Gordon Brown
We Are Now Officially A Con-Dem Nation
12 May 2010
Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown made a very dignified exit from No 10 Downing Street last night as it came apparent that David Cameron's Conservatives were about to enter into a hard coalition with Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats. Gordon Brown spoke passionately from the heart and conceded that he had failed to engage the nation during their Election Campaign and that he had his frailties.
To quote from an Ancient Chinese General "If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected".

Sky TV hosted the debate moderated by the excellent Adam Boulton and seemed to be a much more professional production. It focused on Foreign affairs and then more general issues. Gordon Brown told us that if it was all based on style with no substance then we must count him out.

I have been out leafleting for Charlotte Atkins in the highly marginal Staffordshire Moorlands seat and managed to have a chat with her after I have finished my perambulations around the Haregate Estate.
The Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Stoke Central has welcomed the official announcement of the May 6th General Election. Commenting on the announcement Norsheen Bhatti, said: [quote]“Labour has let down local people in Stoke Central, they have been ignored and abandoned for far too long.
Amidst all the goings on of the last few days, all the accusations of Institutionalised Bullying, the latest being today - this time the victim Chancellor Alistair Darling Reports are reaching Pits n Pots HQ that three key Labour members in the Stoke Central CLP are to take legal action against their Party on discriminatory grounds.
I know it may seem that I have 'got it in for' the Labour Party of late. I haven't - honest. But, if there is a ass constantly paraded in front of you, there is always the temptation to kick it! The news that our Prime Minister may not be the teddy bear that Lord Mandelson or John Prescott would have us believe, has sparked a huge inquiry over whether there is, or has been, bullying within 10 Downing Street.
