Bye bye Brown

It must now be the beginning of the end. Gordon Brown will cling on of course for as long as he can, but it is surely only a matter or when rather than if he gets the boot following Labour's worst election drubbing in four decades.
He might well trot out cliches about listening and leading (or was it leaving?), but few people now take him seriously. He has been exposed for what he really is...not up to it. And we have to sit through the cringe-inducing fake sincerity sessions about 'Just getting on with the job' (not for much longer he wont be) and how 'tough times call for tough leadership' (notable by its absence in the last 12 months).
It always amuses me whenever you hear politicians - say Hazel 'everything is wonderful' Blairs or the disturbingly over-eager and salivating Ed Balls trotting out their speeches about how well they've done, attempting to convince people that black is white. But in this case, defeat and rejection were so overwhelmingly rejectionist that it wouldnt even be worth trying to mount a defence. This was personal for Gordon Clown and it certainly wont be fixed by just flashing fake smiles and his newly whitened teeth onto our tv screens, machine gunning the same old lines at us.
