With the publication of yet another poll showing Labour trailing the Tories by 20 points in the opinion polls, it is starting to dawn on Labour's acolytes that Gordon is, simply, not up to the job. Over on Labour Home, a poster by name of lulu is calling for Gordon to Go. Frankly, he never should have been PM in the first place. Blair was effectively ousted by a coup d'etat engineered by Brown himself, who then went on to ensure he was crowned leader unnopposed. For all his scheming and conniving to get his shaky, nail-bitten claws on the levers of power he now finds himself deeply unpopular within his own party.

At least one comment shows that some Labour Party supporters are still delusional, such as snowflake who posted this:

Lulu - the poor poll position is down to fuel prices. In 2000 when there was an oil spike to $30+ per barrel from $15 per barrel in 1999, Labour went from 15 points ahead of the Tories to 8 points behind them. And this was a period when Tone was still in his honeymoon period.At the time Labour was rescued by the USA going into recession, which cut demand sharply and sent the oil price plunging back down again....When this current oil bubble bursts, the public will stop being so cross and grumpy and give us a fair hearing again. But changing the leader will not help (unless he can strike oil in Hampshire!)

Clearly this was posted by either Hazel Blears or Harriet Harpy who continue to trot out the same delusional on-message nonsense in interviews and on QT. Sorry snowflake, Hazel or Harriet, the oil price is just a small part of Gordon's problems - now that the price at the pump has reached £1.20 per litre people can work out for themselves just how much they are being shafted by every time they fill up the petrol tank. Gordon's main problem is that we just don't like him.

One comment, for me, at least shows that there are still some honest Labour supporters about (unlike this complete arsewipe), this was posted by someone calling himself dingbat:

I'm afraid to say we're doomed, and frankly we deserve it, big time. Another comment above says that we have to lose to move forwards and that is quite true. We've just gone too far with a lot of the stuff we've done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I reckon the biggest issue for the electorate is excessive tax and spend, and now the coffers are empty there's no contingency to fall back on other than yet more borrowing and even higher taxation. A line in the sand was crossed some time ago on tax, and the 10p fiasco simply highlighted this, drew it to the attention of the masses. And the car tax issue is an even bigger ticking timebomb and yet those in charge press on regardless despite the dire warnings. £400+ to tax a £400 car? I don't think so. Also we've not been honest about our true motives in fundraising, and the (actually rather intelligent) public have now seen through this. If we portray a tax as "green" then let's have a green tax and overall revenue neutrality. But oh no, we just keep putting taxes up, and with no visible benefits to those who pay. We've spent more on services true, but much of that has just gone on fuelling public sector wage inflation, with little if any service enhancement. Is it any wonder that we're failing in the polls? We frankly deserve to lose. We spend too much, inefficiently, and we don't listen to what the electorate say. There are issues with the EU too - The irish no should mean no, and the constitution (let's be honest about that - calling it another name was a dishonest fudge) should die now, never to be resurrected. And David Davis has now raised the profile of civil liberties issues that many in our own party have been very uneasy about for a long time now.

Dingbat, although politically we will disagree, I applaud your honesty. You have hit the nail squarely on the head. However, I can't help but feel that the more honest supporters of the Party have lent tacit to support to Blair and Brown purely for the sake of being in government. They have allowed the slime within the party to take control - the unctious Blair with his TV evangelist faux sincerity, the scheming Brown who thinks the Prime Ministership is his birthright, and the evil Mandelson who furthers his own communist-leaning agenda in the corridors of power in Brussels.

Labour are finished. The press know it, the people know it and Labour themselves know it. I would like to bet that at the next general election, if Gordon cannot be prised away from No10., that Labour will find themselves trailing the LibDems and cast into the political wilderness. Good.

We have it within our own grasp, as a democratic people, to rid ourselves of this cancer that has eroded the very fabric of our society over the past 11 years. And we should rid ourselves of it, by any means necessary.
