The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

L'Ombre de l'Olivier.

In the shade of the olive tree blog, there is often a mot juste to be appreciated. I particularly enjoyed the remark that here, in a shipyard, was a sinking Gordon deserting his rat. How glorious too was the PM's wonderful doublespeak;

Far be it from me to go into the overcrowded fake psychotherapist business, but it seems to me that such a logical contradiction could only be the result of Mr Brown's subconscious having wrestled his raddled intellect to the ground.

I am becoming concerned that Labour's opponents are visibly enjoying this horror too much. Gloating is such an unattractive activity. Perhaps it's best laughingly to accept this apology for an apology? I think we may safely leave Mr Brown to his own people now. After all, if there's one thing British voters dislike more than gloating, it is political cannibalism.
