A Quickie...

Morning,

I am feeling somewhat down and generally in the dumps right now, what with  the general feeling within me, that I am probably not going to be getting out of where I am, personally and professionally anytime soon.  Somehow, that has to change...

   

Some Thoughts...

Evening,

I am wondering whether we are able to comprehend what we have been witnesses to in the past week. From Labour getting wiped out at County Council level, all the way to the Fascists getting two MEPs into elected office early on Monday. However major parties try to colour it, it has been an monumental week in British political history.

The other astonishing thing about this week is even Labour shocking performance in both elections that the PLP are still willing to allow Chairman Brown even more time to fuck things up still further for the party. Surely they have to realise that the longer they keep Brown on as leader, the bigger the inevitable defeat will be. Labour have to get rid of Brown now before it becomes terminal..

As for the Tories, well I have to admit, it was quite a good performance by them. It seems that Call Me Dave was able to get the activists and more importantly their supporters out in relatively good numbers. However, I am not convinced that they are going to be the recipients of a convincing majority come any General Election, whenever that will be. What we saw last week was the coming together of a very anti-Labour vote, and not a Pro-Tory vote. Even the Cornish Nationalists, Mebyon Kernow beat Labour in Cornwall. Yes you read that right. Labour finished sixth in Cornwall...and it wasn't much better elsewhere...

The problem that Labour have got now is that those of us on the Left will not be able to forgive them for allowing the fash in by the back door. The government cannot expect us to stand around doing fuck all whilst the slime is allowed to crawl around Westminister doing poxy photo calls. There is the risk of some numbskulls losers seeing those fascist cunts getting attacked by the UAF/AFA - and subsequently start retalitory attacks, but the stakes are too high for us not to do anything. It is going to be a long summer...

Blogging On The iPhone.

Well this is rather entertaining. Just downloaded the 3.0 update and I have to say, it actually feels a lot, lot smoother than any of it's predecessors.

The only shame is that I cannot find any way to write my blog in the style that I do...

Shame...

The Naked Picnic…

Those fine people at Don’t Panic decide to have a picnic in the £87,000 garden of Tory MP Sir Anthony Steen.  Well we did pay for it…anything for some light entertainment in these dark timesHat-Tip to Guido

How Much Longer?

Morning,

So that’s that.  The PLP decided to blow their big chance and have decided that several decades of opposition, (and by that probably not even the official opposition)  to both the Tories and the Lib Dems is what they prefer to have, rather than use this window of opportunity to blow Chairman Brown out of that window.  What is there to lose, things couldn't get worse, at 15% and below UKIP.  How can Wales have gone Tory?  Good grief, only 8% voted Labour in the entire south-east.  YouGov says Labour has to get 20% more to win.  It looks virtually impossible.  That's what realists in the parliamentary ­Labour party said tonight – but everyone else decided that banging their desks was a better idea… They bottled it.

Obviously, Chairman Brown is not Labour’s only problem, however as much as his supporters hate to admit to it, he is their biggest obstacle to recovery and salvation.  Perhaps it is too late as it is, and throwing someone in now, would say more in regards of how panicky the party is rather than keeping the status quo.  However, something fundamental with Brown’s way of working must change, and change quickly – but he has already had 18 months to change his style, and nothing has changed.  Labour’s own share of opinion polls – were already down some four points even before Brown took over the ship.  He should have taken up the idea of the snap election, when he had the chance in the Autumn of 2007 – but he defended not going to the country by saying that he needed time to set out his vision.  Not much has come out…why should people expect that to change now…

  

Helpless...

Evening,

Lots of reasons to be extremely fed up this evening. The Parliamentary Labour Party showed just how gutless they truly are by believing Chairman Brown's ever continuing bollocks. You would not have thought that last night had bought around Labour's worse election results for nigh on 100 years and yet we are expected to tolerate another 12 months of Brown continuing to be Lord Mandelson's puppet. The amount of control that the Prince of Darkness has right now is scary beyond belief - they are heading headlong towards annhilation and Labour MPs just do not have a clue.

It is this cluelessness by the Labour leadership which has allowed two members of the Fascist B*P into office. Indeed, 65 years ago last weekend, when the biggest amphibious operation in history kicked into action to rid Europe of Nazism. And look where we are now, because of the naive nature of the mainstream parties on all sides. Those bastards who voted for the slime might as well have been waiting for those D-Day veterans to come back from Normandy and spit in their face. That is how sickening this is.

And yet Chairman Brown will not apologize for allowing the bastards into power - the cunt pretty much helped them.

British Jobs for British Workers, indeed...

Even More Depressing...

It has just been announced that the fascist cuntish leader of the B*P has won a seat as a MEP - in the North-West of England...

Words fail me. It is late now, and I'm due to be out of bed in little under four hours. I will comment further on this infamous night later today....

Night, Night

Rob :(

Depressing...

It has been confirmed that the B*P have won a seat for the European Parliament - they won a seat in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

They might win another seat in the North-West.

Chairman Brown has a lot to answer for. He must go on this alone.

Utterly depressing.

Pathetic…

No one is fooled, Gordon.  The stage-managed photo-op and ‘discussion’ would not have not looked out of place in North Korea.  I was discussing just how bad thought out this was, with some other people online, this afternoon and they were saying it was a party political broadcast.  It was.  For the Tories…There are also reports coming in from one of the sorting offices, in Manchester, where the B*P are “likely” to get an MP.  Which would mean more airtime for that odious party, and its reptilian leader.  That more than anything, is a reason to boot Chairman Brown out.  He is the one on watch at a time when fascists are probably going to get into power…he should be the one who pays the price… I hope I am wrong…

Brown Booed…

Rather damning…

Guido amongst others are reporting that Chairman Brown is meeting activists in East Ham this afternoon.  No doubt a different sort of welcoming committee will be waiting for him…

He was supposed to be meeting them from 4pm, however this has been moved forward to 3.15pm.  Shows me, that he is running scared of the electorate…oops he never was elected…

Already activists are angry with the e-mail inviting young actvists to the photo call, calling it more spin.  More desperado politics…

The Euro results are announced from 6pm this evening.  Expect Labour to get thumped, probably into fourth place…

Rob :(

Take The Mufflers Off, Please… It’s Over.

Evening,

I have seen enough.

I think that we have reached that critical mass point, where the leader of a democratic country must realise that for all the smugness and showiness that leaders can show, in the end the voters opinions’ matter more than anyone.  That is what we have seen in the local elections this week, and no doubt we will see similar results tomorrow night in the European Elections. 

The booing of Chairman Brown this afternoon, by veterans at the D-Day commemorations in Normandy had the sense of that moment arriving. 

We have seen in recent days, certain ministers resigning for one reason or another, but what we have seen today is the first shows of outright disdain from people towards Brown.  That the shows of anger towards Brown came from the very same people whom 65 years ago, this weekend were on the beaches of Northern France fighting to rid Europe of the horrible fascism, that is threatening to crawl itself back into mainstream politics, should speak volumes to Brown’s handlers.  The sounds were loud and clear…

As I alluded to last night, the way that Brown has parachuted more and more unelected bastards into cabinet office stinks to high heaven.  One person that I failed to note last night was the Prince Of Darkness.  Oh yes.  Chairman Brown has promoted Mandy to the office of First Secretary of State – in de facto terms, Deputy Prime Minister.  Fucking hell, what a fucking joke of a democracy this country is, when the second most powerful politician in the country is an unelected fucking lord.  And this is from a government who wanted to abolish the House of Lords…hypocrisy of the highest order…

Let it be clear to everyone.  Mandy owns Gordon Brown to a degree greater than any influence he ever had over Tony Blair, even though Blair once said that the New Labour project would be complete, when Labour MPs accepted and liked Mandy.  In one way he is in a far more powerful position as of now than Chairman Brown himself.  The only reason Mandy did not take the title of Deputy PM, is to be blunt that Harman would almost certainly would have walked since that title was, much to her annoyance, denied to her.  The last thing that Chairman Brown would have needed is another stiletto in his back…

It is Mandy’s responsibility that Brown is still in office, as it is known that he personally contacted Blairites within the cabinet to implore them to stay where they were and to publically support Chairman Brown.  Seems like someone disobeyed her orders from her master…

It is reported in one Sunday tabloid that e-mails leaked to the paper in question state that Mandy believed that Brown could never win an General Election.  So why the fuck is he propping him up right now?  He knows, like we do, that he can not hold a candle in comparison to Blair before him.  He knows that Brown as of this moment is a broken man.  See that press conference from last night, which was overshadowed by Flint’s resignation.  He seemed utterly destitute, unable to hide the pain of being seen as what he is.  A failure…the torture that Brown is continuing to endure must surely stop soon…who has the balls to turn that life support off…

Oh and before I forget, Mandy’s new title is First Secretary of State and Lord President of the Council, the Baron Mandelson, of Foy in the county of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the county of Durham.

Fucking representative of the Labour voter, well what’s left of them…

In The Bunker. Can Brown Survive The Meltdown?

Many right-wings bloggers such as Guido and Ian Dale amongst others depict Downing Street as the Bunker outside Berlin towards the end of April 1945, as Hitler stared down the Soviets red barrel towards the end of the Second World War.

One must ask what the feeling will be like in The Bunker in Downing Street this evening. Each time Chairman Brown tried to gain the upper hand over his enemies, both in the Parliamentary Labour Party and elsewhere, someone somewhere was waiting to throw a grenade.

Whether it was James Purnell announcing just as the polls were closing last night that he was jumping ship, or Caroline Flint backtracking on her original support for Chairman Brown last night, by announcing whilst Brown was doing his set-piece press conference that she was resigning from the government. And her resignation in itself has caused for several cans of worms to be opened on two major issues.

There can be no doubt that her suggestion that Chairman Brown led what was a two-tier government of cronies and the rest of the cabinet, whilst treating the likes of herself, Hazel Blears and Jacqui Smith as little more than female window dressing...Now that's a bitch-slap...from the woman who stood up last night and defended him in his hour of need. Was that a premptive move by the sisterhood? I think so!

What has angered me the most about the whole cabinet re-shuffle is who is coming in. Glenys fucking Kinnock is coming in replacing Flint as Europe Minister, no doubt supporting the continuous gravy train that is Brussels. Like the Prince of Darkness before her, she is coming in from Brussels - which makes you wonder why Brown is not able to rely upon any of his elected MPs.

Perhaps he quite likes the thought of having unelected commissars who only report to him and not the electorate.

Oh and did I mention that Labour lost all four county councils that they were defending, to the Tories.

It will only get worse. If yesterday and today was Labour's Hiroshima, Sunday's will be their Nagasaki.

Night, Night

Rob :(

Purnell Walks...

As the polls close, the news is breaking that the Work and Pensions Minister, James Purnell has quit the cabinet. It broke about five minutes ago and what it means is that we now have an open insurrection within the Labour Party.

Game's up, Gordon...

Some Good News...

Afternoon,

Just a message to let you know that following discussions with the consultant at the hospital in Canterbury, I will not be needing a operation to remove a cyst from the right side of my neck - which is rather good. I was never looking forward to going under the knive. Onwards and upwards...

Could Pity Save Brown?

Morning,

Just been down to my polling station here in Folkestone, a few people there casting there vote – the general perception being that regardless who you vote for the government always gets in.  As if that has always been the case…

There is a viewpoint, not popular though that with Cabinet Ministers resigning en masse in recent days that Labour, or more particularly Chairman Brown, might get some form of a pity vote.  The thinking behind it is that with Labour only expected to get say 15% of the national share of the vote, more Labour voters might feel inclined to go out and support their beleaguered leader.  Saying that though, even if they were to get 18% of the national vote, by historical standards it would be a fucking disaster…

Perhaps if they were to get, say the aforementioned 18%, Downing Street could spin it, rightly or wrongly that it was a better result than was expected.  Would they dare do that, though?  That in itself would say everything…

I will not be posting that much today as I am due to be having a minor op to remove a cyst from my neck this afternoon, hence why I am off work for the rest of the week.  That it coincides with the elections, is a happy coincidence.  I will be able to stay up and listen to Auntie’s coverage of the results later tonight.  Fantastic!

Probably will do some mobile blogging, once I am out of surgery.

The Euro Elections…Predictions…

Firstly, I think I need to say that we will see that the turnout for elections in general will be far higher than what we were thinking some weeks ago.  I believe that we will see in the UK, turnout will be about 43%, though as I said earlier this could be even higher, possibly nudging 50%.  I expect turnout will be highest down here in the South-East, where I can see Labour being blown away completely – thus getting no seats at all down here.  That would cause meltdown in its own right…

As for the national vote, I think the big story won’t just be how low Labour’s vote goes to, but the rise of those parties on the Right (UKIP) and Left (Green), and the sad realisation of Labour’s disaffected working class voters possibly going to the B*P – as a direct consequence of the percieved pandering by Labour towards minorities and one in particular – the big elephant in the room, being ignored by the mainstream parties is, I fear about to make its presence known.  I suspect they could get a seat in the North Of England.  I hope I am wrong.

Here is my prediction of the National Share of the vote…

LAB: 15%    CONS: 27%    LIBS: 17%    UKIP: 16%    GREENS: 13%    B*P 5%    OTHERS: 8%

Though again, I would not be at all surprised if Labour ended up fourth nationally, which would be as bad as it could get for Chairman Brown…

Whatever happens tomorrow and over the weekend, he will be doing very well if he is still Prime Minister by this time next week, and if he is still there by then, then I would expect him to be there by time a General Election comes round…and you think these elections are going to be bad…

 

That Letter In Full…

Dear Gordon,

Over the last 12 years in government, and before, you have made an enormous contribution to this country and to the Labour Party, and this is very widely acknowledged.

However we are writing now because we believe that in the current political situation, you can best serve the Labour Party and the country by stepping down as party leader and prime minister, and so allowing the party to choose a new leader to take us into the next general election.

Yours,

XXXX

If you are a Labour MP and reading this, send your support for the above to signonnow@hotmail.co.uk

You would be doing the country and the party a service…
