Today’s newspapers are of course full of the “Gordon, Mrs Duffy and Rochdale” story, the majority of which, speak of the Great Gordo’s imminent downfall. Of course a few try to downplay the whole thing which is frankly a little silly given that the last of the TV Debates is on this evening and some mention of it is inevitable.

I notice that the Independent has yet another person on ‘Work Experience’ writing Editorials with little clue how to write a headline: http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/leading-articles/leading-article-more-a-lapse-than-a-catastrophe-1957034.html

A Post…

Having already dismissed this story last night, I just couldn’t resist expanding my reaction just a little for the benefit of the other regular contributors, of all political persuasions who write in regularly. It is intended to be part serious but also, a slightly humorous dig at what this election seems to have become, rather unrealistic. No I don’t wholly blame the politicians and their “spin teams” for this, the public too have played their part by burying their collective heads in the sand.

Fellow Readers…

I want this disgraceful oaf removed from both Downing Street and Public life altogether but to me all this hullabaloo over someone that we all know is a bad tempered, out of touch with reality and politically inept man, seems over the top. By now, if he had been in New York and was called Naomi Campbell, he would have served several Community Service sentences already for throwing things at his staff. There is hardly any news value in this at all and surely we can all agree, this wasn’t a lapse, it was quite normal for Gordon Brown.

For me the funniest moment was watching Hattie Harmon trying to defend the situation on Live Web/TV, I was doubled up with laughter ! Although and to be fair, however much I detest the interfering old bag, she at least had the bottle to come out and bat, so “Big Brownie Points” for her I guess.

As for whether it is a catastrophe, who knows, do I care ? I thought it was rather more telling that some lady Labour candidate got arrested by the Police for using a roundabout as a means of stopping her car, they had to cut her out of the wreak apparently. I suspect that it is all up for Labour and Brown, a train crash in slow motion.

Tonight’s TV Debate

The one thing that rings true is the key question Mrs Duffy asked him: “How are you going to get us out of this debt ?” If any Muppet who watches the last of these dreadful TV Debates tonight, expects an answer to that question from Brown, Clegg or Cameron, don’t hold your breath, none of them will tell you that because you have already demonstrated through the Polls that if anyone tries to tell you the truth, you run away.

So, whoever wins is keeping that back as a very special surprise but for all the claims of ‘difference’, it will be the same, cuts in services, job losses in the public sector and tax rises all round, the colour of the Rosette will have no influence, the policies will have to be identical and really, we know this already, don’t we Folks !

The Key Issues

When it comes to May 6th, forget any talk about ‘policies’, concentrate on the real issues, who’s face do you want to see on TV every other day talking crap ?

Five more years of “Grisly Gordon” hissed off because Goldilocks keeps eating his porridge ?
Five years of smarmy “Click Clack Clueless Clegg” ?
Five years of “Decent Dave” being terribly earnest ?

Personally I want a change of people to moan about and take the hiss out of. For me it is more than Gordon, I am bored with all of the Labour faces. ‘Blair’s Babes’ have all transmuted to ‘Hattie’s Hags’ so, Labour is well past its sell by even, use by date.

I might consider Clegg but he doesn’t have a “Team”, it’s just him, Cable and Hune, no one knows the rest, a bunch of bearded, sandal wearing MPs. The LibDem women MPs are the same except that they wear ‘sensible shoes’. I think that they are a sort of British Amish Movement.

No it will have to be the Tories because they have the potential. Teresa May could most certainly evolve into a ‘hate figure’ that combines the most detestable traits of Hattie Harpoon and Patricia Hewitt. Gove, Osborne and that arch criminal Damien Green have absolutely ‘Huge Potential’ to annoy and revive sales of soft foam ‘tele-bricks’ to hurl at the TV whenever they appear on screen.

In conclusion Dear Fellow Indy Commentators (and they don’t come more common than us…), we have no choice, we must ALL VOTE TORY !
