Is there no mechanism to remove an inept government?
such as the one that we (UK) have at the moment.
The USA has impeachment, what does the UK have,or do we just have to suffer them for the full term?

The Queen has the power officially but it has never been used, But if she did that then she would be accused of being pro conservative, Which I suppose she is

General election is that mechanism. Your reasoning has serious flaws - in the USA the government per se cannot be impeached, only the Executive (The President). The legislative houses cannot be impeached, therefore the law making As we do not have an Executive (other than, theoretically the Queen), impeachment is not appropriate to a system of Government such as ours. And also notable is the fact that impeachment cannot be brought against a US President for 'ineptitude', rather only for breaches of legal procedure. Finally though you may feel the current Givernment is 'inept' at least as many people as hold your view would evaluate the Government as effective or doing as well as anyone else would...

The opposition can call for a vote of no confidence which if sucessful forces a general election. The problem with calling a vote is that you still need a majority to vote in favour of the no confidence in order to win.
Since the government has more MP's than the other parties put together, the only way a no confidence vote would succeed at the moment is if a proportion of Labour MP's voted in favour as well.

Sure we've got impeachment here in the states but what good does it do if our other politicians won't implement it. Pelosi upon winning the majority in Congress ruled it out without bothering to see if there was sufficient grounds for it! I think she is as great a traitor to the country as Bush!

Yes, it's called an election.
Impeachment doesn't change the government, it can only change the President.

uprising and elections aside, there is also the vote of no confidence. But this has to raised with in parliament, probably by an opposing political party.
