The politics of personality.
It worked in the States, now we're getting it too. Ken or Boris? Never mind the policies, who's got the best suit?¹

Gordon or David? Well, Gordon changed his mind on something once, David never does that²

Gordon Brown on TV in the US, HEY LOOK HE'S IN MAKEUP AND HAS BEEN STYLED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON US TV! How shameful and embarrassing³

What the fucking gibbering bloody fuck is wrong with us? Why do we WANT to be like the US? They ended up 'voting' for Bush for fucks sake! TWICE!

I don't want a politician that smiles and kisses babies, I don't care if they're pristine for the cameras, I don't care if they're friends with Oasis, if they're red or blue, if they've got pearly white teeth, if they're an alcoholic, if their child is a normal teenager prone to getting drunk. I DO NOT FUCKING CARE.

All I want to know is if they'll look after things that actually help society funtion like schools, the health service, policing serious crime instead of nicking grannies for having a slightly open bin. I don't even mind if they raise taxes to pay for this, as long as they're honest about it, which they never fucking are.

What the fuck happened to common sense, or was that just a myth in the first place?

Every time I see any of those goits on TV it makes me damn near spit with rage.

GNAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

phew, glad I got that off my chest, I'm fluffy really...
