New Face Same Spin

Were you unlucky enough to see the new King of Spin (in which apologies for the meaningless "errors," not the import ones is the new arrogance designed to fool an electorate more interested in evictions from TV shows like The Apprentice than who the Labour Party enthrones as our new Prime Minister) as he appeared on Andrew Marr's BBC1 show on Sunday Morning?

if you missed it - thank your lucky stars. This "touchy feely" open-necked shirt politics as started by Blair, refined by "Call Me Dave" Cameron is now being embraced by the man were were always told (by the Tories and the Blairites) was a "dour Scot."

Mr. Brown has apologised for the Millennium Dome.

Great! I feel liberated!

I'm sure the Iraqi people will be dancing in the streets now that is cleared up!

Meanwhile the King expectant, Gordon I, stressed how he was going to build more homes to help those 'starting out' get on the property ladder.

He said it with a straight face you know!

This is the man who, as Eddie George (ex-boss of the Bank of England) attested, made the joint decision to artificially increase property prices to as to stave off the unavoidable crash that was to come.

Yes: Gordon the Saviour, Gordon the Apologist, Gordon of New New Labour is going to right all the wrongs... except he won't.

Will he apologise when the house market tumbles to all those caught out? Will he apologise to those numpties who bought into huge mortgages now that rates are going up and their homes start to be repossessed?

More-to-the-point, will he stop the immigrants flooding in who put more strain on housing? How many have flooded in since 1997? 1 Million? More? Less? I read in one paper today how a local authority had an increase of applications for national insurance cards of 500% - but they still had no idea how many actual immigrants had entered their area because of extended families, illegal immigrants etc.

The state of the country is a mess.

Immigrants continue to flood in - just this week Slough in Berkshire (a town I know well) complained that "Roma" (Asiatic gypsies from Eastern Europe) children were turning up unaccompanied and this was putting a huge strain on local services.

Yet still Brown and his fellow apologists won't put a stop to this madness. It's acceptable to apologise for the Millennium Dome... not so to apologise for letting in all the flotsam and jetsam of the world in unknown quantities, making our own people minorities in many places.

So a big thanks to Gordy for having the sheer courage to apologise for the Millennium Dome. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa.

I won't hold my breath for some similar words of comfort on:
artificially inflated house prices;
on rising interest rates;
on selling off the country's gold reserves at an all-time low;
on giving more power to the private usurers' firm the Bank of England;
on supporting America's Neo-Con foreign policy;
on selling out the Palestinian people;
on embroiling the NHS in debts and privatisation;
on failing to stop immigration and pushing the "enrichment" lie as our country is Balkanised;
...and then there's all the Nu-Lab sleaze as more money was sought to prop up a party which had betrayed its founding principles, the beliefs of its grass-roots membership, and pushed a vacuous 'centre-ground' liberalism (lessons to be learnt for all there: even nationalists).

So it is that party politics rolls on.

Blair is replaced and all is well? So they'd like us to believe... and just in case enough people see through New New Labour, there's Teflon "Call Me Dave" Cameron waiting in the shadows, a Blair Mark2 with his New Tories.

Think you've escaped vacuous politics whilst the betrayal continues?

Think again.
