Labour are torn between supporting or shafting Brown
Dear Harriet Harman,
Nice try, but you ain’t fooling nobody. As Gordon Brown hid away yesterday after the C&N result, save for a quick few words about how he ‘understands our concerns’ (although obviously not very well, seeing as he is in fact the biggest concern we have), you were left to make some speedily hashed-together statement about Labour are doing just fine and there’s nothing to worry out. Yer, right.
Although you admitted there were “discordant voices” in the party yesterday (I call them ‘realists’), you were keen to point out that “the overwhelming majority of people in the Labour Party – and I speak to constituency chairs up and down the country in my capacity as deputy leader – are solidly behind Gordon Brown and what he stands for, which is a strong economy and fair society. He is the man with the experience to make sure that happens.” Hmmm. Let’s deconstruct that statement, shall we. Do constituency chairs really support him? I remember reading a survey in the papers not too long ago saying that 55% of Labour members wanted him out. And may I ask who doesn’t want a strong economy and a fair society? That’s like saying Gordon Brown believes in low crime – an utterly worthless and blindingly obvious statement. To say that he is the one with the experience to make things better is astonishing, seeing as his ‘experience’ and decision-making over the past 11 years, let alone the last few months, has dug Labour into this mess.
Honestly Harriet, you really can’t believe this rubbish you’re spouting, can you? I can imagine your role of pretending to support Gordon is not an easy one, but trying to fool us into thinking that everything in the Labour garden is rosy insults everyone.
Yours sincerely,
A.Tory

This came to me, but I think its for you Letters.
Dear A. Tory.
I have been in the Labour Garden with Gordon all day. It is very very rosy.
The poison ivy has indeed been more of a trouble this year, as has the appearance of some Anti Brown Weed.
Some 55 Anti Brownweeds have been gathering over the weekend, and they can poison many other good and healthy plants, and even livestock.
[from the gardeners handbook]
Cutting the stem and reduces seed production but does not destroy the plant.
the plants should be removed and burnt.
If rosettes are first noticed in April/May then first application of herbicide should be made in October.
So until October , Gordon will remain mainly pottering very quietly in the shed,until we can see if the cutting back of the appearances of AntiBrownweed has worked.
If there is no noticeable improvement then expect some serious scorched earth, poisionous chemicals and a very frosty winter.
Thanks Bill. A frosty winter will certainly be on the cards, and we can expect to see some sharp downfalls in the autumn if things continue the way they are.
