And so the bejeweled and bedecked Ms Maria Miller isn't prepared to address the very people she has been appointed to represent. Rather she prefers to steal from them the very sustenance that gives any meaning to their lives. This is then, the real face of our caring, conscientious, compassionate Government. Look hard at Ms Miller and explain her complacent countenance to the blind man.

Someone has their facts seriously wrong here.

When the UK Border Agency's director of appeals and removals, Phil Douglas states 'family visit visas are the only visit visa decisions taken by entry clearance officers abroad that still attract a full right of appeal', and the British High Commission in Malaysia states 'a family visit visa decision does not attract a full right of appeal under section 82(1) of the Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act 2002'

Who's right? If there is anyone out there with an update please let me know. TQ

This is not the time for jest in comment; i's tragic, truly tragic that we, as a caring society, allow this appalling decision and do nothing. We are becoming punch drunk from so many catastrophic decisions by the government that they no longer have the will to object. They can probably get away with almost anything they wish now...

Just sever ties with government Clegg, you've already severed any link to integrity, believability and courage. Go Clegg before criticism turns into disgust.

Take Clegg with you!

This is more than incompetence on a grand scale, it's becoming positively scary that we may have elected delusional fanatics to high office, and under our democratic system of government - can't remove them until their term of office expires. Can you imagine running a corporation on this basis?!

Rhetoric and demonstrations aren't penetrating the inner sanctum of power. We need larger and larger demonstrations of the nation's rage at Cameron's incompetence. Reflect of these words from an oppressed slave:

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ~Frederick Douglass

So, the electorate needs to march and demonstrate again and again. If Cameron continues to ignore the rage he has induced, then the country will witness the end of peaceful demonstrations, and chaos will ensue...Cameron must go!

Turning the army on their own people is, I would have thought, a lesson 3rd world countries have recently taught us not to do!

Maybe its to be the sucker punch Cameron and his bully boys have coming!

It's easy to attack the poor through social service cuts - they can't effectively fight back. For the march the forth estate can't even agree whether there were 250,000 or 500,000 protesting. Either way it doesn't matter. Vince Cable blatantly confirms this is announcing, 'No government would change in response to 500,000 protesters'. Attack the banks and corporate tax dodgers on the other hand and the government gets a smart smack in the face.

So, it seems, we are faced with more of a dictatorship than a democracy. Un ungovernable flip-flop electorate incapable of sustained economic and social progress.

Rather than criticise or wonder what will transpire over the coming months and years, why don't you - The Guardian, come up with a draft alternative budget and put that to your readership for review.

Why leave the economy to inexperienced politicians, appointed by their peers and not the electorate? Lead the way and draw together a panel of experts and let's start preparing an alternative way forwards.

5.27pm:•Department store Fortnum & Mason has been occupied by protesters from breakaway groups. Riot police have set up a kettle around the area.

You know perfectly well who the 'breakaway' group is - UKUncut, and you equally know what their reason for occupying the store is - why on earth don't you state that!? Sloppy, biased journalism

As expected, media coverage is focusing on the sensational side issues - read the headline again - ' Anti-cuts march: police prepare for violent minority'.

Unruly splinter groups are not the news! over 100,000 people demonstrating their rage at the governments cuts to public spending is the issue and should be reported as such.

It's little wonder the UK gets the wrong message when incompetent or bias reporters are allowed to publish propaganda like this!

It's time we revised the Bretton Woods outcome to support Keynes original objective of establishing a supranational currency - the Bancor.

We know to our regret that his proposal of introducing a supranational currency did not prevail against the interests of the United States, who established the U.S. dollars as world key currency. It's failed as has neoliberalism.

It is appropriate that the UK lead the world towards the new society based on Keynes' farsighted Bancor system

Today's briefing at the Ministry of Defence reflected the tension that exists between the commanders and ..... their political masters

Fox, Hague, and Cameron - cock up after cock up - it's frightening to have these incompetent under performers directing military operations. A raised eyebrow from the top brass today - may become a coup tomorrow. Gaddafi has more grasp on reality then this feckless bunch of idiots.

Let's all understand this: (1) the UK lands ground forces in Libya - without any UN clearance - only to have them captured, (2) then our feckless Government dither over actioning a 'no fly zone' finally allowing the neo-Napoleon Nicolas Zarcozy to steel a march on his allies my claiming French air strikes, then worst of all we allow perfidious North America to take overall control of the operation.

Why do we tolerate such an incompetent government leadership in this country?

With regard to the developed fawning relationship our post war governments have adopted towards the North Americans, keep in mind the recent history of military catastrophes the North Americans have suffered. Not just in Vietnam but Iraq, Afghanistan and North Pakistan and and all the collateral civilian damage caused, and then you will realise what horrors lay in store for civilians in Libya. Any moral high ground the North Americans may have had was destroyed when Nixon pardoned the My Lai mass murder Calley due to public pressure - yes public pressure for his release! and Obama only days ago authorising the release from Pakistan of the convicted CIA operative and murdered Raymond Davis. Do we want to be allied to a country who have shown they care less about civilian collateral damage, who are intent on covering up their war crimes and foreign assassinations? They will draw us all into hell hole believing their actions are accountable to no one.

"SAS-backed Libyan diplomatic mission ends in humiliation"

What more needs to be said. Hague is a total incompetent, and part of a light weight team who continue to under perform in every area of Home and Foreign policy, to the country's shame and embarrassment.

Some how, they must be ejected from office, or are we all too apathetic to care a toss.

Rank amateur is an understatement. The boy Cameron, Clegg, Hague, and Fox - individually and collectively - demonstrate that the Peter Principle ( "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence") is alive and kicking at the highest level of Government.

As far as the Civil Service issue is concerned, it's little more than a case of the tail wagging the incompetent dog.

The Guardian has removed the option to comment on today's leading articles. Why?

On this one: "Libya crisis: Cameron and Hague vow to rescue stranded Britons" it must be said that the boy Cameron and his feckless Foreign Secretary Hague have yet again screwed up and compounded their failure by yet more lies - now clearly a character defect throughout the cabinet.

Other countries have successfully rescued their nationals, some with military transport. We have shown the world that we can't even get a single plane off the ground. It seems Cameron's intention is to transform Great Briton into little britain - the laughing stock of the world.

My guess is that the our military, the best fighting force - man for man, in the world, is reacting to the cuts this government are tragically making. Boris Johnson's lies to cover up cuts to the Met will mean both our military and police will welcome a change in Government. God know, something needs to be done and urgently.

Guardian, are you missing something here? Yesterday you reported Hague's statement that he had seen evidence that Gaddafi was on his way to Venezuela.

Is nobody questioning this man, to establish where his information came from?

I suggested at the time he was simply a mouthpiece of the North American Administration attempting to link Chavez with the madman Gaddafi.

Let's hear from our puppet of a Foreign Secretary...
