Welsh Windbag Supports One-Eyed Scottish Idiot


Former Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock has offered current Party leader Gordon Brown his support.

Lord Kinnock, an outspoken critic of the House of Lords who famously reneged on his promise never to accept a peerage, told Sky News: "I'm absolutely certain that Gordon is the best man to take us through the recession, which is by far the most dominant issue facing the country and on people's minds.

"Secondly, it won't change either because the so-called rebels are very few in number, not substantial and they lack the most critically important feature in democratic politics - what Churchill called intestinal fortitude - guts.

"If they had any they would have made their identities known before now. They would be presenting alternatives both in terms of leadership, and even more importantly, in terms of ideas and strategies to combat recession."

Kinnock was nicknamed the Welsh Windbag by Private Eye magazine and a sizable chunk of the British population. Gordon Brown was famously branded a "one-eyed Scottish idiot" by TV personality Jeremy Clarkson.


Completely coincidentally the day before Neil Kinnock's flowery words of support his wife Glenys was elevated to the House of Lords so she could take up a Cabinet role.

With Kinnock's backing Brown really must be doomed.
