This is where the Buck stops

The Buck Stops Here

Does the PM know about the NEATH FERRET website?  If not, he soon will!

Passing the buck 

"The buck stops here" is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman, who kept a sign with that phrase on his desk in the Oval Office. The phrase refers to the fact that the President has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions. Truman received the sign as a gift from a prison warden who was also an avid poker player. It is also the motto of the U.S. Naval Aircraft Carrier USS Harry S. Truman/

Footage from Jimmy Carter's "Address to the Nation on Energy" shows the sign still on the desk during Carter's administration.

We have two questions:

1. Has David Cameron got a similar reminder on his desk?

2. Where does the buck stop at Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council?

No doubt some reader will come up with the answer - or some comment!
