You’d have thought that by now that someone in the Conservative Party might have learnt to check their policy review documents carefully before printing them. I mean, how embarrassing is it to publish a document that points four different contradictory ways on the same policy, be caught out using ten years old data or propose a new law that is, er…, already about to come into force anyway?
Well, they’ve done it again. And again. Not one but two more blunders.
Blunder one – following from their triumphant success of proposing a change in the legal age of smoking which is going to happen anyway, they’ve now proposed to outlaw the stand by functionality on TVs. One slight problem. The Government has already announced plans to do just that. Oops.
Blunder two – they want to scrap a tax which, er…, doesn’t exist. I guess that makes a change from keeping so coy about what they will actually do about taxes which do exist 🙂
More details over at Liberal Burblings.
PS Does anyone actually check these documents, do you think?

exactly, exactly, exactly!
Maybe Grant Shapps does?
While this is all good knockabout stuff, are we quite sure that all our policy documents would stand up to such close scrutiny?
You just could’nt make it up could you. Inept or what.
