Revealed: the Smeargate winners

The truly excellent politicalbetting.com prides itself on an objective, non-partisan analysis of electoral politics.  But they have a slightly odd photo attached to their discussion thread about who will benefit from Smeargate.

Under his headline: “Is this the real winner from Smeargate?”, PB’s editor Mike Smithson attaches the above striking image. 

Is the question whether the winners from the present political chaos will be the faceless military industrial establishment, with a public school boy meekly occupying the backseat?

Let’s hope the answer isn’t “yes”.

Not this time.

Internet porn – New Labour fails again

In keeping up to speed on the hilarious downfall of Damian McBride and Derek Draper. I happened upon the latter’s blog.

Aside from the prescient image of Mr Draper needing the support of a life belt (Dolly, they don’t actually work if the entire mainstream media is applying several mega-tonnes of force on your head to keep your mouth under water), what I found deeply titillating was the blog’s proud boast that this is where Dolly posts stuff that “isn’t suitable for Labourlist.org” .

I’ve been hitting refresh every few seconds for the last few days.  My mouse is now broken and my index finger is worn to the bone. And I’ve yet to see any pictures of Shadow Cabinet members in  stockings and suspenders.

Yet another broken promise from New Labour.
