Comments on: Piddling On The Poodle https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/12/19/piddling-on-the-poodle/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Wed, 20 Dec 2006 19:06:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/12/19/piddling-on-the-poodle/comment-page-1/#comment-19232 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 19:06:28 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/12/19/piddling-on-the-poodle/#comment-19232 He did so well before Bush came in that it is a shame that he has blown his legacy by aligning with the US under the Shrubbery. He is apparently hoping for some miracle to leave on a high note, and that isn’t going to happen. It would have been better for all concerned if he had “retired” immediately following the last election, that would have been his last “victory” and a fitting time to leave.

I notice you are backing a number two Jams. Good luck on that, as Gordon Brown may not want to stay after he realizes that his job will be cleaning up the stables after the “elephants” have gone.

I think it could well get worse, Karen, as more and more people decide they don’t want to wait, and nothing improves.

(How stupid is that…so much for the *immediate response* to the vote of No Confidence.) And as for piddling on him…this is FULL-On-Poo-Flinging Episode! *wink*

He has been talking about standing down for some time now. I say stand down now and giove his successor (almost certainly Gordon Brown – I simply cant see anyone beating him in a leadershup contest) the time to turn Labour’s fortunes around.

I have been a Labout party member for over 20 years and the last few years have been a serious test on my loyalty. That doesn’t mean to say we don’t owe Blair a huge debt of gratitude – he led us to an unprecedented third victory and his first term was genuinely progressive – but he is now a serious liability.
