I have tried so hard all day. I have kept myself distracted. Fully immersed in meetings and preparing for my fringe tonight.
I forced myself not to look at the comment section on my blog – and then it happened, someone noticed and now I just can’t help myself.
Here goes – I told you so. I said weeks ago on my own blog and yesterday on this one that Brown would announce a withdrawal of troops and use emotive language with words like ‘our boys’ to do so, as a pre election stunt to rain on our parade.
And that’s just what it is, a cheap political stunt; as proven by the fact that he took only broadcast media with him. No newspapers or journalists to ask awkward questions.
I’m doing Simon Mayo just before David Cameron’s speech tomorrow. I always ‘mess up’ when I do the Mayo show.
