Brooding Scot or Bond VillainMaybe the BBC is finally wising up to the probability that, come the next election, Gordon Brown’s government will be toast. Either way, if it continues to publish photos like this one to your left, it will pretty quickly rid itself of the stain of pro-Labour bias. Gordon Brown looks less Mr Bean and far more Bond villain, deranged beyond reason and bent on world domination. Certainly, last autumn’s “will he, won’t he?” debacle over the general election showed his willingness to toy with his prey, right up to the point where it escaped from its shackles and took a pop at him with a Walther PPK 7.65 mm sloppy great custard pie.

Sadly we can’t put our great, clunking fists in the ballot box for some time yet, so why not amuse yourself by typing “Brooding Scot” into Google image search. The first page of results is an eye-opener and a delight in so many ways.

Unfortunately there is no alternative to Brown and his crew as they have no credible opposition.Never forget the tories almost killed off the NHS,Mick.PS Working folk have a duty to keep the tories out in my view.

To be fair, I wasn’t trying to say much more than Gordon Brown looks like a Bond villain in this pic from the BBC. What I do know, though, is that despite chucking millions at the NHS over the last 10 years, it’s in a worse state than ever. It’s a challenge to even register with a doctor (so much for patient choice) and, when you do, a crazy target-driven culture means you can’t even get your ears unblocked without being (expensively) passed from pillar to post for weeks on end. But I think I mentioned this before…

And just don’t get me started on local government…

Well, then, we must have a credible opposition. How about a commitment to liberty, progress, assistance to the poor and down-trodden and a end to puritanism. Whig revival anyone?

Or the Labour party could get a fecking grip. It can’t be packed to the gunnels with utter wankers can it? Oh.

Though your search does suggest an alternative: Scott Walker for PM.

Such reasoned argument Bill, regards, Mick.

Yes - Scott Walker for a PM who sings and bakes biscuits.

I loved the link and was led away by a book’s image to Jason Pinter’s blog.
As a non-alpha Blogger Of Few Comments,
I was THRILLED to see there,
a post by two prize-winning multiply-published authors,
which had only two responses, from two other published authors, and both failed to address the point of the post.
Oh I was thrilled - thank you Lord Locker of Keyhole.

Now they’re going for the Mr Bean look - this one is hilarious.
