So here's the deal.  You're a grown man living in the modern world.  A world that you've seen change a few times admittedly, but still here you are.  Trouble is you're the leader of the political party that is actually governing one of the most strategically important countries in the world.  As leader of that party you are also the leader of that country and you've spent the past three years effectively blaming the rest of the world for making your life difficult.  On top of that, you've sold off all of that country's gold reserves.  But it doesn't stop there.

You are called to an enquiry to explain why the army that your then leader sent to a foreign land to fight for oil,  you didn't give them the necessary cash to buy the proper equipment.  Your explanation is that nobody told you it was a problem and you increased the budget anyway. To use a well worn phrase, tell that to the army.

So you are coming to the end of your tenure and an election is near, although only you can call it and so far you've missed two opportunities.  In fact today you are in Afghanistan to see those troops you mentioned yesterday as having all the equipment their generals said they needed.  Then today on twitter, we are told that you've given an interview to the Tesco magazine about your mother.

Now if very sadly your mother is no longer with us, I offer my condolences.  However with us or not, what do you take us, the voters, for?  Do you really think we are daft enough to believe that the perpetrator (or should that be perpeTRAITOR) of the acts of selling England by the pound, killing our soldiers by reducing funding and wasting the country's remaining funds on saving the banks (which as we knew then was totally unnecessary), has actually got a semblance of heart.

Well, I'm sure you do but as the doyen of afternoon TV would say.  Goodbye Gordon Brown, you are the weakest link.  And I would add that if you had a semblance of backbone you walk now.
