The Laboured Party
by John Walker on May.05, 2006, under The Rest
With Labour’s significant losses last night, a big shift toward the Conservatives, and the horrific gains in Barking (another win for Predeterminative Nomenclature) and elsewhere for the extreme-right racist BNP, hopefully the last of the sit-back-and-not-worriers will begin to recognise the distinct shift to the right occuring here.
Stephen Colbert’s rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic/Hindenberg joke is suddenly appropriate all over again, as Blair attempts to demonstrate authority by, er, moving all his best MPs into menial roles, and appointing shovel-faced morons like Beckett as Foreign Secretary. Because obviously Jack Straw was doing such a terrible job… oh no, wait. Blair appears to be upping the ante by setting fire to the deckchairs on the Titanic.
So here’s a sobering thought:

“… nearly one in four UK electors have seriously considered backing the BNP up against a cliff and dropping sharp pointy rocks on them.”

It’s horrid – and i’m a student studying in Barking
It’s becoming an increasingly uncomfortable place to live in.

Are you an ethnic, though?

I think Scottish accents count against claims of ethnicity. You’re practically a round-eye.

Oh come on, you so can’t say that. My eyes are TOTALLY slanty. TV’s only just catching up. I’ve been widescreen since birth.

I suspect that poll’s figures were skewed by discounting answers from niggers.
