Now would be a good time for a Prime Minister and a Chancellor of Exchequer, to blame the political mishandling of the Feed in Tariff, on said Mr Huhne. sh*tfan
A quiet statement reaffirming "Call me Dave" as the greenest Prime Minister ever, and announcing new green jobs in the PV industry would be a cute political move.
Unfortunately, I don't expect anyone in government or near the prime minister,will have the sense to see the posibilities, nor the bravery to suggest it to him. facepalm

"I'm sure he'll be able to borrow the sword of truth from one of his predecessors."

I remember that quote. He (I have forgotten the guys name) was found guilty and went to jail.

Maybe the coalition will bring G W Bush in as a special advisor. Doubt it could be any more detrimental to their 'greenest govt ever' claims?
