Partial Comfort

It appears that a catalogue of failures can still - provided one is not a prime minister who launched an unjustified invasion of a sovereign country, or the shyster posing as an attorney general who provided the legalese, or the chancellor who poured taxpayers' money into the criminal enterprise, or the chancellor who poured taxpayers' money into private-sector profiteering schemes which benefited nobody but his chums in the City, or the chancellor who boasted about the end of boom-and-bust economics while presiding over the incubation period for the mother of all busts, or the home secretary whose department has spent millions on IT schemes that don't work, or the home secretary whose department can't provide identity cards and scanners to read them at the same time, or the defence secretary who can't feed, arm and protect his own troops, or the police chief whose force shot two innocent men, killing one and defaming them both - be grounds for sacking from a government post.
