The April Fool is on us ....

Last Saturday, the Daily Mail ran an April Fool story about Tony Blair changing the colour of the front door to Number 10 from black to red ( see link ).

The fact that I read this story at face value – and with weary resignation - is not a testament to my gullibility ( I used to be a journalist and always keep a weather eye out for spoofs on the 1 April ).

Rather, it is a sad indictment of this Government that I would not be surprised by anything that they do – and changing the colour of No 10’s door is one of the milder acts of madness they could perpetrate.
