THE LAST DITCH
Link: BBC NEWS | Politics | Reaction: Election announcement.
As ever, Alex Salmond expresses himself most pithily. What a shame his undoubted political talents are wasted on petty provincialism.
Gordon Brown …ran away at the first whiff of grapeshot.
Those whom the gods seeks to destroy they first render ridiculous, and this shambles leaves Gordon Brown looking totally ridiculous.
I think, Tom, that Tiberius had a nice take on this too. Yes, it showed that the Broon backbone is, in fact,composed of jelly.

Brown is as spineless as one of his bogeys. I wonder how many have been consumed in the last twenty four hours.

Not a coward, but an egotist. No way would the man-who-would-be-feuhrer (another chancellor rising to power) face the relinquishment of power. More laws to alter until he is ready. Once immigration has removed the face of Britain forever, into a country that never was, then the Federation of Europe can make its march. No values but the State. Blair will now be removed from all public photos henceforth.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
