My hand is blurry because of global vibrations that started in America because hardworking families have told me it’s the right thing to do. If it was left to the Do-Nothing party we’d have no vibrations at all, and people might have to work for a living instead of relaxing while we give them all they want.I was at the pub last night. Not a boozy night – I was playing darts, and too much booze means lousy (and very long) games. We spoke about the new EU rules on fishing, explained to a grandfather that all his grandchildren now had their details on a database that would soon be left on a train for anyone to find, we spoke about how many had just lost their jobs and about the local firms who are not taking on new staff, we spoke about the attempts to close down pubs by any and all means possible. We wondered how much longer we would be allowed to carry our darts in our pockets and noted that a lot of people seem to be buying a great deal of tinned food and bags of salt lately.
Nobody was very drunk, apart from a couple of guys who always seem to be drunk when they arrive, and a good night was had by all. The pub now has a shelter out the back for smokers, so I won’t say the name because the Righteous will be round to declare it an ‘enclosed public space’ and slap a no-smoking sign on it.
We don’t talk ‘politics’ as such because none of them are interested in who’s running what. They are very interested in what’s happening in their country and in their own lives. Very interested indeed, and they are well aware of who’s doing that.
On the bar was a copy of the Daily Express. Unusual in itself, here it’s usually the Sun or the Record (the Scottish version of the Mirror). It was folded in half so I could only see the top line of the banner headline.
It said ‘Brown’s’.
I thought ‘What’s he done now?’ and turned the paper over to see the rest of the headline.
It said ‘Lost His Marbles’.
I haven’t read the Express before, so I went along to their website. It’s one of the sensationalist ones, you have to pick the story out of the hype, but it’s in there.
Yes, it was this story. The tale of the modern-day Caligula, a deranged leader whose own advisors are terrified to tell him that what he’s doing is driving the people of this country into a rage not seen since the mid 1600’s. They plot and they scheme behind the scenes, but they dare not attack their Emperor directly, in case he eats their children.
He believes it, you know. The world is in the palm of his hand, his to crush with clunking fist. He is the Saviour who will lead us all back into the wilderness, away from all that dastardly progess and sinful happiness, to a place where our carbon footprint will fade to nothing along with our history.
He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future. I’m beginning to think we shouldn’t have sent them the book. The gibbering idiot thinks it was a message from God.
The express follows up with this story.
Some Labour insiders fear Mr Brown’s strategy of comparing himself with President Obama is becoming an embarrassment. They are also warning that Mr Brown’s past claims to have vanquished “boom and bust” have now come back to haunt him.
Well, there are a few differences between the Gorgon and the President. One of the biggest is that the President was actually elected. I know, I know, we vote for parties here, not individual ministers, but we have an expectation that we will know who’s going to be running the show when we vote for that party. Then again, we used to have an expectation that at least some of those manifesto commitments would be honoured. That’s no longer the case either.
There have been Internet mutterings about the saggy-faced one’s sanity for a long time. He acts as though he has no ministers. He acts as though he is in sole and total charge. His ministers are off making up petty laws of their own, his MPs pursue personal agendas and the Gorgon takes no apparent interest in any of it. He is busy setting up his New World Order and if that means a few million have to suffer so he can achieve his vision, that’s just too bad. Well, Gorgon, it’s certainly new. It’s not worldwide though, most of the world is better off than us, including those countries that have already seen riots. As for ‘order’, I see little evidence of any of that in government now.
They want him to make a public apology for his mistakes in the past that contributed to lack of regulation of financial markets. Another minister said: “It’s as if we are in a lift. We don’t know if we are going down to the ground floor or to the basement or whether the entire lift shaft is empty and we are plunging to our doom.”
His own party think he should apologise! Come on, Labour, you know that’s not going to happen. We ordinary people have known all along that he and his little Tribe of Chaos have never and will never listen to anyone. They regard us with contempt. We are beneath them, we are Proles and they are the New Aristocracy.
Labour backbenchers and party members and supporters… you’re all Proles too. The Gorgon won’t listen to you either. At the best, you’ll get slightly less contemptuous treatment than the rest of us. While you’re useful.
The Gorgon is now clearly and demonstrably insane. He thinks he rules the world. None of those around him dare question his magnificence, none dare stand up to him, none defy his supreme will. This is not the Labour Party, this is the Gordon Brown Show and he is the only one who matters.
Labour are likely to be pulverised in the next election (if there is one) and deservedly so. They have abandonded everything they stood for and allowed this lunatic and his cronies to run the country unchecked. They don’t even deserve to be in opposition. So it seems likely that the Cameroids will take Government with a huge majority and be able to do just what the hell they please with no effective opposition. Just as Labour did when they destroyed Major’s government. Like Blair, Cameron will enjoy almost absolute control.
And so it will all begin again.
We don’t just need a new government. We need a new way to form a government.
