"To upstage Cameron's speech"! Are you serious? Unfortunately for you, you probably are. What on earth could any speech of Cameron's possibly contain that required to be "upstaged"?
Brown knows that the Tories not only will not win the next General Election, but actually cannot do so, as a matter of psephological fact. So, like two Tory MPs as much as anyone else, he is treating them as the electoral and political irrelevance that they are. He is simply getting on with government as usual, as if the Tories did not exist, which they might as well not. If you don't believe this, then just ask Patrick Mercer or John Bercow.
But the question remains, if there can never be another Tory Government, then why bother having a Labour Party?

Patrick Mercer said. "I don't care who you work for, whether it is a milkman or the Prime Minister,you have to be loyal to your boss"
ReplyDeleteBut from the very moment that David Cameron rightly knocked Mercer of his perch sending him to the backbenches Mercer seemed to forsake his boss and his party, perhaps plotting his vengeance on a leader, who had no other choice but to dismiss Colonel Blimp because everyone knows that life in the armed forces is tough but is racist abuse an excepted part of it, YES according to Tory Patrick Mercer
It seems that according to his interview he could see nothing wrong with them being subjected to the worse possible racial insults. But that’s the way it is in the Army he told the Times reporter never thinking or wanting to object to the wrongdoing, because Colonel Blimp, could see no wrongdoing.
Patrick Mercer betrayed his Tory party, showed disloyalty to his boss and is guilty of sheer hypocrisy.
"The fact remains that we now have one of the most dishonourable and deceitful figures in power."
Perhaps, when David Cameron thinks of Patrick Mercer he thinks of the words of Mark Twain.
"You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear."
I’m afraid Colonel Blimp lacks the moral courage and principle he wrongly accused of a rather more righteous MP
A Party Leader is not a backbench MP's "boss". Mercer went from hvaing Cameron as his boss, to having no boss, to having (as he now has) Brown as his boss. And he is, accordingly, loyal to Brown.
ReplyDeleteWho was this "dishonourable and deceitful figure"? If it was Blair, then not only was Mercer spot on, but Brown would agree with him wholeheartedly.
So, is there going to be a Labour candidate at Newark? If so, then what might his leaflet say, and why? And if not, then how should Tories living there vote and why?
The "dishonourable and deceitful figure" was Mercer’s appraisal of a principled Labour MP opposed to the Iraqi war which is regarded by some to be a pretty accurate description of himself.
ReplyDeletePatrick Mercer said he will
continue to be the Tory MP for Newark.
Disloyalty to his Tory boss which aided and abetted the opposition will likely help them to win the next election which seems to give little cause for his Newark Tory zombies to lose faith in him.
Few know that the Labour party under Blair had plans to destroy the Tory party
Cameron has said that their out to do just that and with the help of the likes of troublesome Mercer who knows?
No, Brown is not his boss he’s just a means to an end
The Tory Party has been doing a perfectly good job of destroying itself since the mid-80s at the latest. And now, the job is done. Leaving no purpose for the Labour Party, of course.
