The puling coward, Blair, having led his country into war against another sovereign state, is now leaving office before peace has been delivered.  He showed his true colours this week by abasing himself before the Pope: his hopes of being president of Europe dashed, he now has his heart set on sainthood.

Blair's messiah complex has led him to proclaim his desire to 'heal the scar that is Africa' (reminiscent of Michael Jackson's 'Heal the World' phase.  This monumental arrogance and folly is shared by the surly, Caledonian minister's son that will replace him on Wednesday.

Unlike Odin, Gordon Brown lost the sight of one eye, but has gained no wisdom (he lost his in a rugby accident) and he is wedded to the perfidious idea of Christian Socialism -  the wealth of one man is the cause of another's poverty.  Britain now faces an unspecified sentence under an unelected Prime Minister who will not be satisfied until he has ripped billions from the pockets of hapless taxpayers to shower on the rotten and corrupt fiefdoms of Africa.

If past performance is anything to go by, Brown's largesse will ensure that purveyors of Learjets, Mercedes Benz and the shinier and more vulgar Rolexes will do nicely, but not one empty stomach will be filled.

Meanwhile, back in England, after ten years of the odd mixture of Christian cant and Stalinist grandstanding (the Millenium Dome, the 2012 Olympics, The War in Iraq), one in five children leaves school illiterate.  So much for 'education, education, education'.

This feral underclass is now tearing itself apart on the dirty, shabby streets of England (six died in gang violence this weekend alone).  If Brown in his pernicious quest for Christian glory wants to heal the scars of a corrupt and poverty stricken country, then he need only look outside his front door.
