Jobs for the boys. Jobs for them in Europe (unelected) and jobs for them in Britain (unelected). It ought to be utterly sickening but we’ve got so used to grabbing our ankles and taking it…

Mr Mandelson has had a chequered career in office. Previous Cabinet terms have ended with unfortunate resignations due to being beheaded by angry villagers, burnt at the stake, wrapped in chains and thrown to the bottom of the Volga and, in one case, nuked from orbit.

Another good old Socialist principle in action - don’t bother with the niceties of democracy such as requiring that people have to be elected as MPs before they can be appointed as government ministers. Just appoint whichever sharp-suited thug will be most effective in progressing “The Project”.

The problem is that the indigenous population of England have been too tolerant of such abuse of their traditions by evil people who care only for their own squalid interests. It is time we had them out and returned to decency.

16 months ago, bruiser Brown surrounded himself with a younger less experienced cabinet who, he thought then, would not be able to resist his top down style. There weren’t many who had the ability to stand up to him. A lot has changed.

Now weakened, Brown needs bigger beasts and has chosen well if he has treachery in mind. Mandelson is the ideal person to fix Brown once and for all - and I don’t mean that in a helpful way.

Whilst I did not ever hold Brown and his Muppetts in high regard, now it’s hard not to laugh.

Can our Dear Leader not see what will be obvious to most?

Bringing Mandy back - an act of desperation from Brown?

And Maggie Beckett?

Has the guy flipped and succumbed to a death wish?

Or are these moves a bit deeper than that? If Brown now accepts that he’s finished in 2010, he’ll run a scorched earth policy to make sure the Tories have to start their term from a wasteland.

And these are just the people to help him do it.

This government manages to treat the electorate on a worsening basis every day. With Blair destroying swathes of established process and history through his Lords reforms to Brown re-including the disgraced Mandelson into our everyday lives.

Why don’t they just tax us all some more, increase our debt and waste the money until the time comes that they can write their memoirs and become non -exec directors for large US banks.

Apologies for the spelling, although Milliband is still a scabby little gnome.

Do you not need to be an MP to be part of the Goverment - you know, elected and all that type of stuff?

A foolish move by brown as insult to the democratic election proces aside, I can see Mandleson elequently and skillfully running rings around Brown & co, before stabbing him in the back in an attempt to become PM. Hopefully he will dispach of that scabby little gnome Milliband first.
