Shifty Eyed Gordon Brown

Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the United Kingdom may assume that the world is at war and that the general public mostly wish him to wave the white flag and call "surrender". But is that the right thing to do? Up and till now I couldn't have cared less who was in power, as far as I am concerned one politician is as bad as another but recently Gordon Brown has taken poor leadership to whole new depths. His face tells the full story. He barely carries his haggard and sunken, shifty eyed exterior; he depicts a well-dressed prisoner-of-war who snoops and ferrets out camp titbits for his captors. Slightly better fed than the average prisoner but with a whole lot of things to hide from his peers!
Oh, we have many expense-fiddling wild-eyed youngsters who aspire to great heights even if it means ratting and turning against those who have led them by the hand so far. We have many opposition hopefuls who only say "no" when Gordon says "yes" but these are not leaders, not men or women of strength and leadership quality, these are simply well-educated political babies who have no charisma, no faithful following based upon resounding speeches and certainly no proper leadership skills that are so in demand at this moment in time.
Britain lacks a real leader to take us forward and through these ongoing expense-claim scandals and economic recession.
What we have is Gordon Brown, a weak and ineffectual guy who has pulled up the drawbridge of No10 and won't come out to play. In fairness to the poor man his wobbly heart is in the right place! He only wants to do what he thinks is best for the British people, he wants to be fair and to consider all sides of an argument or problem. Looking back he did act responsibly and quickly when the banks were collapsing faster than the journalists could get to them. He has shown leadership quality albeit in a quiet and unassuming manner but . we need a leader Gordo.
There are a bunch of smooth-talking kids surrounding Gordon's castle and he is inside pickling cucumbers or perhaps throwing speeches into the waste paper bin faster than he can complete them?
Come out my good man! Open up the window and shout from the battlements "enough you pasty-faced whiners". He needs to lower the drawbridge and to come charging out on his ebony steed, frothing at the mouth and ready for battle, to scatter the hopefuls away like a hurricane attacking a pile of autumn leaves and to say "I am in charge"!
But I guess it's too late for that now! I wonder which upstart will topple him from his nag.
