   Lord Carrington very quickly resigned as foreign secretary when Argentina invaded the Falklands eventhough some would argue it was not his fault. Cabinet ministers in today's government have a history of refusing to resign no matter how bad the mistakes. This policy seemingly supported by the prime minister who also never makes a mistake has done lasting damage to the general public's confidence and trust in politicians as a whole. We have seen spin and utilisation of the media by this government to such a degree that I now mistrust anything that officials say. Strange how they still refer to each other in the house as honourable and right honourable. Seems a pity to me that they cannot be expelled from the house for not being entirely honest. If they were in court giving evidence they would be guilty of perjury. What is so difficult about giving a straight answer to a simple question that requires a response of yes or no. I will give some credit to Des Browne he did admit he had made a mistake when he made his statement to the house but this was watered down by putting blame on the royal navy by saying it was their decision to allow media involvement. Labour have been very clever using the media to their advantage very often leaking information to reporters even before announcements have been made in the house. It is probably fitting that the media at some point comes back to bite the government and this is what has happened in this case. Looks like access to freedom of information is going to be the next thing to go now that MP's want exemption from it despite them bringing it in. They obviously don't like us knowing how much expences they claim. Should Des Browne resign? Yes, it was on your watch and you did have the opportunity to stop publication and you failed.

   Should Des Browne resign?

   Yes

   As part of a government that collectively made the worst policy decision in 100 years for making a pre-emptive strike against another country. They should all resign. Then some should be charged.

   Should Des Browne resign?

   Yes

   He made a bad decision, how do we know he won't make others, with much worse consequences? I have no confidence in ANYONE in this Government now, they seem to think they can do as they like, say sorry if it all goes wrong, and carry on as usual.

   Should Des Browne resign?

   Yes

   Yes, he should resign. This is what Des Browne said to the House of Commons: "I have expressed a degree of regret that could be equated with an apology". What a weasal! Not only did he make the wrong decision in the first place, he can't even offer a proper apology for it afterwards! Well, can't be that surprised when Blair said over the dodgy dossier that sent us to war in Iraq; "Well, I could apologise" and then didn't! It seems that our politicians have lost their sense of honour. Perhaps they want cash for it?

   Should Des Browne resign?

   Yes
