Stalking Horse

Via Guido, I see that Charles Clarke may be planning a stalking horse challenge against Gordon Brown after May 1st. Well, if it does happen, at least you won’t be able to claim that it is a beauty contest.

Baboomtish! I thank you!

Anyway, Charles Clarke as PM doesn’t gear thinking about. In fact, he is probably one of the few people less capable of being PM than Brown. Ignoring the cosmetic problems - although, Lord knows, Clarke does look like an Orang-utan with a skin condition who has been brutally shaved (by a cack handed zoo keeper) and is not much pleased by it – Clarke really is a waste of (really quite a lot of) space. I mean, he was binned by Tony Blair – and Blair didn’t even sack that tub of lard Prescott. You had to be uber shit to be binned by Blair. In fact, Clarke was so bad that even John “Rent-A –Thug” Reid appeared to be a better option. Clarke was not so much shite as Home Secretary, as the absolute definition of shite. The last thing we need in this country is a PM who makes Brown look capable.

That said, the chances of Clarke actually becoming PM are minimal. A "stalking horse challenge" is similar to a "waste of time challenge", since the person doing it will never become PM. So I’d support Clarke, if he chooses to run. Mainly because by doing so he would further embarrass and humiliate the PM, and make the wonderful day when Brown and this whole scabby Nu Labour abortion of the government are consigned to the dustbin of history.
