A Bad Week For Brown. Again.

Wonderful understatement:

Cabinet minister Lord Mandelson said it was "turning into a bit of a week". He denied the PM had lost his authority.

Yes, it is a bit of a week for old Gordo. But when the ruddy fuck was it last a good week for Gordo? He lunges from calamity to calamity, like a cross between Jonah and Job. The last time he really had a good week was when he won the Labour leadership election - a contest that, lest we forget, offered no opposition for him (yet he still failed to win all the votes).

But let's not talk about timing or bad luck. Let's not talk about political incompetence either - although Gordon is a political idiot of the very highest order. No, this week his problems are all about his lack of that fabled moral compass. He's fucked himself by treating Gurkhas badly. He's fucked himself by proposing a change to the expenses system that reduces transparency and instead rewards people for turning up to their job. He's fucked himself because he didn't have the basic ethics to realise that both positions he adopted, and both policies he's getting his arse kicked on, were morally wrong.

I've no sympathy for Gordon, but that shoudn't be news for anyone. However, his allowance proposal and his stance on Gurkhas further illustrate what a terrible, terrible little man he is.
