I was wasting time looking at today’s poll about frequency of air travel on slashdot when I came across this comment.

Bah, I say. Bah. The terrorists have truely won the fight to cause permanent annoyance everywhere. And our politicians, all of them, went with it wholesale. Strike one up for that moral panic. Now, any takers on bets how long it’ll take us to clean that mess up? 20 years? 40?

Thinking of politicians brought to mind the following lines from "Ballad" by New Model Army

Not foolish and brave, these leaders of ours Just stupid and petty, unworthy of power

Unfortunately, I reckon that sums up modern British politicians perfectly.
