British Hugs for British Mugs

Among the many unfortunate consequences of a Scottish No vote may be the temporary re-emergence of the most abject presence in British politics prior to 2010-vintage Nick Clegg. Stirred from his post-defeat sulk by the squeals of desperation from Downing Street, Gordon Brown has been re-inflating his megalomania by drafting a new British constitution. He has drawn up a rather high-flying pie which entrenches this, codifies that, and transcends the fundamental dichotomies of the other; and we are left with a profound and vivid insight into the fantasy world of a betrayed and rejected Reverend Tony acolyte, and not much else. Both Britain's Head Boy and his little orange fag have "embraced" Brown's blather, much as Daveybloke once embraced a husky in the name of Owen Paterson and Frackers United; which should give some indication of how enduring and effective Brown's resurrection is likely to be.
