Seems Brown is finally packing his bags. Believe it when I the locks are changed, but my word, it is nice to have something positive out of the shite of the last few days. Still not convinced much will change, but at least the scorched earth policy Brown seems to have operated, either intentionally or by accident, may be reduced.
Cameron, your time is now. Step up and prove us all wrong. Prove you have the stones to slash public spending. Prove you really will tear up the quangos. Prove there is some spine lurking there somewhere.

"The guy can't even resign properly"
Unbelievable. Being as I am fairly busy in the evenings with a new baby, I didn't have the chance to watch or read any news last night. I did see something about Brown resigning that warmed my heart, but it was all too hectic to I thought I'd read it at my leisure at work.
So here I am. First warning sign is the pound below 1.48 against the USD. What's going on, I wondered? And then I opened my Google Reader. Fuck me, what a shitstorm this is! The egregiously unpleasant, power-obsessed fabian turd has actually managed to do the worst possible thing for the country, with a bizarre half resignation. And the frigging spineless, unfit for purpose Lib Dims are seriously getting into bed with Labour?
I said this a couple of days ago, and I'll say it again. What exactly do these fuckers have to do in order to stop people voting for them and working with them? Do Labour actually not only need to shit on the carpet of every voter in the country, but also the carpet of every single Lib Dim MP as well, just to make doubly sure that people get it?
I'm actually slightly despondent this morning about it all. I thought the result might be the death of British politics, but I was wrong. This is. The political classes are so out of touch with anything that, while the country's economy is melting down under a colossal debt mountain, they are stamping their feet about reforming the electoral system. It's just awful.
As the Clown said:
Watch the markets. This isn't going to be ugly.
This is going to be Greek.
We will be cap in hand to the IMF, it'll be the late 70s all over again, before we see the back of Brown. Every politician (and I do mean every single one), every Labour voter, every pathetic journalist incapable of doing any work, understanding economics or searching out the truth, hang your head in shame. The UK is going down the toilet, and it is your fault.

The public wants what the public gets
Apologies in advance for swearing and general rage, not impressed.
What a monumental failure on the part of everyone, and I do mean everyone. Let's look at the list of failures shall we:
1. The British Public. 235 Labour seats at the last count. Ed Balls still has his seat. Ed fucking Balls. Hazel Christing Blears as well. What do these people have to do, actually come round to each voter's house and shit on their carpet before these pig-ignorant tools decide to vote for someone else? Seriously, you idiots in those constituencies, enjoy these devil children looking after your area. And by the way, if Labour somehow wangle their way into a minority coalition, enjoy that too. That's on you. When they destroy the country and the UK goes begging to the IMF, remember that you voted for that.
2. CMD. I know that Labour have gerrymandered the boundaries, bought a load of votes with benefits etc. but seriously. You couldn't beat Gordon Brown? You useless, spineless jellyfish.
3. Cleggmania and the Lib Dems. Don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype.
4. The BBC. If there is one area of sympathy I have for the Tories, it's this. When the major state broadcaster turns against you for 20 years, and when many people believe that this broadcaster is impartial, it's hard to come back from that. So BBC, you can have a piece of this as well. I hope whoever does get in takes your licence fee away so all your Guardianista idiots can try the real world for a change.
5. I could go on and on, but I won't. Enough bile for a Friday.
Notice who I have left off the list? Labour and Brown. Gotta say credit to them, they really didn't underestimate the public. Hey fuckhead, I just spent 13 years ruining your country and saddling you and your children with ludicrous amounts of debt. Hey look, a squirrel. What was I saying? Oh nothing, just Vote Labour, here's a lollipop made of shit. Yeah, you like that, don't you. That's right you do.
Sorry Charlotte, I really do agree with everything you said here, but sometimes it's just too much.

Cameron misses the point
In an interview with the Times today, CMD misses the point horribly with the following statement:
"We need to win a whole series of arguments about the problems of a hung Parliament".
Wrong.
You need to win the election by explaining to people why they should vote for the Conservatives.
You need to win a whole series of arguments about why the Conservatives should lead this country.
You need to win a whole series of arguments about why we can expect anything different from you.
You need to appeal to people who are thinking "stuff this, I'll vote BNP/UKIP/LPUK/Green/Monster Raving 'cos the big three all look the same to me"*.
The argument can't just be "vote for me, otherwise we'll have a hung parliament and that's no good."
The lack of ambition is palpable, and a huge disappointment.
*Not lumping together or dismissing these parties, or commenting on them per se. Just illustrating my point that a lot of disillusioned people may well vote elsewhere than the big three not because they want a Hung Parliament, but because they want something else. This is the point that escapes Cameron (and the other two).
