I am due a rant. Increasingly politicians (It was Douglas Alexander this weekend) are heard to say that taking no action is not an option. The proposition is ridiculous - in many cases taking no action is often the least worst option in difficult situations. One only has to look back at the mass of legislation passed over recent years that have either made things worse or have the contrary effect to that intended.

There is an old adage that says 'if in doubt do nowt'.
