Who's Disrespecting Whose Memory

My own views of Gordon Brown and New Labour are far from complimentary but the latest storm of bollocks issuing via the Sun is just too silly to avoid comment. I heard the Sun's editor on Radio 4 saying that it wasn't Sun but the distraught mother who was mud-slinging at GB. Oh puleease! How disingenuous can you get. Rebecca Wade could come up with better justification than that which is probably why she's moved onward and upward. Apart from the obvious comment about the PM taking the time to write personally, Mrs Janes readily admits that she only read the first part of the letter before hurling it from her like a very thin asp. I suspect that this is just the opening salvo of Rupert & James Murdoch's anti-Labour campaign leading up to the next election. I presume they hope that a Conservative government will see the wisdom of taking the flagship BBC and holing it below the waterline so it's less competition for the great competitor Murdoch. Funny how free marketeers are all for the free market until they're getting their arses kicked whereupon they come over all protectionist.

In the end I think that the memory of the poor sod whose life drained away in some god-forsaken desert is not best served by using his death to beat up an incumbent PM. It doesn't bring much glory to anyone. But what do I know?

Off With His Head

OMG, the tumbrils are rolling and the knitting needles are coming out for the next public celebrity execution. Jeremy Clarkson's jibe at the PM has been declared 'unforgiveable' by the howling mob who've been primed by the Ross/Brand affair, stoked by the Carol Thatcher nonsense and are hard on the heels of the hapless overgrown schoolboy that is J. Clarkson (aged 141/2). This time the RNIB has been roped in to comment on the subject. 
Who's next, I wonder, in the Search For The Offended? I feel a new 'reality' show coming on. Wait a minute, you don't think we're already in the show, I'm An Intelligent Species, Get Me Out Of Here? 
Broad Geordie voice - This week the team will have to complete the difficult task of managing a global financial meltdown. Will they manage it and get fed next week? Will Gordon Brown overcome all odds to save the planet? Will his feeble attempts be thwarted by the cruelties of golliwog Clarkson?
Naw. Couldn't be. Could it? What do you think Mr Anderson?

Brown Savaged By Sheep

Jeremy, Jeremy you really should stay out of grown-up fights and confine youself to the boyish bollocks that you, Hammond and the other one regale us with on our screens. Even your insults are laughably childish. 'One eyed idiot' ? Please either up your game or STFU.

If You've Done Nothing Wrong...

Did I miss something? Did Bjork and Sigur Ros plant bombs in the London Underground while I was asleep and kill and maim dozens of voters. Because that's the only reason I can think of that Gordon's barmy army of legal eagles could have sanctioned the use of anti-terrorist legislation to freeze Iceland's assets in the UK. It's kinda like your local council nuking your vehicle for illegal parking instead of just giving it a ticket like any normal joe. Admittedly Iceland didn't seem to be handling their own personal financial meltdown very well but holy crap why not just go the whole nine yards and invade. Surely those smoking geysers are hiding places for all kinds of WMDs?
Remember folks, this is the administration that says their uberdatabase, all your information, is safe in their hands. If they're prepared to cripple the economy of an ally using the terrorist legislation what are they going to do to you, you're only a voter. Remind me again. Is this a Labour Government?

Help stop this lunacy now. Check this out and sign the petition. This folks, is not what the anti-terrorist legislation was meant for. But this is the way it starts.

Flash Gordon Saves The World

I am gobsmacked by Gordon Brown's chutzpah. Not only is he claiming credit for saving the planet from the results of a financial disaster which has happened partly as a result of the so-called 'light touch regulation' for which his government was responsible but he now has the unmittigated gall to stand in front of a British electorate and claim that unfettered capitalism is responsible for the disaster and that greater regulation is the answer. This is like an arsonist throwing water on a fire he himself stared and then claiming credit for putting it out. 

Un-f**king-believable. Link.
