clare short now reckons bliar should resign as p.m. for an elegant succession by gordon brown.



a few small points:

1. short's a spent force in british politics. she should have resigned before the iraqi war - she may have stopped bliar killing so many iraqis had she done so. no-one gives a fuck what she says apart from a couple of her mates in the press;


2. george monbiot has an excellent article in the guardian today debunking short's image as a rebel and showing her for the cruel, vicious, capitalist little pig she is. she cares nothing for ordinary people. she's as much a corporatist fascist bastard as bliar is;


3. who the fuck would want gordon fucking brown as p.m? he's a boring little twat without an original idea in his head. his idea of labour economics is to mimic what the tories did for so many years. now he's beginning to do something different, the economy's getting as shaky as fuck and we're headed for a recession. should he really be rewarded by being made p.m?

if blair resigns or is sacked by the party as a result of short's attacks, i'll eat all three of my crash helmets, my road boots, my motor-cross boots and both my fucking motorbikes - without any mayonnaise.

update : robin cook has a go at short in this article in the independent.
