David Milliband

Who is he, this David Minibland? Tony Blair's researcher, the grinning school swot who still looks and sounds like he's still doing his A-levels. The boy who has never had a proper job - ok he once worked in a think-tank. I cannot believe he is ten years older than me - he looks ten years younger!
And he, and a few other chums of his, seem to think that he is the man to save the country. Except he wont quite have the nerve to come out and say so directly. He is supposed to be foreign secretary, but its not often you hear him say anything of note or meaningful interest about anything to do with the world abroad - and its not like everything in the likes of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia etc at the moment is going swimmingly is it?!
In some ways, David Millibore seems to epitomise the new breed of politican - Ed Balls, Millibore mark 2, I cannot name any more because jsut the sound of their chirpy voices will make feel ill - unable to spout anything other than dreary, cliched media-speak, always on message, clattering home the message about how wonderful the last 11 years have been and how atrocious and appalling the country was in 1997.
I think we should send him on a posting abroad for long period of time, Afghanistan say, so he get on with learning about the real world, which is after all what his job entails.
