The city lights, the pretty lights,
they can warm the coldest nights,
all the people going places,
smiling with electric faces ..

And lo, he returned like the Messiah to address the masses.
And the people did gather at a place they called Birmingham
And he had a message for them, and it was this: That the one they call Gordon Brown had been a failure, and the one known as Dave Cameron was a smarmy tit.
And then he spoke cheerily to his disciples at the Lib-Dem party conference.
And we saw that it was good.
And then he was gone.
Yup, final leaders debate was the other day, with Clegg back on top form, though with Gordon Brown not far behind I reckoned. But, I think we all know now that Labour has lost a wheel and can't find a spare tyre after Gordon Brown's recent cock-up with that woman in Rochdale, an event they're now wittily branding 'Bigotgate', which sounds more like a Teesside shopping centre than a political scandal.
I feel sorry for the poor bloke; he's not the first, nor will he be the last politician to be caught out by a microphone left on. You may have seen him doing a radio apology afterwards, which if you haven't seen, is painful to watch. Brown goes through the whole 'it was a misunderstanding' bit very well, and then Jeremy Vine comes in with something like "I've just been handed the audio from that day, shall we listen?". And as they play it, Brown just slumps back in the seat for a second in a way that just moans 'Oh, fuck'. And then he slumps forward with his head in his hands. Poor bloke.

"No, I was misunderstood. What I meant was 'fuck off and see if you can fix immigration problems, you stupid woman'."So yeah, fun times for all.
Other recent updates; those of you who know me on facebook may have seen this: the news that Phillipa Stroud, some woman who's responsible for a load of current Tory policies has been running weird, strangely American-esque evangelical church services to 'cure' gay people, driving out their 'inner demons' in the name of Jesus. What a bitch. What a fucking nazi. That may as well be a BNP policy.
In other Conservative happenings, there are possibilities that future students studying scientific subjects such as medicine at University could face fees of £6-14,000 per year. Given that Medicine and other science courses last round about 6 years or so, that's looking at a leaving debt of £36,000 at the least. Good plan, in the midst of Britain facing a shortage of doctors and nurses. But who can afford this masterplan, we ask? Why, it's the Tories, and any suck-ups they've drawn in from along the way. Here's looking at you Oxford.
What a pisstake.
Now I simply must be off to ask mother if I can have another pony, and if father can spare me another grand for my gap yah.
Did I mention I'm not voting Conservative on Thursday?
