They are both ghastly. Swivel-eyed and bug-eyed at the same time. They all give me the creeps, and that the MSM and - of course - the BBC, are wetting their collective knickers about the "new generation" of Labour, makes the whole spectacle all the more gruesome.
I was, however, amused by a Guardian vox pop in Swindon, which found that most of the people they spoke to in the streets didn't know who Miliband E is. Well, I guess that goes for all of us, but my belief is that, as with Blair, the more we see of him, the less substance he will be seen to have.
And those sinuses. My God. At least he doesn't do that weird smile that his brother does, which always suggests to me impending doom. Some politicos - Miliband D and, of course, the late unlamented ArchIdiot, should NEVER smile.
Anyway, it's not stopped raining since the New Messiah arose. What can that mean?
If I may adapt your remark slightly, Elby, they are ALL ghastly. And the notion that Labour can pretend theirs is not a party of warmongering, criminal, financial incompetents is beyond belief.
What new generation? Same old, same old..
'Tis true. What is currently astonishing me about the wall-to-wall Miliband coverage is that they are now being seen as a political dynasty, up there with the Kennedys; yet neither brother has ever done anything that has improved the lot of those they govern.
Ghastly, ghastly, ghastly.
