No 10 email fiasco

Thankfully I was away for a week while this was going on, but now find myself curious to know exactly who emailed what about whom to whom. Funnily enough, this is the one aspect I can't glean from the news media (useful bunch) - though I did gather something about someone's wife. Or something.

On a wider note, I was leafing through the Torygraph in the dentist's yesterday (true) and even they, though of the opinion that the Labour Govt has had it, can't find much positive to say about a Conservative future.

At least they would not be as self-satisfied as that idiotic Mr. Brown. Never was a British leader's own self-assessment requiring a greater addition of meekness than that of Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown is not only an idiot, but probably the least savoury man - judging by the company he keeps - to have ever been PM in UK. It is most unfortunate that a man this country would never had been collectively mad enough to choose as PM [but who holds office through a constitutional quirk] should hold in his hands the power to ruin the country for decades. The fact that is doing exactly this with so little opposition is not something that builds confidence in the Tory leadership either ...

The most odious man in current British politics ...

I think that Gordon Brown should have chosen his words more carefully. The double use of responsibility/responsible, as you have pointed out, is laughable. It basically shows that Brown really doesn't care what people think.

He has his grubby little paw-prints over several major disasters of the past 12 years and IMHO, he really doesn't give a sh*t.

Looks like his style is rubbing off on his side-kicks including Ms Smith.

On the really depressing side of things, I don't see anything truely inspiring/encouraging elswhere in Labour or in any of the opposition parties.

Anybody got any bright ideas ?

With so many to choose from ... surely not.

For example: where do you place Mr. Mendelson?

Mandy is a monkey not the organ grinder.

I am talking about the top people.

I do believe that the BNP counts as a political party and presumably its leaders count as part of UK politics, but they are not in the position to wreck things like Mr. Brown, for which fact praise be ...

I would say Mr.Brown is the biggest chancer we have had the misfortune to have as PM since the office was invented, and proibably the most useless national leader since the some of those dreadful Kings of the Middle Ages ... King John for example ...

Those old Kings were not elected either ...

At least John Major [who also came along as PM, unelected] had the guts to go to the country, fight an election, and win.

Mr. Brown knows that even though the Tories appear a load of wet flatulence, the Labour Party would become a rump at any election now, but being the poisonous power hungry reptile that he is, he will hang on till the last moment and all the while carry on wrecking the economy with mad policies like trying to borrow the way out of a debt the crisis.

We shall see! ATB from George

Sorry guys, cannot agree here. One flunky writes some ill-considered emails and "resigns"; end of story, really.

The Tories are doing themselves no favours at all by this pisspoor display of schadenfreude. No point in polemic over trivia; what will you do for *real* issues?

Thank you for the clarification - I take it you're not a fan.

I worry that Mr. Mandelson does have too much power and I detest the system which grants him such privileges when the voting public has made it plain it does not want him.

I can't stand Mr. Brown either ... the sooner gone the better, but: I had no respect for Mr. Blair either (and even less now) so I have a major problem when it comes to politics.

Mike, I think time will tell that this is just the tip of Brown's poisonous culture.

The signs were there in his early days as chancellor and more so when he was plotting to oust Blair.

His silence on Iraq throughout Blair's term indicated an unhealthy slyness and I can't imagine Ms Smith has acted without his encouragement towards Damien Green.

As I say, I think we are only witnessing the tip of the problem.

Saw Boring Frown on the telly earlier jumping on Obama's coat tails again with the push for green cars. He was going on about digital technology being the "new industrial revolution" and how it was now the "technology of the future". Wow! He's just SO cutting edge, don't you think?
