Gordon Brown: Failure

As reported by the BBC, a full on plethora of attacks on our beleagured, incompetent and frustratingly crap Prime Minister. From David Cameron:

"Do you have any idea what a pathetic figure you cut today? You are making these changes because you thought you would lose the vote."

And:

Tory chief David Cameron accused (Brown) of "weakness, dithering and indecision".

Oh, and this as well:

"Isn't it the case that the Labour Party have finally worked out that they have a loser, not a leader?"

Even Calamity Clegg is getting in on the action – that’s how bad things are for Gordo. He's being bitch slapped by a baby-faced Lib Dem:

“Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg called Mr Brown "increasingly pointless".”

When a Lib Dem calls you pointless, it is probably time to give up the game, retire with what little grace you have left, and then ride off into the sunset to write your memoirs.

Given the levels of vitriol directed at Gordo from all quarters, one might be tempted to feel some pity for him. I don’t. This mess is completely of his own making. He set himself up to be the champion of the poor, then royally shafted the poor the very second it became politically expedient to do so. And as soon as the political wind changed, he u-turned quicker than… than… well, something that u-turns really quickly.

In fact, the concession that saved Brown’s possession of No.10 – or at least postponed the inevitable, humiliating resignation – was not so much a U-turn as Brown dropping his pants and screaming to Frank Field “take me, Frankie! Take me!” It shows Brown to be spineless, weak, cowardly, pathetic and utterly undeserving of the high office he has somehow obtained. Back in the day, Have I Got News For You used to put a tub of lard in place of Roy Hattersley. These days the Labour party could do the same for Brown. Except instead of a tub of lard they could have a lump of dog crap – fetid, unpleasant, pointless and something people try to avoid.

Everything that has happened to Gordon Brown since the non-election has been a catastrophe. He has failed consistently as each new hurdle hurtles towards him. He is like the crap boxer, dithering around the ring, waiting defencelessly for the knock-out blow. He truly is the dead man walking; the game is up, and I think everyone knows it.

And as his dismal time as Prime Minister crawls toward an ignoble end, you can anticipate what the history books will say about Gordo: a complete, total and abject failure.
