Amid months of backstabbing, dull political skulduggery and Blair tinted spectacles, Brown's Falklands have arrived. With Miliband ensonced in the Dept of Global Warming and Darling doing his best Belgrano impression we have seen our Leader bounce in the polls. Brown's handling of our fellow island nation seem taken straight from the sombre pages of innit24. The handling of the Iceland situation was immoral, ill-advised and contrary to what Darling had said, but damn it made me proud! Out were was the dithering and endless itellectual debate; In were the gut decisions and rock solid stance. Undercutting the ever unpopular Darling and annoying the heck out of the Icelandic PM made this an ever better decision.
For the benefit of every rational voter in Britain I hope Brown has learnt the lesson that every leader must. At all times but especially those of turmoil it matters not what decisons you make, merely that you make them, and be damn well sure you stick to them. If you can instill a bit of national pride by pissing off tiny nations more indebted than Hicktown USA then even better!
It's time now for Brown to pull Britain together and cajole all the EU Nations as Schreiber has asked into finding a joint decsion. Then we can kiss and make up with Iceland (and Russia who's backing them) and bully the IMF into realising that short-term growth is not a substiute for sound economic fundamentals and sustained but steady progess. Vive sens! Franklin

So, who's going to buy Iceland?
Brown declares war on Iceland (cracking read!)
