Labour: Not a Norwegian Blue
This Milliband business - are we meant to care? I mean, are we - really? So he writes a piece in the Guardian (where else?), says the party must 'find the confidence to make its case afresh' (yeah, that'll do the trick), and doesn't mention G. Brown. The commentariat promptly gets into a foaming lather, while the word that occurs to most of us, I suspect, is 'pathetic'. That nice, well behaved prefect Milliband 1 - always so nicely turned out - fires his popgun at the beak. Is this the best they can do? Well yes, it probably is, for the simple, blindingly obvious fact is that no one in their right mind would want to inherit this leadership. As poisoned chalices go, this is surely the most venom-rich around. A change of leader would mean a general election , which Labour would lose. Stick with Gordon and this pathetic spineless useless bunch can hang on to their seats and their perks till 2010. They know the game is up. The only question is whether the party itself or the electorate deliver the coup de grace. The Labour parrot is dead, it is defunct, it has ceased to be. It is not a Norwegian blue pining for the fjords.

Very true Nige. I think you have got it in one about the MPs reckoning on how long they can keep their jobs since most of them are unemployable thereafter. On the other hand, they may calculate that without Brown they can minimise the scale of the defeat.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your Emotibot post too, Captain. I can't get into the Comments - probably it's this steam-driven NigeCorp technology. BTW I see your old friend A.C. Grayling is on Desert Island Discs soon....
ReplyDeleteAs Hitler said when told that Eva Braun's brother had betrayed him (he was in Berlin with the Russians outside at the time) 'am I to be spared nothing?' A thought that always makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that very shortly Brown will meet his ides of March. Into the vacuum will slither either Millyput the very strange one or the blindworm Harman, funny how she resembles Charlie Mansons women, blind obedience to an anti christ. (until she realized that the John Lewis account may disappear) Whatever, we may have to care, either one of these useless bints may be the next senior attendant at the Westminster pool.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the final days of uncle Addies clique as well captainb, that night at the Berlin Opera in April 1945, the finale.. the final act of Gotterdamerung, at least they went out in some style.
On a personal note the Maltys are now seriously looking at some property in the Hunsruck, just in case.
Help, just heard the noos, Scottish gas up 32%, hang on a minute, were on oil that's gone up 500% in the past ten years, peat anyone?
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that the prefect and the other sixth formers are so inexperienced they don't even realise how inexperienced they are!
