Doon With Broon?

[lupestripe]

Am I the only one to think that after potential explosions in London, actual explosions in Glasgow, serious flooding in two parts of the country and now foot and mouth in Surrey, that some divine presence is telling us that they don't like Gordon Brown being Prime Minister?

I mean what's going to happen next? A plague of locusts in Tring? The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse running in the 2.30 at Chepstow? It doesn't bear thinking about.

I'll vote on the river of blood option :)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Well it is red like the Labour Party so I suppose that's one thing to be happy about but aren't you confusing the river of blood option with the current state in Iraq?

[salith.livejournal.com]

Well there's not really that much colour change in that river, but you never know...

*sigh* all somewhat of a mess really - difficult to know how Brown can proceed on that one.

[shep-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Could be worse. Phony Bliar could take over again :O

I know it's early days but it does look like Brown is trying to undo some of Blair's "legacy" already, reneging on supercasinos being the main U-turn so far.

I'd rather not have Brown as PM (or indeed 'New Labour' as the ruling party), but he at least doesn't make me go boil with rage when I see his face or hear his voice like Bliar. I still find it ironic that the latter is now a Middle East peace envoy...

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

That was one thing I never got either - Blair is not exactly the most popular man in the Middle East so making him a peace envoy is surely only going to inflame the situation? It's like making Harold Shipman the matron of the local old people's home it defies such logic.

As for your other point I have no allegiance to any political party myself, they're all as bad as each other. To be honest I'm a typical example of the disillusioned youth when it comes to politics at the moment.

I'm now a 'none of the above' voter in general elections. Events since May 1997 have seen to that...

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Me too generally. I'm all for a "None of the above" category on the ballot paper as I think registering your feelings in an election is important. There's no political party that inspires me at the moment which is worrying as my views don't fit into the archetypal "right" or "left" wing categories. I think certain ideas from the moderate sections of both the right and the left are good ones.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse running in the 2.30 at Chepstow?

More likely to get canceled then arrive on time...

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Cancelled due to flooding. The wrong kind of water on the line. I can see it now.

Meh, Brown was better than Blair. I wonder if though, flipside of the coin, these events are like a TEST to see if Broon is worthy of the PM crown?

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It's hard to say that Brown is better than Blair as he's only been in the job a month, remmeber the euphoria in 1997 when Tony Blair first swept to power? Having said that I think Brown's doing as well as he can under the circumstances at present.

You do have a point though - within the first few months of Blair's reign there was the tragic death of Princess Diana - so I can see where you're coming from.
