And do it now.
I don’t like to repeat myself BUT... here we are
again. Ed proves once more that the Sun most definitely does not shine out of
his derriere.
For heaven’s sake. When are the labour party
going to get it? Most people got it
about a week after Ed was elected leader.
Those who cling on to the fantasy that it’s just
an image problem, are living in lala land. Ed has that absolute knack for
always getting it wrong. It’s ingrained. And this is at the point where not
many people are paying attention to him. Getting the new Axelrod was a waste of
time, money and effort. True the wheels are off but the engine is also
knackered.
The only answer is OFF with their Eds.
That has been the answer to the unasked question
for many months. A new spray job may fit in this world of superficiality and
gloss but it won’t make the carburettor run. We are suffering from a whole
generation of politicians who think policy doesn’t matter as much as PR.
The electorate don’t ‘get’ Ed because he doesn't
‘get’ them.
The fiasco of lil ol’ Ed posing with the Sun
newspaper (part of Axelrod’s attempt to ‘people-ise’ ED?) just reeks of not
getting it on a cosmic level. Put it in the sack along with eating bacon
butties in public, going into Greggs or posing with a pint to try and look
normal. Thus emphasising his inability to do just that.
But posing with the Sun newspaper?
Re the Brazil
There is little point re-writing the many ways
that Ed is un-electable – instead I refer you to blog 50 - Ed Milliband – political semolina.
I think the folk of Liverpool
have shown admirable staying power in maintaining their moral disdain for a tat
tabloid that libeled the dead of Hillsborough for the sake of attention
grabbing headlines.
But then there is side-kick Ed, fumbling and
thugging his way through parliamentary question time with as much finesse as a
drunken rhino.
I don’t want to care. It is many years since I
parted company with the Labour party (see blog 39 - What is the point of Newcastle City Council). Blair’s presidential
style repulsed me though it was the illegal invasion that was the final straw –
and boy oh BOY the size of those chickens that are coming home to roost!
But I digress.
Watching the party’s abysmal efforts is more
painful than it should be. I can’t help it, I just don’t want them to be that
crap.
When are the upper echelons of the Labour
machine going to realise that they have to win this election. Even with the
coalition in the state it’s in they just can’t sit back and hope the other side
will lose. Because that is what is happening. And that is why even those who
realise that Ed is an all-time liability don’t want to rock the boat, upset the
apple cart, create waves. Well listen up – the boat is leaking and listing, the
apples are rotten and there is a tsunami of shite coming labour’s way if it
doesn’t wake up and smell the coffee (…even for me I think that is complete OD
on the analogies).
It is time (as previously stated on this blog)
for Harriet Harmon to shake off the cobwebs, step forward and tell the boys to
go play with themselves while she sorts things out.Yes she was associated with Blair – all-time
toxic monster BUT when Ed did the only worthwhile thing he has done since he
came to prominence – i.e. apologise for the illegal Iraq invasion – she went
along with it – to the public chagrin of the elder Miliband. Some credit there.
What a combo. Frauline Angela, Madame President
Hilary and Mrs PM Harriet.
The time is now. Once we hit September in about
10 weeks and there is nowt on BUT the 2015 election, it will be too late.
More importantly, I will make a prediction (I
would bet but us Methodists don’t) - if the Labour party do not rock the boat,
make waves, upset the apple cart, turn over a new leaf, shake a leg, take the
bull by the horns, grasp the nettle, use a new broom, ring the changes yada
yada yada - they will not convince a substance hungry electorate they are fit for
office.
