If there is one thing politicians do well its shoot themselves in the foot (or, if American, shoot their friends in the face.)
You would think by now, with British troops bogged down in wars of attrition in Iraq and Afghanistan, that all politicians great and small would understand weapons analogies are a very bad idea.
But no, in an address to party workers who provide support for Members of Parliament, Hazel Blears told her audience "we in government are the front line, your job is to make the bullets for us to fire..."
And shoot themselves in the foot no doubt.
