The comments about darling's eyebrows contribute very little to this piece. Also, the unqualified assertion that he's fulfilled his brief to keep transport out of the news seems a bit off - congestion charge? london underground? crossrail? railtrack???

Three of those are London based and really focus attention of the Mayor of London. And yes Railtrack comes up a bit but you don't see Alistair Darling hauled throughout the media the way Stephen Byers was. Timrollpickering 19:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PHOTO NEEDED

The powers-that-be on Wikipedia seem to be objecting to official government photos of British politicians being used on Wikipedia as Crown Copyright is not a sufficiently free license. Apparently they are readily replaceable with free images. Not that I can find any. So here's the challenge people. If Alistair Darling (or one of his colleagues) is going to be in your area and you have a spare minute, grab your digital photos and get snapping! Hopefully we'll get a new photo soon. All efforts appreciated.WJBscribe 01:11, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
