The Liebour website is basking in the glory of No Mandate Brown’s first Queen’s Speech, most of which – naturally – only applies to England.  In fact, you would be forgiven for mistaking it as a Liebour thing rather than something that he was being paid to do by the taxpayer (however unwillingly).

Anyway, Liebour’s website is asking for questions for various ministers that might be asked on Liebour’s YouTube channel.  I don’t think mine are going to get asked …

This was to Ed Balls, Alan Johnson and Yvette Cooper respectively:

As [education/health/housing] is a devolved issue in Gordon Brown’s constituency, his constituents didn’t give him a mandate on [education/health/housing] at the last election.  Do you think that it is right that Gordon Brown can decide on [education/health/housing] policy that only affects England when English voters don’t have an opportunity to pass judgement on his policies through the ballot box? 

And this to Harriet Harman:

Do you think that the gratuitous use of the words “Britain” and “British” will distract from the fact that most of Gordon Brown’s policies only apply to England and not in Scotland where he was elected?

What do you reckon my chances are of getting an answer?

There is much speculation on a general election date with strong evidence that it’s going ot be delcared soon.

However, I have a big problem with the system.  Why is it up to the One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan to decide when to hold an election?  Why should the ruling party dictate when an election is held?  The system gives the party in power an unfair advantage over the opposition.

If the Electoral Commission could be made even remotely unbiased then they should be the ones to decide when to hold an election, either at the end of the maximum term or when petitioned by an opposition party.

Yet another Liebour MP has announced his forthcoming resignation.

John Reid, the Scottish former Home Secretary of England, has announced that he will resign at the next election along with Fatty Prescott.  Traitor Bliar has, of course, already disappeared into obscurity after finally doing the right thing and resigning.

The question is, why?  Why are these senior politicians giving up a job worth hundreds of thousands of pounds per year?  Is it because they can’t get on with No Mandate Brown or are they jumping ship before the SS Liebour sinks?

A Sunday Times poll has come to the shocking conclusion that Gordon Brown is not fit to be Prime Minister.

What a startling revelation.

In the poll, over half of people who responded felt that the Tartan Taxman was unfit to be Prime Minister with less than 30% thinking he would do a good job.

In other news, scientists have discovered that the earth is not flat and the sun doesn’t orbit the planet.

I’d just like to say thank you to Lord Levy and the Metropolitan Police for the lovely birthday present I had this morning when I turned on BBC1.

I am referring, of course, to the arrest of King Tony’s mate Lord Levy in the cash for peerages investigation.

Lord Levy – whose job with the Labour Party is to attract big donations – has already been arrested and interviewed over his involvement in the major Labour donors who were (allegedly) offered peerages in return for their donations.  This time he’s been arrested for (allegedly) perverting the course of justice in relation to the cash for peerages investigation.

The police are getting closer to Bliar every time they arrest somebody.  The only question now is whether he will become the first serving prime minister to be charged or if he’ll resign first.

Is it actually possible for every Labour Home Secretary since 1997 to have been utterly incompetent or is there some gipsy curse on the Home Office?

Jack Straw was responsible for some decidedly illiberal laws and allowing General Pinochet to return to Chile without standing trial for human rights abuses and was expected to be demoted in 2001 but was instead rewarded for his incompetence with a sideways move to the Foreign Office.

David Blunkett talked about curbing immigration and cracking down on bogus asylum seekers in public but in reality the Home Office was waving through thousands of asylum claims with only basic checks carried out on their claims.  He resigned after interfering in the visa application of his girlfriend’s nanny to speed the process up.

Charles Clarke, aka the Sweaty Baboon, was utterly, utterly incompetent and deeply unpopular.  He was responsible for pushing through the ID Cards legislation, for trying to merge English police forces and for trying to give the state the power to detain people without charge for 3 months wiping out one of the main protections afforded to citizens by the Magna Carta.  He was eventually sacked for losing prisoners and terrorist suspects.

The current Home Secretary, Scottish MP John Reid, has presided over endless Home Office scandals – inmates walking out of open prisons, prisons full to overflowing, rapists spared prison because there’s no room, foreign criminals walking the streets.  The latest scandal to hit the Home Office is the announcement that 147 convicted drug traffickers who were given travel banning orders never had the orders enforced leaving them free to go about their business.

Surely even Labour can’t produce a succession of incompetent ministers for the Home Office over a period of 10 years.

The unelected Scottish Lord Chancellor of England, Charlie Falconer, is backing Gordon Brown for Prime Minister.

So far only two MP’s have been mooted as replacements from Bliar – Gordon Brown and John Reid, both of which are Scots and have constituencies in Scotland.

Dear Santa,

Thank you for the belated gift.  The news that Labour has lost so many members in the last few years that it averages out at one member every 20 minutes was fantastic.  I’ve obviously been a very good boy this year.
