The Three Socialist Stooges

            Tom Watson       Jeremy Corbyn         John McDonnell   

Oh my giddy aunt, I can't take much more!  In just a fortnight the three leaders of a once great party of state have reduced it to a clown-fest.  'Jezza' has achieved what no-one thought was possible by making 'Milipede' look like a serious politician instead of the gawpy 'Frank Spencer' lookalike that he is:

      

                    Ed Miliband                                                         'Frank Spencer'

 'Jezza' has stumble-bummed his way round the leadership of his party and as far as his fellow Labour parliamentarians are concerned he is not so much a lame duck as a dead duck, stripped of its feathers, roasted and merely waiting to be served up!

Then there is John McDonnell, the allegedly hard-headed shadow chancellor who on appointment immediately conceded the Tory line that future British governments must not spend more than they collect.  It obviously took his student union 'thugocracy', now called 'Momentum' - yeeeeees, quite! - a few days to work out what he had done.  Fingers were snapped backwards, knee caps whacked with tyre levers and possibly a bit of water-boarding was used but yesterday Mr. McDonnell, a true man of principle, did a high speed handbrake turn and has now repudiated the idea of a Labour government living within its means.

Finally, whilst climbing quickly into our bio-chem protection suits, we turn to the festering pile of ordure that is Tom Watson.  Over my life I have seen some stinkers in parliament but I would be hard-pressed to find anyone as vile as this wretched, cowardly man.  I suspect, and also I hope fervently, that Watson stays around on the opposition front bench where he will face a continual barrage of insults for his disgusting behaviour over the late Leon Brittan.

Those three stooges really do deserve each other!

ADDITIONAL:  Lest you think I exaggerate, here is the opening of Dan Hodges' latest column:

John McDonnell is a fan of straight talking, honest politics. So he’ll appreciate the following observation. John McDonnell is a useless, incompetent, joke of a politician who should not be given responsibility for making the tea in his local constituency office, let alone hold the office of shadow chancellor of the United Kingdom.

The man is not a dangerous Left-wing ideologue, he is a clown. Actually, he’s both. He’s a dangerous Left-wing ideological clown. He should turn up to his first session of Treasury questions with a false nose, make-up, and giant floppy red feet. Then he should change his name from John McDonell to Ronald McDonnell.

Ouch!

It's wonderful, isn't it? A marvellous spectacle which would make excellent theatre. Essentially, we have three characters who appear tough and principled, but rapidly unravel when their daft ideas meet hard reality. One can almost feel sorry for Corbyn, and even McDonnell - they are so clearly out of their depth. Watson, however, is different. He is media-savvy and apparently understands how public opinion works, if only in generating witch-hunts. He is altogether nastier, and I hope he gets what he deserves over Brittan.

David, I guess this means John won't be on your Christmas card list?

[jimmy glesga]

Whyaxye. I would not feel sorry for Corbyn but only for the famiies of British soldiers and civilians murdered in Northern Ireland while that piece of shit was an apologist.

Larry, Curly, and Moe Fine were very intelligent and sensible actors who were performing a comedy script they knew was full of nonsense.

Do these others have an excuse?

[Cuffleyburgers]

Well said Jimmy.

"the festering pile of ordure that is Tom Watson."
(I wish I'd said that.)

[David Duff]

Believe me, Hank, no-one is quicker to admire the work of real comedy players. Forget Hamlet, playing funny is the hardest!

I feel sure, Oswald, that you would have got round to it sooner rather than later.

I had no idea who Tom Watson was politically, but I remember he was one of the first blogging MPs back in the hey-day of the Brit Blogs around 2003-2005. He used to leave sensible comments at Oliver Kamm's place, and seemed to be well regarded by the Conservative/Libertarian bloggers of the day.

Was he always an arse, or did something change?

[David Duff]

Oliver Kamm's blog! Ah, that brings back memories but I can't say I remember Watson appearing there. He first came to my notice during the MPs' expenses scandal when we learned that he had claimed the maximum of £4,800 for food in one year. Then he was a leading agitator in the phone hacking hoo-ha and today he has been exposed as a false accuser of innocent people in the so-called paedophile ring in Westminster. The man is an utter slug!
