Gordon Brown At breakfast   
As resounding approval for David Davis begins to reverberate around
the country Brown will begin biting his nails to the quick. He will
shiver in his yellow skin whilst he contemplates the awful thought
that David Davis may have hit a chord with the public.

Can it be possible, he will be thinking, that in modern Britain people
still care about old fashioned virtues such as: Honesty, integrity,
patriotism and courage. No he will tell himself as he slips further
and further down the ratings. We have brain-washed the electorate into
accepting what we have planned for them; there is no escape for them
now.

Over his “brecky” he will be inwardly smiling as the Scottish oats
slide down his gargantuan throat……..Smiling at the thought that Davis
could ever be a lurking threat to his tenure at No 10.   His slipshod
mind will revert to concentrating on turning the UK into an Orwellian
nightmare. A nightmare fit for socialists/communists, deviates and
traitors.

    Tory support down 7 points. Perhaps his nails have been given bit of 
a respite?

From "The Independant" a paper well known for its support of Gordon's
vile nail-biting tendency. of course you never mentioned how much
brown's ratings have gone down, on a daily basis too.

  I'm no fan of Brown or his appaling government. I just dont like the 
idea of any unneccesary distraction from their wretchedness.

With due respect, you should await to see the outcome of this before
you judge.  I have a feeling and I also hope, that the forthcoming bye-
election will send Brown even further down in the publics’ opinion.

If Labour fail to give opposition by not selecting a candidate to
oppose David Davis  and the voters still give Davis a massif turnout
in support  it could be the end for Brown. Even his own party will not
like to continue being led by a coward.

The same could happen if they do put up a candidate. If, again, D.D.
gets a massive yes vote  it will be more then a sock in the eye for
the nail-nibbler. Potential stalking-horses could appear  from within
the ranks of Labour.

Both options  could be calamitous for Gordon, a case of tails he loses
or heads Davis wins. Of course it is possible it will go the wrong way
for Mr Davis but going by the present level of support he is getting,
that looks unlikely.

David Davis has hit a chord with the public but what will really happen 
in the end? It might start a national debate, it should do so in fact, 
but for him personally he could end up with jam on his face. What if the 
people of his constituency donn't bother to give him the massive 
'independent' vote he seeks? He'll ring pretty hollow in such a case the 
so-called 'massive support' will be seen as media clap trap.

Of course they do and long may they reign but is he really exemplifying 
those values?

Why not unbrainwash yourself?

And what if they don't give Davis massive support? Who wins then, both 
Brown and Cameron I suggest.

If the Labour party puts up a candidate they'll be utter fools. Let 
Davis fight against the offcila loonies and a loony from The Sun, a 
situation which any good spin doctor on the Labour side should be able 
to turn into a farce.

We'll see. A week is a long time in politics as Harold 'Gannex' Wilson 
once said.

How could Labour turn it into a farce if they have created an even
bigger one by not standing? Basically, without a candidate, and if
Kelvin does decide to stand (looking doubtful at the moment), Labour
would effectively be the official silent partner of Rupert Murdoch and
420 days (that's the number that Kelvin thought of).

He has said, more than once, that he doesn't care for his personal
position. He's 58, for goodness' sake. and probably looks forward to
his retirement. He will win. There's no doubt. And he will be content
to sit on the back benches as a warning to Cameron. There are many,
many precedents.

They will.

You sound like you want him to lose. That no one should stand up for
principles. That he is doing politics a disservice. You sound like the
Westminster Village.

Obviously! Hear the cacophony against him. There's your evidence. The
hacks don't understand principle, can't comprehend it. They only
understand typical political machinations that the general public is
heartily fed up and sick to death with. That's why the pundits are so
out of touch with their readers and listeners. It's going to be an
eye-opener for them.

Because Davis would be standing against nonsensical candidates and would 
end up tilting at windmills. He can't argue with himself, or at least he 
can but it won't have great effect.

So what? He'd be thrown out at the next election and his party of one 
would have no influence whatsoever in Parliament. Standing against the 
Sun would be grist to its mill whereas it should simply be treated with 
the contempt it deserves.

Plenty of precedents for 'stands' yes, but their subsequent influence
has usually been pretty minimal. I can't think of any one that has
fundamentally changed things.

That is an opinion not a fact. We'll see.

He can't possibly lose and I am glad that he is standing up for his
principles, as should everyone, but I fear that this is a futile
exercise.

It seems to me that criticism has not been of his stand so much as the
method he has chosen to make it and its potential usefulness.
