Reading this today reminded me of how much I enjoy PMQ's. It's become a ritual for us on Wednesday lunchtime and I even watch it on iPlayer if we miss it.
For the last few years Jan and I have taken a much greater interest on the machination of parliamentary politics and have become fans.
Speaker Bercow is such a pompous little prick claiming, when he is trying to quell rowdy members, that 'this kind of behaviour is not what the public want to see.'
How wrong he is. It's good old gladiatorial stuff and at the end of each session Jan and I debate who won and who lost. We generally agree. Childish and pathetic I know, but still good fun.
Blair was a master at it scoring easy points over a succession of Tory leaders, Brown was an idiot (nothing new there then), repeating time after time his phrase of the day/month and continually proving that he was poor on his feet. He made himself look a similar idiot the other day by blaming everyone else except himself (when he had the power to do it) for not holding a public inquiry in the recent press scandals during his time in office. What an unmitigated fool. The country is well rid of him.
At the moment Cameron appears to hold the upper hand being much more relaxed and sure footed than the somewhat metronomic Miliband who also doesn't seem to be able to think on his feet and frequently repeats his mantra in Brown style. Very odd. Why can't he see that it looks stupid?
Brown is not only annoying but he's a bully by all accounts, dull in the extreme and did his best to bankrupt our country (although I'm not sure that he had much choice with those actions).
ReplyDeleteOne of the worst PM's ever, and God knows he has some stiff competition!
