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.

Witness the new Mayor of Doncaster getting owned here.* Proof positive that it is worth doing some basic research before you go on the radio to defend a manifesto you never thought you would have to implement...
