I have accused Brown, many times, of being a cowardly politician. I have sniggered that this timid leader has written three books on ''Courage'' when, in reality, he probably puts both full-fat and semi-skimmed on his cornflakes as to avoid making a choice. I have laughed and poked fun as he has wriggled out of every political challenge. I have said that he is a political soft-cock - a man who when the legs of political opportunity are akimbo and wanting nothing more than a pounding from the Prime Minister... he suffers from brewers droop.
However, his behavior over the Olympics is so complicated it is as if he is playing an advanced game of hokey-kokey.
On the one hand:
"We will not be boycotting the Olympic Games. Britain will be attending the Olympic Games ceremony. I think President Sarkozy said himself he expected Britain, because we are going to host the next Olympics, to be present at the Olympic ceremonies and I will certainly be there."
On the other hand:
He will not be attending the opening ceremony.
But wait:
We knew all along that he wasn't going to the Opening Ceremony.
On the one hand, he wishes to meet the Dalai Lama. On the other hand, he allows Chinese thugs to surround the Olympic Torch and trot up to Downing Street, shakes their hand and then doesn't fucking touch the Torch.
Does he honestly think we won't notice that as he grins and waves, surrounded by goons, he won't touch the torch? It's an empty gesture like one of those wankers who waves his water over whisky at Burns Suppers to toast the 'king over the water'. It's like signing the Lisbon Treaty behind closed doors all over again. This is a man, remember, who welcomed the Saudis last summer yet won't be seen in the same room as Mugabe.
Can you imagine Gordon Brown having the balls to do a Rudd - to stand up and blast the Chinese publicly? I can't imagine him doing it in the UK in English let alone in Mandarin in Beijing. Of course not because that would involve taking and holding a position.
He wants us to do something about China but what exactly? He's changing position as often as a Aberdonian whore when the riggers are in town - nobody knows what he thinks about China, nobody knows what he wants to do but he is trying to please everybody at once. He doesn't want to anger the Chinese for any number of reasons, he wants to show to the world he wants to support a feudal theocracy in Tibet, he wants to show to the anti-China protestors they have a point, he'll welcome Chinese goons to Downing Street yet he won't touch the torch and he is picky about which morally abhorrent dictators he'll eat smoked salmon sandwiches with.
My head is spinning. What the fuck is he doing? I can't keep up.

As was said in the not too distant past, He will make a f###### awful prime minister.
How true, the man is a total wanker
Spine of a jellyfish.
We are a sovereign nation. Allowing Chinese special armed policemen to act like thugs in London was akin to treachery. These Chinese officials should not have been allowed to patrol the streets of London with that torch. We have our own perfectly capable police thugs to do that, although they might not be quite as fit as the Chinese thugs.
This time the police were not as good at stifling democratic dissent as they were when Jan Ze Ming came of a state visit a few years ago. Bliar should hang his head in shame for using the police in such an anti democratic manner. Oh, hang on, I forgot.......he dislikes us having any freedom at all. He has passed the same torch onto Gordon Brown.
Nu Labour think the novel 1984 is an instruction manual, not a warning.
CGood Job! :)
