From time to time in this "vale of tears" it is possible to collapse in helpless giggles kicking your legs in the air for the sheer joy of it all. I was already 'gruntling up' at the sight of 'Broken Broon' visibly disintegrating before our very eyes. How many Labour MPs are even now wondering if they are likely to hang on to their seats in two years time? And will they just grit their teeth, or bite their nails, as they await the electoral guillotine? Or will they reckon that if somehow they can get 'Broon oot' in the next 12 months, that will give them a year and a bit with some nice, young, telegenic creep in charge who will look and sound like Blair, but not smell like him, to stand against the young, telegenic creeps from the other parties? Probably not, most of them are too thick and too cowardly so like the sheep that they are, it'll be off to the slaughter sheds for many of them. Hurrah!
But even better and more hilarious news from the Left flank where the SWP and 'Gorgeous Pussy' Galloway of the laughingly entitled 'Respect' party (he's a wag, that Galloway!) have fallen out big-time. I can't describe my ineffable joy as I read with tears in my eyes this post and comments thread from 'lenin's tomb'. No need to plough through the whole thing, just skim read and enjoy! All the usual suspects are there, except, alas, the Irma Grese of Blogdom, 'BionicOc', including the mysteriously vanished 'Meaders' who is now some sort of apparatchik in the SWP. 'Lennie Lenin', another functionary in the SWP, tries desperately to keep a stiff upper lip but you can sense it trembling. And, oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, the mutual vituperation, the punched political faces of former comrades(!), the blood on the floor - the walls - the ceiling - oh my giddy aunt, it's hilarious!
Aaah, bless them, I guess splintering and sub-splintering and re-forming gives them something to do - they're f all use for anything else.
Still, I'm glad you found something to cheer you up after that drubbing in the 'me, a racist?' debacle. Absolutely vintage comedy, that was.

"...And, oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth...."
Yes, 'Harry's Place' has been featuring virtually nothing else for the past few days. I've seen it referred to as 'car crash politics' but if so, it's a totally foreseen car crash, as well as a thoroughly well deserved one.
I need to get in some more popcorn for the next round! ;)

Still having problems reading, then, 'NIB'!
'Atta' girl, Julia! I do like people who like blood sports!

Well, more of a grim necessity than a sport, to be honest.
A bit like rough shooting, or vermin eradication... ;)
