A Government that has lost its wits!

It is apparently a somewhat old-fashioned expression these days but the statement that a person had lost their wits evoked in the past more sympathy and understanding in the listener than the bald statement that a person has lost their marbles which seems today's replacement description.

Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister has gone on record this morning in the press with a lunatic proposal that fathers should in future be entitled to 10 months paterntity leave, a certain recipe for much extra insanity amongst normally productive fathers earning their income by their own efforts - unlike Cameron and Clegg!

The BBC interview on the Today programme with the actual Prime Minister, who entered Government as an obvious half-wit and has now gone all the way, may be heard here for complete confirmation of his unfitness to govern.
