Scottish National Party Beats Labour in Glasgow East!
The conservative resurgence in Great Britain continued on Thursday as the Scottish National Party humiliated Gordon Brown’s Labour Party in Glasgow’s open seat in a whopping 22% swing from the last election.
This is the second crushing defeat for the liberal Labour Party in two months after a historic trouncing in local London elections in May, the so-called “Black Friday” election. Read more here.
Now we know why Barack Obama did not stop in Great Britain on his tour of Great Expectations. They do not seem to like liberals there anymore.
Said Victor John Mason of the Scottish National party: “Three weeks ago, the SNP predicted a political earthquake. This is off the Richter scale. The tremors will be felt all the way to Westminster. Tonight we have removed the dead hand of Labour control.” Right Pundits notes that finally Boswell has his revenge on Samuel Johnson.
The seat lost was supposedly the 25th safest parliamentary seat for Labour, an open seat after the incumbent saw the writing on the wall.
The Scottish National Party is generally considered a center-left party in Great Britain whose driving issue is Scottish independence. It is an amalgamation of the Scottish Party and National Party which historically were both left and right of center respectively. Their victory indicates the utter disarray and voter dissatisfaction with Gordon Brown’s Labour Party.
Expect that Great Britain will have a new Prime Minister by the end of the year after an early general election is called. In it Labour will be routed in a Conservative Party landslide. It is only a matter of time now. Get acquainted with the dashing future Prime Minister David Cameron. Unlike Obama, Cameron has a brilliant track record and is known for intellectual depth on the issues.

Conservativism is really making a comeback in Europe. Apparently, their flirtation with liberalism didn’t quite fit the bill.

“Now we know why Barack Obama did not stop in Great Britain on his tour of Great Expectations. They do not seem to like liberals there anymore.”
That is an understatement. They are systematically destroying our once great nation.
The children of Albion are stirring.

I admittedly know little about politics in England. Does this mean that England is about to embark upon 8 years of darkness and misery, the way we have? What about Tony Blair? Is he Labour? Oh, but he’s been kidnapped by terrorists–that’s right. While Obama’s been traipsing around the world, saying that we had ought to make up with the terrorists, they’ve done gone and kidnapped Tony Blair. What’s the Children of Albion? Are they albinos? I can’t tell from your comment whose side you are on. I’m gonna google that. Hang on a minute….
Underground poetry? Something to do with Blake? Didn’t he marry his cousin, or something like that? So, when you say “they” are destroying our country, I still don’t get it. Is “they” the dirty liberal Children of Albion, or is “they” the conservatives the Children of Albion are stirring to fight against? Please explain. In the meantime, here is my favorite poem by a beat poet:
Snail Poem
Make my grave shape of heart so like a flower be free aired
& handsome felt,
Grave root pillow, tung up from grave & wigle at
blown up clowd.
Ear turnes close to underlayer of green felt moss & sound
of rain dribble thru this layer
down to the roots that will tickle my ear.
Hay grave, my toes need cutting so file away
in sound curve or
Garbage grave, way above my head, blood will soon
trickle in my ear -
no choise but the grave, so cat & sheep are daisey
turned.
Train will tug my grave, my breath hueing gentil vapor
between weel & track.
So kitten string & ball, jumpe over this mound so
gently & cutely
So my toe can curl & become a snail & go curiousely
on its way.

at least read good poetry
Dulce et decorum est by Wilfred Owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime. -
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, -
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

I just got back from the good ole UK, AKA, the mother country as some of there call themselves when referencing the U.S.
It is now common wisdom that Brown is on borrowed time. Brown and his proxies are still trying to blame Tony Blair for their troubles by constantly referring to Blair as Bush’s puppy. Brown refuses to realize that the citizens of Great Britian have moved on and are very concerned about their economy and the growing Islamist radicalism that is infecting their country.
Brown is history.

“Now we know why Barack Obama did not stop in Great Britain on his tour of Great Expectations. They do not seem to like liberals there anymore.”
I just read today that Obama is in England.
See, this is what I just hate about you people. You are just a bunch of liars. You just lie, you just say ANYTHING, it does not matter if it is the truth or not.
You make me sick. You are not interested in any real debate, any real give and take, any real effort to find the truth. You have this agenda and you will say anything and do anything to advance it, it does not matter whether it is the truth or not.
I just don’t trust anything at all that I read on this site any more. You have lost all credibility with me.
I am going to make a concerted effort never to look at any of the garbage you put up on this site again. This is nothing but trash put forward but a bunch of people who have no real arguments, so you just say anything. And then you hope that people will be stupid enough and gullible enough to fall for it.
How about a few disclaimers? But WAIT, if you did that it would be a list so long you’d not have room for anything else.
Good bye.

All of us at “Right Pundits” will miss you. What do you think about the idea of changing our name to “Pundits.” ?
