I heard the useless pie munching trougher being interviewed earlier. He accepts partial blame for the policy but not for the scheme itself as he says that he had no idea that it was so far over budget because he was running a number of major projects at the time and the civil servants wouldn't tell him.

Well perhaps if you had spent less time shagging that dozy tart and stuffing your feckin face then you could have done your job and found out for yourself.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
