Labour: A Second Look

In all the excitement of the utterly predictable news that Gordon Brown is a bully, I forgot to comment on the "launch" of Labour's General Election messages. Actually, to say it is a launch of messages is probably overdoing it a bit. "Lacklustre mumbling about stuff" is probably more accurate.

But here it is, for anyone who is interested:
Gordon Brown has urged voters to take a "second look" at Labour as he unveiled his election campaign themes.
Unfortunately, when you have been in power for well over a decade, what you tend to find is that people have given you a second look. And a third one. And a fourth one. And so on. In fact, they are sick to bloody death of you. So if you election campaign is based on people taking a second look at you, then you're going to fall at the first hurdle. Because, quite simply, no-one is going to give a fuck about what you're saying.

Hell, this launch was so shit that it even makes the idiotic English Democrats' campaign launch look positively spectacular.

  1. I'm not so sure this should have been Brown's launch slogan. If you take a second look, you might begin to realise how bad Liebor have been.

    I think it should have been "ignore the past, look to the future!"

    Who cares anyway? Neither Liebor or the Toffs, I mean Torries, are going to be good for the country. Basically same policies different leader.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
