Bring on the clowns!

"Isn't it rich?
Aren't we a pair?
You with your pint in your hand
my head full of air..."

Well that could be an apt duet for the current and previous Deputy Leaders of the Labour Party, John 'Prezza' Prescott and, the latest incumbent, the dreadful Harriet Harman. This woman, once sacked in 1998 for reaching a level beyond her own competence, and who only got there because she was a Labour Party apparatchik, a Blair babe of the utmost reliability.

Well now she is deputy leader of the party of government, the party which keeps banging on about how much safer and freer from crime the country is than it used to be. How much Labour's investment in the police has reduced violent crime. Of course nobody believes a word of it but I have never seen a spectacle so ludicrous as a Minister of State, touring her own London constituency of Peckham wearing a police stab jacket DESPITE being surrounded by three police officers.



What a wonderful vote of confidence this gives to the governments anti crime policies, not to mention tremendous reassurance for the residents of Peckham who were rightly indignant about the Minister's antics!

Harman is a protected species - God alone knows why. She seems to rise above the level of her own incompetence time and time again yet she keeps rising to the top like bacteria in a bottle of milk.

We had the chance to elect a decent politician as Deputy Leader last year - Jon Cruddas would have done an excellent job. Instead we are lumbered with this brainless clothes horse. The Labour Party is spiralling towards defeat at the next General Election and with people like Harman in key positions its not hard to see why!
