Jester, Amuse Thyself

So Charles Clarke thinks that Gordon Brown should resign if things don’t improve? So what? Almost everybody else thinks he should have resigned before he came into office. But even so, surely Mr Clarke’s remarks are a bit rich coming from someone who after a few months in charge of a government department, it was described as being ‘unfit for purpose’ by one his own colleagues. Of course, these comments come from a man who has yet to master the art of shaving, has the savoir-faire of a Tourette’s sufferer and the dress sense of a ‘Big Issue’ salesman.

But what else can we expect from a Labour Party politician; the organisation that has brought us the seemingly endless succession of clueless buffoons, incompetents and dogmatic pseudo-socialists we have had the misfortune to call a government over the last eleven years? Let us review this Z list of political wannabes and failures; it includes such illustrious names as: John Prescott, Frank Dobson, David Blunkett, Geoff Hoon, Des Brown and Stephen Byers to name but a few examples of the embarrassingly ineffectual and damaging personalities that we have had to suffer in Westminster over the last few years. Against this lot George W. Bush looks positively erudite.

Ours is a government that has, amongst other things, masterminded the break-up of the United Kingdom; the handover of (for all practical purposes) sovereignty of the nation to a European federal government; and the destruction of our economy. Now, finally, just as it all starts to go to hell in a handcart; they start to spot the inadequacies of each other.
