Firstly Saturday's Guardian lead article: where Gordon states that he "could walk away tomorrow.
Gordon Brown has admitted that he has been "hurt" by the personal attacks on him
during the failed attempt to oust him this month, and said that he
might move to teaching after he leaves office
Oh please do Gordon, for all our sakes. And as for those "personal attacks" - take note, because despite Ayatollah Mandesailor whispering sweet nothing in your ear, that is what we, the electorate (apart from the rump 15% or so that would vote for dogshit were it to wear a red rosette) really think of you. Yes we do...incompetent, inept, socially retarded and an embarrassment to the nation that we actually let you out of doors on your own let alone meet the US President.
As for going into teaching - would you pass the CRB check Gordon? Would you really? And even if you did, I could think of nothing worse to inflict on a student than to have them sit through one of your classes while you drone on and on reciting lists of tractor statistics. Hang on....here's a thought; yes do go into teaching...it would be a fine incentive to students. If they don't behave they get to spend an hour's detention in one of your classes. Good behaviour would sky rocket and truancy would be wiped out almost overnight.
"To be honest, you could walk away from all of this tomorrow," he said.
"I'm not interested in what accompanies being in power. I wouldn't
worry if I never returned to all those places - Downing Street,
Chequers ... And it would probably be good for my children."
To be honest you say. Gordon you don't KNOW how to be honest. Your entire career is built around lying, spinning and malicious rumour. Just look at the people you have surrounded yourself with; McBride, Whelan, Watson, Balls, Hain, Jowell, Harman and Mandesailor - the most mendacious, dishonest bunch of people ever to have held public office. Okay, maybe not Harman - she's just barking.
As for what would be good for your children, the best thing is keep them away from any books on you, or newspapers, or the internet. In fact, don't teach them to read at all, you'll save a fortune in therapist's fees in years to come. And for their own sake, don't teach them the same "Prebyterian values" your father bestowed on you - look how that turned out.
The second article is in The Sunday Times: News of a further cabinet split.
GORDON BROWN is facing fresh cabinet disquiet about his leadership after senior ministers in a meeting at No 10 openly questioned his tactics for taking on the Tories.
The prime minister was challenged at a session of the full cabinet last week after he insisted Labour should fight the general election on a platform of more public spending in contrast to Tory “cuts”. He is determined to repeat the tactic that helped Labour win in 2005, despite the economic recession making significant spending increases impossible.
And
According to one source who was present, Brown was visibly irritated at the
way he had been undermined, and brought the meeting to an early close,
avoiding further debate.
Riiiiight. So Gordon throws another wobbler. All that mea culpa, oh woe is me, I promise I'll be agood boy stuff at the PLP meeting the other week - that was a complete sham. All bullshit. Gordon is incapable of change, it's not in his nature. He can't have things his own way, so he throws a little strop and takes his Noah's Ark animal set and buggers off to play on his own.
You see, the tone of both these articles is me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me and the nasty Tories....not a though about the country or how to get us out of the mess that Gordon got us in in the first place, no thought about putting the interests of the people first. It's all me; please feel sorry for me; it's not me it's those nasty Tories that caused all this with their lack of policies; vote for me or those Tories will be the government - not me.
Gordon, if you really are serious, then do us all a favour. Call your own bluff and walk away. Sit down this afternoon at Chequers and write up your resignation letter. And first thing tomorrow give the Queen a call and tell her you want to see her, take a ride up the mall and hand in that letter. Go on, if you are man enough.
