The Dark Lord Has Noticed You

Poor poor little Milliband .He is a think-tanker rather than an executive breed of politician. He has never shown much understanding of how to make an organization deliver his ideas. As schools minister he was obsessed with targets and testing, then said he was against them. As environment minister he was for personal carbon credits but did nothing about them. At local government he proclaimed the new localism and "double devolution", and did nothing but make speeches. At the Foreign Office he has followed Whitehall's line of least resistance, supporting America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has constructed a career on writing trite little essays and now dark arts Brown has decided to snuff him out

In what must be interpreted as a move against Milliband he has chopped away his legs as a potential Blairite adversary by including his old Blairite henchman Murphy, in the cabinet. This will make it very difficult f or Milliband to claim ,as his allies want him to, that only he can sell the electorate Labour with the old trick of pretending they have changed .Useless PM Brown may be but at in-fighting he is still a nasty trader in low blows

England is sick of champagne 'socialists' like millionaire Miliband. What a phoney.

Have you noticed how like Brown Miliblob is becoming? The creepy and obsessive/compulsive manner gestures.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7571438.stm

For a man who has just had a holiday, he doesn't look at all unwell, he's positively skeletal.

Looks as though Brown's warnings have scared the daylights out of him.

No way can this become our prime minister.

Woops, I meant:

The creepy and obsessive/compulsive manner and gestures.

Obsessive gestures:

1. Brownite prayer - steepling - movements.

Means the same as 'I don't know what I'm doing here. God help me'.

2. I'm the boss/ Big Daddy double finger shake coupled with self deprecating bowed head and neck.

He's playing the role of (his?) domineering father and supplicant child simultaneously Means: I'm fragmenting, don't know what I'm doing/saying - Daddy help me!

3 Spits 'unity' in a way that suggests conflict

4. Spider fingers (he uses a lot) when he says "political and practical support needs to be offered to Georgia" and "relationship between NATO and Georgia"

Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly - Miliblob's the fly trying to be the spider :)

5. "What you're seeing today is the basis of taking forward that commitment"

Hands shake and form a brake while Miliblob's lower teeth make the 'terrified chimpanzee' sign.

All in all, a very weak and shifty performance and about as close to that of a mature statesman's as that prepubescent wisp of bum fluff on Miliblob's upper lip.

When is Brown going to get a grown up to do FO job?

Good Lord Flo I seriously hope I never offend you I do belive you are nastierrt about the Scots pain than I am.
In fact I did not like the quotes from Cameron calling Clegg a joke and Brown a liar, they were actually from ages ago and in a GQ thing but I thought no , thats unnecessarry , bloggers can do that
