The arrogance of politicians
Gordon Brown isn't alone in making such grand annunciations and he'll not be the last.
Keep a watchful eye out for the next politician attempting to woo us with promises of a bright and untroubled future... whoever it's going to be will be prey to the same deluded arrogance all too many politicians suffer and is probably penning their speeches even as we speak, so I doubt we'll be long waiting.

New Labour's Current Priorities
I'm struck by the lack of advice to the very people who are going to end up paying the bill for the 25 year long feeding frenzy engendered by the likes of Alan Greenspan, as chairman of the Federal Reserve 'till 2006.
Everyone at Westminster seems to be keeping their heads down until various courses of action becomes screamingly obvious, at which point they will ALL jump in and say it was what they'd been suggesting all along.
New Labour have their minds on something of far more importance than the slide of the UK into recession and possibly worse... Who's going to lead them into defeat at the next election!!
PS: It's been a while since I put time aside to make any comment, but today is the day (well night really). Thanks to everyone who has nudged my conscience periodically to urge me continue. I will work on a pictorial inclusion but I didn't have the time here, so in the meantime, TQG, GB, Helga, et al... Cheers!

Gordon works to preserve Liberty
Gordon Brown has backed the limited use of intercept evidence in court, after an independent review. In parliament he spoke of the dilemma we face as a free society: "that of preserving our liberties and the rule of law, while at the same time keeping our nation safe and secure".
Will the patient survive the treatment when it threatens so many liberties?.

US most important UK ally - Brown
Just a quick pencil one today brought on by Gordon Brown's speech at the Lord Mayor of London's banquet where he said Britain's "most important" relationship is with the US. Of course it is. We sold the family jewels to survive the Twentieth century and if we want to play a part on the world stage we have to deal with New Rome accordingly. In the meantime the EU federalisation keeps tapping at the back door.
Would he be saying the same thing if we had been allowed the EU Referendum we were promised?

Too much on at the moment
Hi good people, and thanks for looking in. As you might have picked up, Rue Britannia is a labour of love until I work out what to do with her. At the moment I have a body of work that needs my every waking hour, so unfortunately RueB will have to go by the wayside for a bit.
I'll try to post something, perhaps some scans from the working drawings I do, but the world will have to try to keep turning without my commentary .
Your loyalty is HUGELY appreciated, so please continue to come back and see what I post. Don't forget to recommend RueB to your friends.
I've also turned on the 'comments' function in the hope that you'll add your thoughts on the work that I've already done and the issues I've covered. Many of them are still hot. President Musharraf seems to have changed his tune a bit and is reluctantly sidling up to meet the expectations of the democratic world. It's a hard job he faces and he seems to be rising to the occasion. Let's hope he delivers.
PS: The saint who helped me out with the late night consultation on Excel... THANKS LOADS... you know who you are :)

al-Qaeda recruiting from youth organisations
Perhaps Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5 since April was pitching for a larger slice of the defence budget pie by inferring that he's spending so much money chasing Russian and Chinese spies that he can't fully monitoring at least 2000 extremists posing a threat to UK national security.
He expressed concern that extremists were methodically and intentionally targeting vulnerable young people and children.

The other victim in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes
The list of failings of officers at so many levels in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes beggars belief. However it is overshadowed by the shameful attempts to cast blame on Menezes himself.
We need a police force that is free and enabled to do it's job. They can only do that when they have the faith and trust of the British people. Those people that decided to effect a cover-up and then proceed to defend their actions rather than accept responsibility for mistakes, cause more damage to that cause than any other agency could. THEY are the real villains here.

Can y'tell waddidis yet?
This is a detail of the larger cartoon I am currently working on. When you get into the area that I hope to tackle on this one (you'll have to wait to find out), there's a fine line to tread between too much and not enough information.
In addition, getting background on a subject can take almost as long as the drawing itself... bear with me
Unless it's a tour de force from a recognised and respected editorial cartoonist, people won't dwell on a cartoon trying to discover its meaning. The cartoon's got to be digestible in a heart beat. In this respect Khalil Bendib the Arab - American cartoonist is a genius. Whether you agree with his view or not, he has a way of seeing a situation in what seems like a screamingly obvious way, but only once he's pointed it out. This one is an excellent example

Population 77 million in 2051
This is what I'm working on, but pressure of work (the paid variety), plus indecision over exactly what to put as text prevent me from posting a finished work today. They can take quite a few hours, and I've put no effort into finding a publisher yet, so it's a labour of love still.
I take emailed comments regarding the impact of colour and the absence of RueB seriously and I tend to agree. Time has been the governing factor. I'll ensure that when the finished work appears, it will be in full colour.
I was of two minds as to whether I should let you see this as it is, but I know some people like to see the working drawings. Often the workings have something about them that's lost in the finished piece... Let's see if that's true with this.

Ken Livingstone's Little Daydream
I wonder if Ken or Boris heard this story and what might have gone through their minds.
God forgive me, but the attack of sacred monkeys on the deputy mayor of Delhi caught my attention in all the worst ways and I just had to shoehorn it into something.
I wanted to label the monkeys but time ran out.... any ideas?

Stop and search more young black people?
The outgoing leader of the National Black Police Association (NBPA) Keith Jarret has rightly been criticised for suggesting police stop and search more young black people to tackle rising gun crime. With more and more of our civil liberties being eroded, the last thing we need is an influential member of a significant minority group almost welcoming the return of the sus laws.
Have we not enough problems with an increasingly alienated young Muslim population, without bringing this into the mix inadvertently?

Will Gordon Brown serve us up to the EU?
Having handed so many of the UK's sovereign powers to the EU already, you'd think that they might have had enough, but their appetite seems insatiable.
Things may be OK and all lovely and friendly now, but I believe a day will come when the European accord fails and more British blood will have to be spilled to claw them back and we'll rue the day we didn't fill the streets DEMANDING our EU Referendum. Read a history book for chissakes!
So as the talks start in Lisbon to reach agreement on the EU Reform Treaty, will Gordon Brown serve us up to the EU as he seems to have promised, or will he, (as a smarter guy than I suggested*) find a semi credible reason, get the arse with the other members over some perceived failing at the talks and take us off the menu? He's got those red lines to fall back on.
Or with the fuss that's still going on in the kitchen following the past turbulent weeks, will Broon tough it out and hope the electorate forgets about it all by the time he calls the next election? Let's hope not.

Sir Menzies Campbell
I intended to only blog once a day here, but the resignation of Sir Menzies Campbell couldn't be allowed to go unmentioned, so here's a quickie.
At least once he could see the knives were out, he had the presence of mind to spare himself the ignominy that Kennedy and Thorpe were subjected to.
Lib Dem seems to be acquiring a bit of a history of discarded leaders. This business of choosing leaders that they subsequently find unsuitable seems to becoming a bit of a habit.

Gordon Brown... Hang your head in shame.
As you could tell from my previous posting on 03/10/07 - Troop withdrawal from Iraq, I'm not a great supporter of the Iraq Invasion. Mostly on account of having been given bogus information as to why we were going there and the fact that we'd (the West) collectively maintained Saddam Hussain in power in the first place.
Gordon Brown had the ear of Tony Blair at the time, so for him to now present himself as an agent of deliverance in Iraq sticks in my craw when he's as guilty as Blair himself.
I believed our going in was utterly wrong from the get go, but once we'd taken that step and opened the Pandora's Box that is Iraq, it was our duty to defend it and its population from
- The insurgents/factions that were guaranteed to come about
- Western business interests that were also guaranteed to descend and feed on the carcass of that beleaguered nation
In my humble opinion we have failed in fulfilling both those responsibilities.
So as we leave, do we do so with even the slightest hint of shame? No, we insult both our own troops and the local Iraqis who supported us in our hubris and folly; provided of course they assisted us for a full year, because everybody knows, you don't get called a collaborator and shot dead in the street until you've served a full 365 days.

And now they've got their eyes on Iran... What the hell is the end game? Hell itself?

Well they say all's fair in love and war, and in these days of consensus politics a good idea is a good idea irrespective of its provenance. The argument, "But I thought of it first!" may have held water in bygone days, but it has no place on the floor of the Commons.

WYSIWYG Verdict on Gordon Brown's climb down
There’s plenty of speculation about the reasons and the wisdom of Gordon Brown’s decision to stand down from the idea of an autumn election, but he seems to forget that whatever spin he and his lackeys come up with, we the public will generally base our view on what we see.
What we saw was Gordon Brown paralyzed in either fright or indecision. Not what we look for in a leader.

Election Fever?... Election Coma!
The Nation is seized by a frenzy of indifference.
As we approach the end of the Conservative Party Conference, all this conjecture about whether or not Gordon Brown's gonna 'name the day' is failing to raising the interest of the electorate. I believe the main problem is everybody's crowded onto the centre ground, how can an opposition of any description do its job and how can they truly differentiate themselves to the electorate?

Troop withdrawal from Iraq
Yeah, it's great that some more of our boys are coming home, but what the hell are they leaving behind?. The reasons we were given for the invasion were bogus and suspect from the off, and even now when they're coming home we're yet to be given a credible explanation. Brown is the last person to expect that from.
I'm stuck, so help me out. We had no business there; certainly not for the reasons we were offered. We should leave Iraq to determine its own future, but having done what we have, are we abandoning Iraq or cutting loose before we make things worse? Or God forbid, buggering off because the yanks have already had all the 'good stuff'?

How stupid does David Miliband think we are?
Yesterday at Labour's annual conference in Bournemouth, the foreign secretary David Miliband talked about winning the peace in Iraq. Did I miss something, because I don’t recall seeing an end to the war.
Just because the people killing our troops and innocent Iraqi civilians no longer wear uniforms doesn’t stop it being a war.
We sent our boys into Iraq masked by a smoke screen of half truths, erroneous assumptions and spin... why would we expect the way we withdraw them be any different?

When we withdraw, will we be leaving things better than when we found them in Iraq? I wonder how many returning troops would like to tell Gordon Brown to stick his 25% council tax discount somewhere dark and warm and instead be told the real reason they had to watch friends and comrades die.
