Oh. WHAT.

This, the Internet tells me, is the front cover of today's The Sun.


I think that to say anything at all in an attempt to analyse this image would take away from its raw, primal power. Just take a few seconds to stare at it, and imagine Obama violently vomiting into a drawer in the Oval Office.

Goodnight, electorate.

The BNP are doing my job for me.

Honestly. I don't know why I bother spending time and energy thinking up fresh anti-BNP arguments, when they just go and do things like this:


I appreciate that the boys who get involved don't come across enormously well either, but just look at Bob Bailey and his henchmen - this is a man who's standing for parliamentary office, and he's manifestly nothing but a streetfighter and a common thug. Take time in particular to observe him trying to put the boot into the face of a boy who's lying on the floor, that's a skill which would really translate well to the House.

I've got a horrible feeling that I know what's going to happen tomorrow. But even if (Christ help us) we've got David Cameron PM settling into Number 10 on Friday*, at least the Tories are a moral step up from the filth who have absconded with our national flag.
I'll be out from 7am tomorrow, trying to get people into my local polling station - even if you haven't got time to get involved, then make your voice heard in support of whoever has the best chance of cripping the Tories in your area. With any luck, this is the last time we'll need to vote tactically.

See you at the ballot box x


*To be fair, he is now being backed by the Holy Trinity of morally-bankrupt public figures - Robert Mugabe, Simon Cowell and Jim Davidson. Not to mention Matt from Busted. That election after-party is going to be SHIT HOT.

Gordon Brown: our most credible choice.



Okay, I'll put my hands up. I've been as guilty as almost every other liberal leftist in the country in the past month, temporarily seduced by the charms of the Liberal Democrats and their suddenly-plausible third way.

No longer, kids. Watch the video above, and I implore you to comment if you've ever seen a more credible politician. I've got a book of 'speeches that changed the world', and for sheer passion and honesty there are very few to match GB at his finest - there is certainly nobody else involved in this election who can deliver a speech of that quality. For all that Gordon Brown is media-shy, dour and occasionally prone to gurning, he is the most talented politician to have entered Whitehall in several generations - his record as Chancellor speaks for itself, and he managed to keep the country afloat through the worst recession in eighty years despite inheriting his office practically on the eve of the financial collapse.

Politicians of Gordon Brown's stock come along perhaps two or three times in a century. He deserves to be given the mandate which he has so richly earned - the risk of voting Lib Dem and ending up Tory is simply too great.

Vote Labour. In fact - fuck our evident lack of a presidential system - vote Gordon Brown. Do it.
