Has anyone seen our Prime Minister?

Is it just me or has the so-called ‘iron’ chancellor turned into cotton wool leader ever since he got the keys to number 10?

It is absolutely shameful that as the uproar surrounding Megrahi’s release rages our PM is nowhere to be seen. However, he has found the time to write to congratulate our cricket team for winning the Ashes. And no doubt he’s been on the phone to his good mate Simon Cowell congratulating him on the new series of the X Factor. Previously he issued this statement regarding Britain’s Got Talent:

“I hope Susan Boyle is okay because she is a really, really nice person and I think she will do well. I spoke to Simon Cowell last night and to Piers Morgan and wanted to be sure that she was okay.”

What the hell?!!

I’m sure the families and friends of the 270 victims of the Lockerbie bombing are all really, really nice people too, Gordon, so how about showing a bit of concern for them?

This whole Libyan affair absolutely reeks.

Apparently Prince Andrew has now cancelled a planned trip there. Firstly, I didn’t know Libya had a golf course – but secondly, what the hell was he doing going anywhere near there?

And what the hell was Gordon Brown doing shaking hands with Gaddafi at the G8 summit last month? And Lord Mandelson sliming all over Gaddafi’s son on various yachts?

Apparently, if you are an ‘evil-doer’ with an oil field then small matters such as the murder of 270 citizens can eventually be over-looked.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a leader with balls? Someone who actually had the courage to tell it as it is. But maybe that’s precisely the problem? Maybe the truth is so stomach-churning it can’t be told.

Never mind Gordon, I’m sure Piers will have another juicy celebrity story for you to comment on soon…
