Fishing for sympathy won't help.

Oh boohoo, Gordon, boofuckinghoo.

"I'm not as great a presenter of information or communicator as I would like to be," he said in an interview, adding that he is not skilled at political manoeuvring. "I don't actually think I'm very good at it at all."

Must have finally worked himself up to watch that YouTube video, and mad as he is even he found it painful and cringe making.

Adding that he has been "hurt" by the personal attacks on him in the past month, calling it the toughest point of his "political life", Mr Brown admitted: "To be honest, you could walk away from all of this tomorrow."

Good. Don't let the door of No. 10 hit you in the arse on your way out.

But you won't though, will you?

Despite the issues his party had faced in the last month, Mr Brown said he was confident Labour could still win the next general election...

See? Mad, as they say here, as a cut snake.

He said the idea any party in government would need to cut public spending was "a myth", arguing the Tories' strategy proved they could no longer "talk about being mainstream".

Hang on. The need to cut spending is a myth, is it? Then I must ask two questions: what should a government do when when a recession hits tax revenue, it's borrowed nearly as much as it can, has run out of money and has put aside the square root of fuck all during the boom times (which it had abolished before the bust that hurt the revenue, but never mind)? How is the need for cuts mythical when you've simultaneously over extended and emptied the coffers? The fact is that this is something anyone and everyone who's ever needed to balance their own bank account will understand - when you've got nothing left and can't borrow more you simply cannot afford to buy a new TV. Any party of government that tries is going to go against the personal experience of voters and look irresponsible. And you're worried about looking mainstream, Gordon? Looks like you've been mainlining, you fuckwit.

Second question, O suppository of wisdom, if the need to cut public spending is a myth why the fuck did you let your badger faced sock puppet cut it in the last budget?
