The One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan has abused the honours system again to appoint another unelected minister to his cabinet of all the talentless.
Mervyn Davies, the Chairman of the Standard Chartered Bank, will be given a peerage so that he can join the British government without the inconvenience of having to get elected. Davies will join Paul Myners, who was also given a peerage so he could be appointed to the cabinet without being elected, in the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) where he will be serving under Peter Mandelson who was also given a peerage so he could join the British government without having to get elected.
Setting aside, for a moment, the fact that El Gordo – supposedly a socialist and diametrically opposed to the class system – is abusing the honours system to circumvent the democratic process, what it does tell us is that even El Gordo has no faith in his own MPs to weather the economic storm he was instrumental in creating which is why he’s having to cheat the system and bring in unelected outsiders. Mandelson’s appointment shows just how inadequate the talent inside Liebour’s own ranks is – bringing back a failed communist politician who’s had to twice resign from government because of dodgy financial dealings smacks of desperation.

Rejoice in them hanging themselves!
They are OUT by landslide.
Yeah but then we get Camoron and his party of anti-English British nationalists instead. Seeing the back of Liebour is a reason for rejoicing, it’s just a shame that it’ll be more a case of “the king is dead, long live the king” than the breath of fresh air we need.
quite.
When was the last time you heard Brown talking about socialism? He’s been licking the arse of the super-rich for the last decade and hasn’t the bollocks to nationalise the banks so that lending to business can continue at reasonable rates in case this comes over as socialistic – even though it’d be the one thing that would save British capitalism from a long period of crisis.
More to the point, when was the last time Brown mentioned democracy? At least we can oust MPs – the lords are getting jobs for life writing the laws we must obey. Some democracy!
