Apologies for the absence of posts on this - probably - historic day.
I've just seen Brown being interviewed on Channel 4 News. The most striking thing was that he really does seem to live in a make-believe world in which we, the people, have chosen him carefully to lead us through troubled times.
"I have been entrusted", he said, of leading the country.
Eh? When? Who entrusted you, Gordon? Apart from the Labour Party, which only had one candidate to choose from. Not one voter has entrusted him with anything.
He then went on talk about how the message of the people was clear: that we wanted him to listen to us, blah, blah, blah.
No, it isn't. The message is certainly clear, but it's rather more stark than that. How else would you characterise a 17.6 per cent swing than 'F off'? No one has said they want him to listen. What they've done whenever they've had the chance is boot out anyone with the appelation 'Labour', for no more obscure or hidden reason than because they want to boot them out.
Brown is not only willing to do anything to stay in office - such as splurging £2.7 billion and fighting elections as if his party was the BNP - he is also, quite literally, deluded. And the longer he remains, the worse and more lingering Labour's defeat will be.
