No reward for failure

I note that John McFall MP seems to love the phrase "no reward for failure". Indeed his boss Gordon Brown seems to be keen on it too. Especially when they have been using it to give Bankers a metaphorical kicking.

Of course I agree with them, there should be no rewards for failure. It will be interesting to see therefore if Mr McFall, Gordon Brown and all the members of the Government will stand by their cry and accept no rewards for failure either.

After all their stewardship of the economy cannot be described as anything other than an abject failure by any measure you care to use.

Naturally, I expect this failure to be confirmed by the general public at the ballot box, sometime in the coming year.

If there are to be no rewards for failure, then none of the government MP's should be paid any pension and there certainly should be no peerages either.

Will they do the honourable thing? No I don't think so either.
