Mr Brown said his strengths were “that I make big decisions and I’m not afraid of breaking new ground”. But he said: “I could present our message a lot better. I’m actually shy by nature rather than extrovert, someone who feels that your actions should speak for themselves, but that’s not the way politics works these days.” (via ‘Shy’ PM sees charitable future) No, the way it works is you run your election platform for as long as you can. Inevitably the wheels fall off because nothing really changes fast enough for anyone to notice, and if it does (i.e. “events dear boy”) you’re doomed. It’s somewhat amusing that labour is suffering from a New Labour PR hangover. And without good reason: On the recent controversy over Andrew Marr asking him if he was taking medication he said he was not bothered by it but added: “I’ve been honest about it. I really dislike the trivialisation of politics.” On his opposite number, Tory leader David Cameron, he said he was a “very good politician” but added he would never “hang out” with him. “I have my own friends,” he added. He described Mayor of London Boris Johnson as a “subset of the entertainment business”.

Weird for the day: picking up a tab book and wishing I’d had time (2-3 years?) to “finish” my dissertation project so I could feed it this crap and get a proper arrangement out instead of having to use my brain.

Well maybe that wasn’t weird, but learning something I thought I didn’t like anymore and finding I still like it was nice.

London mayor Boris Johnson has rescued a woman who was being attacked by an armed group of young girls, chasing them down the road on his bicycle. (via Johnson saves woman from ‘oiks’) Only this morning I linked an article containing this gem: He[The PM] described Mayor of London Boris Johnson as a “subset of the entertainment business”.

The last 30 hours of work, play, and in-betweens sucked. Time to reject reality and live somewhere nicer for a little while. I knew there was a reason I didn’t read this in September when it was gifted. Click for high-res photo
