Tony, Gorse Fox has news for you... you've let down all of us.

He also admitted that the Government had become too bureaucratic to deliver effective help.

Coming from the Private Sector to work with the Public Sector has been a rude awakening for the Gorse Fox. This makes him ever more bitter about the amount of tax he pays for Whitehall waste. Particular fury is reserved for the annual fiasco in the late autumn where people desperately look for ways to spend money on anything that crosses their path to ensure their budget is not reduced for next year. This is "taking the p*ss" out of the tax payer.

Government officials said Mr Blair did not intend to create a new department to tackle "social exclusion" nor a specific post in the Cabinet.

That's a relief. It'll be another QUANGO then.
