How 'Hash Broon' and his cronies must have chortled when they thought up the wheeze of offering important-sounding non-jobs as government advisers to some of the dimmer Tories (a difficult choice) under the preposterous notion of wanting "a government of all the talents". Of course, this all happened last summer when the sun still shone upon 'Hash' who could do no wrong, and doubtless several of the Tories who fell for it probably thought they would be better off in the Labour lifeboat than the leaky old 'SS Cameroon'. One who must be feeling thoroughly queasy now is that odious creep, Quentin Davies MP, a rat who fled what he thought was a sinking ship, not for any matter of principle but just for a sinecure job. Well, he should be amongst the first to feel the cold waters of unemployment rising ever higher over the next two years.
Anyway, today I am cheered by the news that Kate Hoey, a Labour MP and former minister for sport, has accepted an invitation from Boris to be an adviser on the Olympic games if he wins on Thursday. Needless to say, the Labour party is outraged but it is not quite clear at this stage whether it is Miss Hoey's perceived treachery or the sneaky theft of their own idea by the Tories that has given them such acute indigestion. The fact that Boris kept it quiet until the very eve of the election is another small piece of evidence that he is not nearly as buffoonish as he would have you believe.
