‘Government dysfunctionally headless, Prime Minister had own anti-Blair ousting fund before he went mad, previous PM visited children’s hospital asking for photo-opps with very sick kids’

As we predicted last week,the MoS Gordon Brown revelations get worse and worse. Today, The Sunday Times weighed in with a piece about growing Civil Service frustration with Political Executive insanity…and this too helps again to corroborate both recent and past pieces from this column.

It would be encouraging if all this Labour moral meltdown was stopping the nation dead, and hogging every conversation in our shops, pubs and cafes. But it isn’t.
It would be excusable if the appalling tragedy in Haiti was the event stopping that from happening. But it isn’t.

There is a great lyric from Don McClean’s album Prime Time which goes like this:

They shot him in the chest/Pass the chicken breast

It sums up the way in which we all accommodate horror in the news coverage of everything from merciless war to mindless politics. And so it becomes difficult bordering on impossible to shock anyone with anything. This is an old theme: but contemporary political amorality in Britain exemplifies it to such an extent, even illegal military actions and murderous earthquakes seem to pale by comparison.

In such a context, the media konw not the right thing to do – only the familiar. So huge random disasters induce endlessly ghoulish 24/7 reporting, alongside shallow depictions of human misery. And journalists are ‘adopted’ by regiments in Afghanistan. But (for example) the behaviour of those who seek power above any other consideration comes nowhere in The Mirror’s top stories. At Number Three in this illustrious list was ‘Kebab yob defended in Court by his mum who is called Donna’.

What would it take now to confine the Blair years to history’s high security prison, and the Brown Ministry to Bedlam? I’ve no idea any more. Perhaps there is nothing left.

I can offer you little except the obvious truth that there is more of this smelly, incontinent Brown Stuff to come out. Top Tories know it, Clegg’s inner circle knows it, and the Lobby fraternity knows it. Whether it will make the front pages is another matter.
In the meantime, stay tuned. The Slogger at least continues to take the Prime Minister’s alleged moral and mental incapacity seriously.
