Twat of the Week: Peter Mandleson

Good old Mandy. He's been out of the limelight recently so he had to do something to get himself plastered all over the Sun.

Our very own EU Trade Commissioner rather generously decided to do something daft, half baked and ill thought out to help the poor clothing manufacturers of Italy and Spain who are struggling a bit at the moment. His solution was to impose unworkable quotas on Chinese textile imports meaning that millions of pounds worth of stock is now stuck in warehouses across Europe unable to be delivered because quota's for the year have already been reached. Having millions of pounds worth of stock in warehouses that you aren't allowed to sell is obviously good for business - nice one Mandy!

Peter Mandleson, for stupidty above and beyond the call of duty, your are this week's Twat of the Week.
