Yes, yes, I know he's a fat, obnoxious menace whom one would not wish to see in control of a Parish Council but, like those splendid fellows who regularly go down into our city sewers and ensure that any build up of brown stuff is whooshed away, so it is with Mr. Griffin and his thugocracy who have just assisted in the whooshing away of somewhat similar Brown stuff! Mirabile dictu, suddenly the Brown blockage which has held open the doors to mass immigration has dissolved under a powerful stream of BNP uric acid. Or, to put it another way, they just pissed on Labour's parade! Not only has a hitherto non-subject, only spoken of in the impolite, ignorant and not yet re-educated white, working-class circles, been allowed to enter the Westminster salons, but the big Brown job himself has now decreed that actions will be taken to cut down on visa entries from countries outside the EU. Is it not wonderful, mes enfants, how politicians can so easily, so effortlessly and so elegantly, perform 180 degree turns when they find themselves staring down the double-barrels of the shot-gun from electoral hell which will despatch them to oblivion?
Of course, it goes without saying that the panic U-turn will, as usual, take Brown & Co. in completely the wrong direction. He is, I gather, planning on cutting visas to well-educated, highly trained professionals who are precisely the sort of immigrants the country needs. Its the scallawags camped out over the Channel that we need to keep out - not that I don't admire their drive and determination, but until we force our own less-than-determined 'youfs' and 'youfettes' back to work by cutting off every single welfare benefit, then I'm afraid they will just have learn French. Also, before we celebrate it must be remembered that on Planet Brown words and deeds are rarely conjunctive!
Anyway, let's give old Nick one cheer - oh, come on, I know you wouldn't want him to marry your sister but if it wasn't for him putting the frights up Gordie's kilt, immigration would still be a non-subject spoken of by non-people. So, altogether now . . .
"...the big Brown job himself has now decreed that actions will be taken to cut down on visa entries from countries outside the EU. "
And the people most affected by this? "Engineers, skilled chefs and care workers could be among the professions affected."
Just the sort of people we need to import because we haven't trained enough, or it's work no-one here wants to do for the wage offered.
Good old Brown. Took aim, shot himself in the foot. Again.

Indeed, if only we could get him to turn his gun 180 degrees, er, metaphorically speaking, of course!
