Brown's "Engagement" Agenda
Jackie Ashley has a gushing interview with Gordon in the Guardian this morning where we learn that he really loves being called Prime Minister* and that
"Brown believes the days of political parties as 'small organisations of people who are accused of talking to themselves' are over. In future, constituency parties will become local hubs, building links with other networks and groups, and using new technology to reach out way beyond their usual supporters... There are so many different forms of communication - writing, phoning, the internet - at the moment we're not doing enough to keep people informed and to show people that when they have a view, we're prepared to listen to them."
Over at GordonBrown.Org, free from civil service restrictions, and even the old clunking party bureaucracy, he shows us the actual proof of the sincerity of his internet "engagement agenda".
How is he doing at keeping people informed about his exciting campaign-hub-network-thingy for Britain? Well their feeble copy of the original Where's Gordon?™ has only 4 reports of his whereabouts in 20 days, the original managed daily updates. The thousands of votes for a discussion on the NHS are ignored, there is no discussion. The whole site is as dead as wooden rocking horse, it is an ex-listening, ex-campaigning website. His whole "engaging online" guff is all bullshit, he doesn't need to win votes so the whole need to engage is just tiresome. Guido knows WebCameron and WebGordon is no WebCameron.
Gordon now has no need to listen, no need to engage, no need to win a mandate from his party or the wider electorate. He will assume power and we will just have to lump it.

*In under a month the preciousss will be his, the sun will be darkened across the land and the English will be cursed with a new Scottish tyranny. Probably.

Tumbleweeds roll in the streets, small furry creatures curl up and die, and a baleful red glow issues forth from Mordor.
Obviously, "Won't get fooled again" is completely lost on lefties.
....and thr prezza/blur junkets keep rolling on..
Military coup now.
"One Eye to rule them all, One Eye to find them, One Eye to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."
Once Gordon has his precioussss, the dark shadow will surely fall upon us all. Who will save us now?
Is that you Letwin?
Gordo may have a surprise in store for us . He could appoint keith vaz deputy leader / deputy pm / deputy kommisar , cut out the middle man and just opt for the straight forward asian party funding model, thus obviating the need for all this tiresome listening malarky.
HM Queen could have saved us, but as she has sat and watched the destruction of Britain from the sidelines for the last ten years and done nothing, I don't hold out much hope there.
I used to be pro-Monarchy but now it is clear that they are utterly useless.
Perhaps even more tellingly than the map, the Team Gordon blog is... Oona.
What a team.
Won't be long now ,when we have to bow to our new one eyed god ,and gets his new suss law sorted out ,I think we should start worrying when oneeye buys Butlins holiday camps ,just as rest centres you understand.
Verily the ancient texts doth relate that a Saviour will appear out of the mists of Notting Hill, and his name shall be called Dave, and he will be of the clan of Cameron.
"The whole site is as dead as wooden rocking horse".
Come on Guido, we know the policies are still in their infancy. In nappies, shall we say?
I understand that Keith Vaz is being groomed for the position of "Reich Protector of England and Leicester" But his nickname will be "The hangman of Millbank"
There is an ongoing long goodbye at them moment but how we will be bored to tears by Gordon's long long goodbye.
You're just another warmongering bastard Gordon! Hopefully the voters in your constituency will do what's right and vote tactically and do for you!
Operation Anthropoid anyone?
Guido,
check this out:

Broon's hissy fit - worth publishing the video from the BBC, I reckon
Military coup is tempting, David 11:01, but what if you get a Mike Jackson in charge? Or that arselicker Guthrie who was all over NuLabour like a cheap suit and has now charmed his way onto the Cameron defence expert team. Or those utterly useless naval cretins who ordered their boarding parties to surrender to the Persians and then fucked up the story-selling?
Oh and BTW Guido -
away and fuck yerself with yer "Scottish Tyranny" pish.
Gordon is as much Scottish as you are into Tim Ireland.
Us jocks hate Broon & Blair as well, thats why we voted SNP. At least one country in the so-called union had a spine...
Tony is on a world tour taking in places as far flung as Libya, Brown is missing in action and we have 5 cabinet ministers trying to outdo each other as media tarts for a non job. Is Prezza still being kept out of the way in the Caribbean?
Just a small query, who is running the country at the moment?

"Just a small query, who is running the country at the moment?"
I suspect the country runs itself very well and it's only when politicians start interfering that things get fucked up. Maybe they should all be sent on permanent holiday.
Talking about Keith Vaz, do you remember when The Times used to always put "who is still a member of this government" whenever he was mentioned?
Very good.
The " lost " quatrain of Nostradamus.
Ten long years the clunking fist,
Wretched Albion howls in grief,
The one eyed queen grabs power,
Darkness and terror for all.
Spooky.
I am still trying to decide who you punch first if you saw them in your local pub;
Roy Keane
Alex Ferguson
Bliar
Gordo
or Hazel Blears
(Keith Vaz would even get in the door the pompous pratt)
"Oona King, former Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, is out and about with Gordon as he tours the country. She’ll be reporting back to the site with updates and her own personal take on events on the campaign trail through the coming days and weeks."
Last seen on May 23rd, what's Gordon done with Her?
Guido might have posted a warning about the Jackie Ashley article link. There was I idly scrolling down the paragraphs of a rather tedious article when I was suddenly confronted by a sea of naked bodies with a young man's bottom directly facing (?) the camera.
I rapidly scrolled down to see what it referred to in the article,only to discover that it was an ad from some skin treatment.
For one moment I though Jackie Ashley was about to reveal something about Gordon (I don't like to mention my private life) Brown.
For a start he's up to speed on the new technology we are all living with, describing MySpace as "the biggest youth club in the country".
The filthy bastard.
Jackie Ashley's lost the plot, what a nauseous, ingratiatingly unctuous article, ugh!
Gay Gordon's "Engagement" agenda seem to consist of endless visits to schools - engaging with young boys who are commanded to call him Prime Minister, much to his preverse delight no doubt.
It's half term this week, so Where's Gay Gordon, now the schools are closed ?
Nice to see Jackie getting into the swing of being a lickspittle and the annointed ones' cheerleader.
Gordo listen? good grief where has everybody been, he was told about the pension's raid, did he care? not a bugger, he's gone his own sweet Trotskyite way and won't be satisfied till he has fucked this country totally.
Oh for an expedient solution....

Hanging around by the swings
Simpering Jackie must be competing with Polly in the losing dignity , respect and credibility cheerleading for Gordon contest the Guardian seem to be currently running.
well its been raining since he became PM in waiting. Don't know about you buggers but I'm building an ark.
Idle at 12:00. Whilst some elements of the military top-brass, like most of our incompetent and vacuous elite, have adopted New Labour dogma, I am sure that there are many junior officers who are very concerned about the state of our nation. It is, after all, the duty of our armed forces to defend us from tyranny and foreign domination.
Nonce watch: The politicalbetting site on 27 May had a picture of Gordon on a bouncy castle to illustrate the "Brown bounce". I thought this was a rather dubious choice given that amongst the "evidence" quoted against Robert Murat in the Maddie case was the fact that he loved being on bouncy castles - the implication being that there is something a bit weird and sinister about a man who indulges in childlike activities.
Another Major currie disaster as the chef might say.
The sun's whip column have written (read copied guido's story from yesterday) about the where's gordon map on gordon's site today.
They really are worth their salaries aren't they?
As far as the engaging online thing goes, I think he could be onto something...hope it follows through
