I Do Not Heart Gordon Brown

[poliphilo]

Gordon Brown, having reached some sort of accomodation with Tony Blair, has spent the past few days grooming us as his future subjects.

Ooh look, he's not sulking any more.

Ooh look, he knows how to smile.

And take a gander at the wife and the wean! Aw, isn't he just a cuddly old poppa bear?

(Pity about Dunfermline- Heh-heh-heh.)

Here are two of his sparkly new policies.

1. Schoolkids will be encouraged (pressurised?) into joining the cadet force.

2. June 27 will be celebrated as "Veteran's Day".

Because our armed forces are wonderful

Because respect and discipline are such jolly good things

(Pity about that video from Basra)

And because this is exactly what we thought we were voting for (not) when we put our crosses against New Labour candidates back in '97-

More militarism- yay!

He seems to have spent his first day as co-prime minister, out-blairing Blair. I find his hunger for power (at whatever cost) and sense of entitlement profoundly dispriting.
