Blog on Rue Britannia
I'm not posting Rue Britannia here anymore as she now has her own domain: http://www.ruebritannia.co.uk/
I enjoy putting my thoughts to pictures, but as with most cartoonists, it’s a pretty solitary activity and what we crave the most is an audience (a few bob along the way would help, but that can come later when RueB gets snatched-up and syndicated... I wish!). I'll be adding other stuff to the site, such as working drawings, stuff about me and downloadables soon, but in the meantime please help me get that audience by:

More Tories to defect to Labour?

As rumours abound that more Tories are being lined up to defect to Labour - perhaps at the start of next week's Conservative party conference, one can't help but wonder at exactly what set of convictions our 'conviction politician' Gordon Brown has at hand to sell to people that were once so diametrically opposed to so much of what the Labour Party once stood for.

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.Labels: 25% council tax discount, Bournemouth, cartoon, David Miliband, foreign secretary, Gordon Brown, Iraq, Labour Party conference, troop withdrawal, winning the peace

Gordon gets on with the job

At his first Labour Party conference speech as leader,Mr Brown made no mention of any election in his speech, has so far refused to rule out an autumn poll.
Earlier in a BBC interview ahead of his speech he had said he was "getting on with the job".

Don't watch that... WATCH THIS!

Gordon attempts to divert some of the attention that the whole Northern Rock affair is attracting by vilifying easy target Robert Mugabe; a national leader who makes anyone look like a paragon of financial acumen by comparison.
