Quote of the Day

Peter Mandelson joked

‘If Tony and Gordon were stranded on a desert island surrounded by sharks, Tony would charm the sharks to carry him to safety. Gordon would sit there raging “Who sent the sharks?”’

    I rather think that many are and always have been immune to the charms of T. Blair.

      ps: Oh, on the sharks front, I think any assistance proffered to one of their own is less due to charm and more simple ‘professional courtesy’.

    I liked this extract from the same article “Mr Brown’s supporters said he views Foreign Secretary David Miliband as ‘lightweight’, Home Secretary Alan Johnson as ‘lacklustre’, Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman as ‘a disaster’ and his protege, Schools Secretary Ed Balls, as ‘too aggressive’.” I think that that is the first time I have agreed with Gordon Brown’s analysis of anything.

    Gordon would be safe. Sharks won’t eat anything that looks ” funny”

    There’d be parties in the streets, marching bands, bunting and an all pervading sense of a job fucking well done.

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
