Comedy or Tragedy?

Poor David Cameron. It seems as though his charm with children needs some pointers from the Michael Jackson School of Persuasion. But, I doubt he is too bothered - they don't vote. And, all smirks considered, things are going swimmingly for the boy from Notting Hell.

But what about Gordo? With yesterday's vision2020 announcement from Milburn and Clarke he is no doubt feeling his ascension to the throne being challenged. If only Shakespeare had written soap operas he would have found in New Labour's power struggles abundant material for the pen that never blotted a line. He would have sussed out the coronation prospects in no time: "They that stand high have many blasts to shake them. And if they fall, they dash themselves to pieces."(Richard III, Act 1 Scene 3)

I, personally, prefer blackmail from YouTube:
