David Miliband Is Foreign Secretary. Oh Christ.

What the frig fuck is it with Nu Labour and their Foreign Secretary? Do they really look at the leading lights of their party and decide to give the role to the least capable, least charismatic option?

I mean look at those who have held the post recently. The ginger weasel who, in retrospect, was more interested in his affair with his secretary rather than foreign affairs. He was replaced by the Demon Headmaster, a bumbling buffoon who helped with the lurch into an illegal war. And then we had Margaret Beckett - a woman who looks, speaks and acts like she slept in a hedge after a gin bender. But just when you thought things couldn't get any worse that total geek Miliband gets the gig.

But then again, is he really Foreign Secretary? Blair has been made the Middle East Envoy for the US, UN, EU and Russia. Or, I rather suspect, Foreign Secretary for the US, UN, EU and Russia. Miliband has been made Foreign Secretary for the parts of the world we either can't do anything with, or don't care about. Miliband being made Foreign Secretary is less concerning than it should be as Blair's new role has made the position a complete irrelevance.
