Gordon Brown is a two-faced git (via nosemonkey). And this is what he said only a few days earlier. So, home-ownership only for the deserving, eh?

From BBC news: Labour keeps Cook’s Commons seat. A swing of 10% to the SNP is not to be sniffed at, but I guess NuLab will be taking the win as a mandate to carry on regardless. Shame that… And although the SNP issue of bringing back essential services to St John’s Hospital in Livi […]

Sick of the Republicans? Fed up with waiting for the Democrats? Can’t stand to waste yet another vote on Nader? Well check this out: A Presidential candidate for 2008 (via nosemonkey).

From BBC news: Labour issues apology to heckler In the post-match interview: “I’m going to personally apologise to him,” Mr McCartney said. “I’m going to personally meet him if he takes the opportunity.” (Emphasis mine.) Umm… I don’t know what Ian McCartney is normally like, but I think that was a poor choice of words. […]

From BBC news: Ministers ‘back’ Brown for leader. “My vision is to build a home-owning, asset-owning democracy, a Britain of ambition and aspiration, where all and not just the few have the chance to own their own homes, buy shares and build up assets,” said Gordon Brown… Oh lawdy-lawd… “Ambition and aspiration”? Fine sentiments, Mr […]

From BBC News Video and Audio: Galloway vs Hitchens. Eh, what fun. Skipping sideways for a moment, I thought for a second that I’d met GG last week at the airport in Dyce, but probably not. I’m not very good at recognising people I don’t know personally. And I worry constantly that I won’t recognise […]

From BBC news: Merkel ahead in tight German vote. Another suitcase in another hall; take the pictures off another wall; Where is Germany going to? Don’t ask anymore. Apologies for bursting into bad ALW music… What on earth are the Germans going to do now? I’m guessing a “grand coalition” is a euphemism for a […]

From the Guardian: Mandelson’s textiles U-turn Honestly! “Rationing”? When did clothes become one of life’s essentials? And if we’re talking about clothes from China, 1. they’ve probably been made by poorly paid, badly treated workers, and 2. they’re probably more tat that we would do well to stop buying. Who’s been twisting Mandy’s arm anyway?

Sick f*cks. (via curious hamster and doctor vee) Nosemonkey, too, is well-angry. Although I wouldn’t go as far as placing ALL the blame on the damn BNP (but it would be a plus if there is a massive backlash against the bastards from the entire country), I would stick my neck out now and say […]

Watching a bit of C-Span to try to cure the insomnia. “We are united in our determination that our country will not be defeated by such terror but will defeat it and emerge from this horror with our values, our way of life, our tolerance and respect for others, undiminished.” –Tony Blair. And from across […]
