The inevitable appalling outcome
You see, this is what we get for allowing British politics to be dominated for so long by only two so-called towering figures who have seen off all challengers to their leadership: when the last of the two is finally tottering, about to fall, you end up with an offensively mediocre chancer with no discernible talent above self promotion and veering, brazen lies within a heartbeat of becoming Prime Minister.
And don’t get me started on Jack Straw. The fact that this strutting little flunky, a man who never met an arse he wouldn’t kiss in order to get where he wants to be, is in the running at all is the final proof that this country is steeped in self hatred. If the UK was a person, you’d be considering having them sectioned for their own protection right about now. The nasty and disturbing things we might be about to do to ourselves…

Bleurgh, not in the slightest. I’ve still got my fingers crossed for dimension jump technology being perfected sometime soon. Or time travellers arriving at CERN and inviting me back with them. They don’t seem like any less ridiculous scenarios than a Miliband/Straw/Harman premiership.
You might just have hit upon the political slogan for our times there, combining intelligent discernment (“not in the slightest”) with gut feeling (“bleurgh”), and applying with equal force across the entire dirty-blue Westminster spectrum.

Jack Straw is the epitomy of ‘do whatever it takes and smile sweetly’ when it comes to Labour politicians. He just coddles up to whoever is in charge.

That could be why this grey unpleasant land is floating off the coast of Europe rather than attached to it.
“you’d be considering having them sectioned for their own protection right about now”
be fair. they’ve handed over most of our sovereignty to a “more responsible adult” already. It’s just the pretence that they haven’t which annoys.
