Gordon Brown will live to regret his decision to put off the election. As I blogged on Thursday "I am torn between a) wanting Gordon Brown to hold an election so this country has a chance to be rid of him and his corrupt party and b)wanting him to stay on so as guarantee that I can watch him suffer as the economic pigeons come home to roost over the coming months. As house prices drop, jobs disappear and the mood in the country turns first depressed and then angry, one of the few pleasures left to the common man and woman in this country will be to watch Gordon Brown disintegrate even more than he has in the past few weeks. This economic genius, this "Great Clunking Fist", this "control freak", this man who is "psychologically flawed", this man who rules with "Stalinist ruthlessness" will have to face up to his failings and heaven only knows there are many of them. I doubt that even the BBC will be able to protect him from the righteous anger that will fall upon him; no doubt they will transfer their loyalty to David Miliband or some other fresh faced saviour of the New New Labour Party.
As I have said before, 2007 is the election to lose just like 1992 was.
"So what's it gonna be Gordon, yes or no?"
What's that? - "Let me sleep on it and I'll give you an answer in the morning".
OK Gordon, sweet dreams..."
Not so sweet those dreams were they Gordon? Had a few bad nights sleep did you, tossing and turning all night; horrible, scary dreams were they? Those private opinion polls of Deborah Mattinson must have been really bad. Poor, poor Gordon, did you plan a fight back? Did you plot how you and your brave New Labour friends, like Blinky and Darling, can attack those nasty Conservative toffs? Did you make a few calls to your friends in the BBC to make that sure they reported your decision as bravery, not cowardice? Did that make you feel better? Do you think you might live to regret this decision?
Knowing that Gordon Brown will have to live with the fruits of his incompetence, all the time wondering if he might have won an early election, what a lovely feeling. Add the England victory over Australia in the World Cup rugby and you have a very very happy Mr and Mrs NotaSheep.

And the BBC reports I watched spent more time implying that the tories were silently relived than Brown has just orchestrated a scandalous spin operation on this country which he lost.
The one thing we can take from this is that Brown is in no way the master of spin that Blair was and has so much arrogance that he will do this again and again and eventually will have the man in the street demanding his removal.
