The Mad, the Bad and the Deluded

The clunking fist has spoken.

Gordon Brown has urged Labour to “change the world again” in what was billed as his make-or-break speech to the party’s annual conference.

Jesus Christ! This man really does have delusions of grandeur, although, Napoleon he ain’t. Here we have a mediocrity promoted way beyond his level of competence fucking up a country’s economy for generations to come, and he wants to do it all again.

He said voters at the election, due to be held by next June, would have the “biggest choice for a generation”.

Bwahahahahahaha!

New policies included a referendum on electoral reform, power to recall MPs, more free childcare for poor families and state homes for single mothers.

The prime minister also vowed a fresh crackdown on anti-social behaviour.

Ah, so as they lurch drunkenly to the biggest defeat they are likely to have ever faced, deeply unpopular among those they have dispossessed, they now want to change the rules on election. Funny how all the time they were winning with large majorities, FPTP was all fine and dandy… Hypocrisy doesn’t come close to describing the sheer mendacity of this man.

To cap it all, he dusts down one of the worn out old policies that Tony Blair once spouted, takes a bit of wire wool to the rust, sprays over some of that grey undercoat, sticks an old nail in place of the missing axle, in the hope that the wheel will stay on this time and rolls it, squeaking and creaking for the lack of a bit of three-in-one, out into the glare of the sunlight in the hope that we may have forgotten where it came from and that it is still the rusty old tricycle the previous rapscallion tried to flog us.

His speech came on the day an Ipsos Mori survey suggests the Conservatives are on 36%, Labour on 24% and the Liberal Democrats on 25% – the first time since 1982 that this polling firm has recorded Labour in third place.

It couldn’t happen to a better bloke.
