Queer as a Clockwork Orange

As a total embarassment to the Labour Party, their Leader is hard to beat. Representing a Scottish constituency, imposed, not elected within the Party, the focus of deep misgivings about what has been done in Labour's name over the last decade, a Leader who succeeded in engineering the first run on a UK bank for 150 years, financially, economically and organisationally incompetent - in ordering and re-organizing UK financial institutions in 1997, his loudest boast, why was the split of the Financial Services Authority from the Bank in 1997 so poorly understood and executed that macro economic research was left in the Bank of England and at the FSA there was only a department concerned with micro economic research. Systemic risk, which we are assured produced the run, is a macro economic phenomenon.

Posturing in Iraq before soldiers to whom he has consistently denied funding, posing as Leader in a war initiated by lies to Parliament, the unforgiveable parliamentary and democratic sin, which Brown backed and sustained, and a war conducted not with a war economy designed to sustain the war effort and remaining democratically answerable for its expenditures, but a private profit, off balance sheet conducted war, where the purpose of war expenditures is not to equip and arm and make effective our soldiers, but to make money for private companies.

Declaring first that Blair's parliamentary majority could properly be allocated to a Brown unelected leadership because there was continuity in the Labour regime, then arguing that what Blair had done was nothing to do with him and that the country could expect change, change, change, and then, such promised change requiring a mandate from the people, an election on whatever manifesto such change would be fulfilled, not daring to face the electorate because it is clear there is no electoral mandate for Brown from the people, just as there was none from his own party.

Never elected, deeply flawed in personality and with not just his own financial and economic reputation ruined but that of the UK tarnished worse than at any time in the last 200 years, unable to decide if he is Labour regime continuity or the fresh face of a New Dawn , surrounded by young fools and old tainted hacks, the constitution in tatters and the economy on the brink of ruin, facing public service strikes throughout the winter, and massive popular discontent with his loathsome high taxes on working people and their redistribution to the feckless poor, he is in office and in his own twisted, authoritarian way, in power; inept and graceless in social interaction, could a normal, human advisor not tell him that nothing would so become him as withdrawal to his own country and into private life?

We, the people, are not to have our chance to speak. If the Labour party could do one shining act of political good to redeem itself from the slough of pain, corruption and despond visited not just upon the UK but much of the Middle East and Asia, one deed to rescue itself from the malchick horroshow that is Brown and his boys - Get rid of him on behalf of all of us, and choose a proper human being to lead you.
