Held To Account? No More, It Seems.

Nick Cohen writes of his despair that UK politicians are no longer held to account for their actions.

I wonder whether the UK (or the US) will ever be able to claw itself back out of the cesspit into which it has fallen?

Things have not come to the same pass here in the Netherlands as in the UK – thank heavens.

We do have to be watchful though.

The shameful episode over Childcare Benefits (where 26,000 parents have been falsely accused of benefit fraud) still rumbles on, with politicians now at last agreeing that it was wrong, but still apparently without full repayment to all those falsely accused.
