The Ranting Penguin sums it up rather well… “What a tragedy for My Lord Myners, to fall so spectacularly from grace so fucking quickly after his elevation to the peerage so he could serve in Gordon’s Government of the Talent Free” .It would seem that Lord Myners may not be fit for purpose and according to Sir Tom McKillop, former RBS Chairman, he did know about Fred The Shred”s massive pension. Conservative MP Michael Fallon, a member of the committee, said that Lord Myners had misled Parliament and should resign.
President Obama has arrived in our sceptred isle on Airforce One and two women prattled on for what seemed hours about absolutely nothing as far as I could hear on the BBC’s pointless live coverage. Obama shook hands with Alistair Darling and then jumped on a US helicopter to be transported to the US Ambassador’s residence. There is no record of whether he asked Chancellor Darling if he knew if Jacqui Smith’s husband had an orange penis. BBC hyperventilators, it is believed, think not.
Chase me, ladies, I’m in the cavalry reports: Fritzl’s Approval Ratings Fall Below Brown’s
“The approval ratings of Austrian rapist Josef Fritzl have fallen below Gordon Brown’s according to a Daily Mirror YouGov poll published today which suggests that Brown would win a 20-seat majority at the next election if the Conservative Party were led by Fritzl. Just over 7% of those polled said they were satisfied with the prime minister’s performance, compared to 3% for Fritzl, and 11% for burglars. Brown must hold an election by June 2010 or declare himself Lord Protector.”
Douglas Carswell MP does his best to keep the flag fl;ying by writing on his blog:
Another reason MPs are resented
There’d be much less resentment over MP perks if they were all brilliant at representing the country.
Gordon Brown, out of the blue,said: “Stop cash for MP’s second homes’… finally aware, unsually for our prime 
minister, of mounting public irritation with troughing MPs. It would seem that we can’t even hold a party at the House without police having to be involved. The Independent reports : “Police used CS spray to break up a scuffle in the Houses of Parliament last night, arresting a man who was a guest at a drinks reception hosted by Conservative Party chairman Eric Pickles.” The hunt is on from the bloggers and the journos for the ‘miscreants’.
And, just to show that we are really on top of things in Britain we are even letting that absurd posturing miniature Frenchman, President Sarkozy, into the country – even after he said that that ‘Anglo-saxons’ are to blame for Le Crunch-Credit. This may well be true but we don’t need to take any lessons from The Frenchies
about anything – well, apart from rugby, perhaps wine making, cooking, film making, literature – and all the good things in life.
In the preceding paragraph I am simply following in a fine tradition perfected by Goebbels (See comment on Boris article) and now used by Boris Johnson to great effect… of appearing to say one thing, yet saying another….. although Boris does it with rather more style and elan.
And finally…before I nip off to see if the Police have started spraying CS gas about or if any protesters have started arriving in tanks – do visit Obnoxio The Clown in the morning with your coffee… today he is direct and to the point with his Send Your MP a couple of photos campaign: “Print them off, stick them in an envelope and send them to your MP. Maybe the fuckers will get the hint this time.”
Oh… and, rather bizarrely, my brother Charon QC has taken to doing imaginary podcasts with Gordon Brown.
