Is this the change Gordon Brown meant?

Here comes Gordon Brown’s change

Councillor Ward sent me the above screencapture and put the idea in my head of what Gordon Brown truly meant by change.

During his final Prime Minister’s Questions, Tony Blair wore his trademark red tie – the most constantly visible symbol of his loyalties and party principles. And Mr Brown? He sported a colourful blue tie.

Yes, Mr Brown sat in his usual seat to Mr Blair’s left contrasting with his predecessor’s fashion sense, just hours before he effectively promised to contrast his policies with his predecessor’s.

Last week affirmations continued that if you voted Lib Dem you got Labour. In light of Mr Brown’s new outlook might I be rebellious and offer a new idea:

Vote Red, Go Blue!

I’m glad you were able to use the pic. Note Tony “Blur” whose face is now fading out of the picture…

By the way, the best link to use for me is the direct route to the Councillor part of my website, rather than the top-level URL. Thus http://www.horsted.john-ward.org.uk will take readers directly to the section of my site that is most relevant to what goes on here(!)

Thanks, Cllr Ward, I have now updated the link in the post.

It is interesting that you stated Tony “Blur”‘s face is now fading out of the picture. It is, of course, true, but he was only allowed to fade away after another bout of questioning over the Cash for Honours scandal.

The “Blur” face was an unintentional, but fortuitous, accident when I tried to capture the precise moment when GB was uncovered and before the cameras switched views.

Oh, and thanks for updating the link.
