“It’s the women that did for him”
What’s the betting that the history books on Gordon Brown’s demise will state “it’s the women that finally did for him”.
Jacqui Smith, Harriet Harman, Hazel Blears, Joanna Lumley and incredibly Camilla Parker Bowles (who seems to be the “mysterious” senior Royal who wrote to Joanna Lumley offering private support for her Gurkha campaign) have all played their part in recent weeks in bringing Gordon Brown’s downfall that bit closer.
I have always thought Gordon to be a “man’s man”. More at ease in the company of his own kind (Draper, McBride, Whelan etc) rather than dealing with the far more complex fairer sex. They can be so darn tricky these women.
Rumors are that Smith and Blears will be swiftly dealt with at the next Government reshuffle. With the more controllable Yvette Cooper promoted yet again (…well you must have some women in the Cabinet and best to have ones that are married to a mate so that he can be tasked with keeping her under control).
Ms Harman, Lumley and Parker Bowles are more difficult to deal with. Best to just ignore them if possible and hope they go away. Fat Chance Gordon.
(ps better still why not have a meeting wth one of them, say Ms Lumley, and then get your aides to go on the record disagreeing with her interpretation of events, that should sort things nicely….).
Update : As has been pointed out to me… I should add that Heather Brooke deserves her name up there too.

You forgot the star of them all Heather Brooke.

You are right David – she certainly deserves her place on the podium

They should make Heather a Countess. She would then be able to go into the House of Lords and sort that lot out. As Brown keeps on saying. “It started in America” Was he talking about Heather who was born in the USA?

Ahhh I so regret missing Heather off my list. And yes, an honour, a statue, a chance to wear ermin…. all should be lain before her.

Thank you. I should say that it should be the Queen to give her the title Countess. A higher rank than Baroness. I do not want the the Westminster lot giving her a title. The first thing they would say to her “Now it is time you return the favour. Go back to America”
