Hattersley in Suicide Warning
Question to Roy Hattersley on the radio yesterday (as quoted in today's super soaraway Sun)
Interviewer: Should John Reid become next leader of the Labour Party?
Hattersley: If he does I will shoot myself.
I know exactly what you're expecting me to write now, so I needn't bother. God, I'm soooo predictable!
He would probably miss. I wouldn't make the same mistake if I was aiming at him. Then again even Lzee Harvey Oswald would struggle to aim dead centre with all that phelm flying around...

Finally Reid has a use!

ReplyDeleteCould we not get him to shoot some one else?
ReplyDeleteAnother good reason for Reid - get away from Tub of Lard platitudes and humbug
ReplyDeleteHattersley has his good side you know. But hey I am an old Crosland/Jenkins/Healey Labour person, what do I know! ;)
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll say it:
ReplyDeletePromises, promises.
After you with the gun then Roy
ReplyDeleteI used to detest Hattersley with a vengeance in my misguided youth.
ReplyDeleteHaving read some of his excellent attacks on the Blairistas, I have to say, give the devil his due.
As with Michael Meacher, anyone who his prepared not to toe the party line is worth a second look.
And I could have seen one of his last performances at the Edinburgh Book Festival on Monday!
ReplyDeleteLast night I heard Michael Gove speaking favourably about blogs - including this eminent one. He even reads mine!
How the f*** can Fattersley possibly blow his brain cell out?
ReplyDeleteGot it! Head down the muzzle of a 105mm cannon and depleted uranium shell. No, I'm not convinced, sorry.
Better Reid and deid?
ReplyDeleteBloody good picture
