Elvis Shakespeare blogland

Welcome to Elvis Shakespeare blogland where the weather is intermittently overcast & gloomy with occasional showers of brightness. This is where we rant against the iniquities of life (but promise never to metion the damn trams).

Labour (sic) Party Leadership Race
2010-07-01
Soon be time for another election battle when the ex-socialist party, L.A.B.O.U.R (to a disco beat)decides who is going to lead them into the future.
The choices are: middle-class ex public schoolboy, middle-class ex public schoolboy, middle-class ex public schoolboy, middle-class ex public schoolboy or Diane Abbott.
The Bill & Ben brothers seem to be little weeds and as for the unfortunatley monikered Ed (his wife would be an excellent candidate but, hey, she's too busy looking after babies and pensions according to hubby), he has decided that what the party needs is a lurch to the right if his recent immigration comments are anything to go by (stopped short of saying shoot 'em as they arrive but basically claims - despite two reports from independent bodies recently stating the exact oppostie - Polish folk are taking indigenous Brit's jobs (would somebody please explain who these folk are as, irony of ironies, they call them anglo-saxons which would seem to indicate some sort of dual heritage in the first place (thank you Mr Billy Bragg).
Mr Burnham appears to be a rugby league prop forward with little distinguishing features which leads us back to Ms Abbott.
For God's sake, those of you out there eligible to vote, put your X next to Diane Abbott's name and try to give the Labour (sic) Party back a wee bit of its soul.
The Future Is Contradictory
2010-05-27
Greetings British folk and welcome to the new walking, talking oxymoron that is CLEGGERON. This mythical beast is now walking among us made up of a Liberal head and Conservative arse (Liberal:not bound by authority or traditional orthodoxy. Conservative: averse to change.). What next? An alliance bwetween UKIP and The British Communist Party?
Nice acceptance speech by the head though. More abstract nouns and intensifiers than I have ever heard in a political speech (We want very freedom seemed to be the gist). Interesting that the arse couldnt be arsed and left it to Gruppenfuhrer Teresa May, whose opening line was We want a strong Britain with strong people. Sadly, during the 5 minutes I listened, there were no offers of free gym membership or buy one dumb-bell, get one free offers. Actually, that might be a great slogan for the coalition: buy one dumb-bell, get one free.
I give it 3 months tops.
Upcoming Elections
2010-03-29
Greetings to the first ever Elvis Shakespeare blog.
Due to the fact that I am an old man, I can remember the Tories under T*****er. Unfortunately, I am no longer a youth desiring a new DVD player, but the owner of a wee shop myself; hence when the inevitable riots which will follow a Tory victory arrive, I will be barricaded inside my shop trying to stop youths, such as my former self, from smashing the windows in an attempt to liberate my stock. The riots of 1981 were a direct result of the Tories coming to power, slashing public spending and cutting taxes for the rich. Guess what the Tories are campaigning on this forthcoming election? YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Do not vote for the bastards.
