OFF!

Gordon Brown is on the wireless, doing a phone-in, live. For an hour.

I've turned him off. Sorry, but there it is.

PMQs is as far as I am prepared to go. You may call me a coward and a wimp but I simply cannot envisage hearing that man talking at me for an hour, posturing and lying and expecting to be believed.

I claim medical exemption from political duty on this occasion. High blood pressure. I'll be right there when it's time to man the barricades and get shot at by Miss Jacqboots's nice constables. But not this.

I hope Pravda's dragon-ladies will allow some really abusive calls to get through. But they won't because Gordon's hard men will be standing over them with baseball bats.

Whatever happens, I'll catch up with it later, hereabouts, without having to risk my sanity and my cardio-vascular system.

If you're listening, poor you.

Update

I knew that was a good decision.

Well he was very close to a blow up today on Radio 4!

He was very confrontational to the interview and the callers! Got to be worth -x%.

He actually says “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, AND IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND……WE’LL NEVER SOLVE IT, WE’LL NEVER SOLVE IT”

The boy done good. For the Conservatives. Roll on the GE campaign. The very prospect makes the mouth water...

I must make a point of not listening to him again. Maybe we'll get a few more poll points.

See? I am doing my bit.
