"So it looks as though Gordon Brown, maybe advised by the vile duo of Mandelson and Campbell, has weighed up his fear of fighting an early election (indeed any election) with the knowledge that in two months time the true extent of the economic crisis that his policies have wrought upon the country will become too clear to too many for him to win a May election. Thus I am afraid we have to look forward to a month or so of lies and spin from the Labour party, and its willing allies in the BBC, in what will be the most vicious and spiteful election campaign ever in the UK. It is not going to be a pretty campaign; the Labour party is a wounded beast that will spit venom, spread smears, lie and in certain cases cheat their way to the election date."It looks as though last week's piece is relevant once more; I wonder if I will have to post something like this again come Monday:
"It looks as though the Great Bottler has bottled it again... Poor Gordon, he thought about an early election but in the end his true bottling nature won out and he's put off making a decision. With decisiveness like this it's a wonder he can even get dressed in the morning."
Maybe the extra wrinkle this time is the Alistair Darling factor, maybe Gordon Brown feels that he cannot be trusted to say what Gordon Brown wants him to say in any Budget presentation. Maybe the revised economic figures for 2009 Q4 are even worse than we thought, maybe +0.1% up becomes not 0% but -0.2%. What if Gordon Brown really is that scared of the Chilcot Inquiry that he cabbot face it. What if there are more revelations due over the weekend about bullying.
