Brown Must Go Immediately

He's lost it, hasn't he? Brown. He doesn't want to understand that either there must be a general election or there must be a determined rejection of democracy. He can't go on wandering about Southwold pretending there is a job to do. There isn't for him as Prime Minister. Not unless he's prepared to accept the reality of refusing to go to the country.

Will he face the electorate and accept their judgment, in full, immediately, or will he use state power illegitimately to maintain his position?

Permitting this deluded man to press on into infamy will be the death knell of the Labour movement; the parliamentary Labour party is so steeped in self interest and corruption it can barely be regarded as part of that movement, unless it moves to co-ordinate the removal of a would be tyrant at once.

Hats; you are so, so right here!

If you weren't so naughty (ha ha), I'd be on another plane...;0)

Mrs S would be with me as well!

JRT would have to be in kennels and that wouldn't work just now...

We can't have kennels. There are woods and fields and all sorts of chaseable creatures here just dying to meet JRT. Can't go home after of course but could stay with me and be visited. I'm much nicer than kennels and the cats haunt with no fear of dogs any longer.

Lilith and Elby are coming in a caravan, or perhaps it's now a fur-lined yurt, too.

The idea that Brown is the person best placed to lead the UK economy out of recession is utterly risible. The more we get people like Harriet Harperson trying to keep a straight face when she peddles this line the more she loses any credibility.

turning aside from the sub-Shakespearean tragediette of 'Liberty' McBroon and his Missing Courage, isn't a grander spectacle the even greater failure-to-be-brave of the entire PLP, and its delicious consequences

they funked it in 2007 and they funk it again

and there are hundreds of 'em !

(just goes to show, it isn't necessary to offer actual physical death to craven politicos, to have them grovelling piteously ... Stalin and Saddam spilled much blood entirely unnecessarily)

Yes, the Church merely showed the instruments of torture; mostly that was enough (except for those wedded to 'I get a kick out of you' which is commoner in modern politics than expected, after reading Craig Murray's latest post - not for the squeamish or even Angels).

ND I gaze aghast at how much worse it is than I thought when starting to complain a little over a year ago.

Will you write on the sale of nuclear plant and waste disposal building permission in England (bless you Mr Salmond for closing the Scottish border to this particular betrayal) being sold off for public peanuts to the French who would give the earth for a disposal site for their post war nuclear waste?

Craig Murray's [even later] post ...

straw is indeed a sinister individual

his campaign for a post as trivial as NUS president was extraordinarily ruthless and cynical, and one need have no doubt he would know what to do when the prize was even bigger

yes. HG, I will have a crack at the nucs. Just now there is soooo much to write about - and yet it's summer outside and I'd rather be travelling and museum-ing again !

Craig's very latest post is worth a quick glance too, ND.
