Labourlist, and more great Gordon Brown quotes
I have not written a good partisan political piece for a while, so here goes.
First things first, as a libertarian, mainly tory leading blog read by few, I want to put on record my congratualations to Derek Draper for setting up labourlist.org. Leaving aside the sites charmless description of far superior blogs as the 'Z-List,' a deeply delusional set of writers who don't seem to understand anything much going on at all, it is at least nice to see the Labour Party getting online and joining the 21st century world of debate. So well done Derek.
I had a look at Labourlist and did to it's credit find some humour however, Gordon won't be amused. How much of the humour is intentional is of course a mute point, but at least it's there. First up is this hilaroius avatar of Peter Mandleson which I have linked from the Sun Website. The image of virtual Peter, like one wasn't enough, comes from the site Second life, a site I assume for people who consider themselves failures in the first lives. Far be it for us to speculate on
Secondly, it bravely links to this fantastic article, which is so good I'm linking to it here. A definitive definition of what Cyber Peter and company tells us about Labour. If you want a good laugh give Labourlist and Gordon's virtual Britian a go, it may take your mind off losing your home, mortgage or job.
Talking of Gordon, or should that be Superman, he has opened his mouth again. This time to The Sun. Not content withsaving the world. now he has felt the Martin Luther King force. Apparently he 'has a dream.' But that was not the best quote. Get this one, apparently he also claims that the election of Barak Obama “gives us a historic chance to move the clock forward”. er, right, funny that because I'm watching my watch now, and the clock is moving forward as it has been for centuries. Seems I'm making history, didn't realise it was quite that easy.
