As Jeremy Vagina looks into the Abyss

Of all the poisoned chalices to be passed by a much-loved colleague — Should the government allow the venal and highly self-interested News Corp to dominate the British news agenda by giving them control over a significant share of the news outlet? — the BSkyB decision could not have been more sensitive, especially when the boss is so obviously in lerve with the Testarossa – Rebekah the Larrikin – accepting her invitations; inviting her round, too, from time to time for quite intimate gatherings. She probably loves the intellectual stimulation, which she doesn’t get from hubby, Charlie ‘Bonker’ Brooks.

It all smells pretty nasty, Young Vagina, so chuck away the nose peg, and send Ol’ Rumplechops and his billions packing. If you don’t, you’ll look as big a fool as your boss does just now over his ‘loyalty’ to Andy C.

And you don’t want that, do you?

You wouldn’t have to be Nostradamus, or even Mystic Meg to predict plausibly that Gordon Brown won’t be running the country next summer, nor Harriet, nor Jacqui, nor Milli, nor any other pretenders. The Murdochs have been reading the polls too, and they don’t think Labour will win the election. Nor do they like to back losers, so they’ve grandly told the world today, through the editorially independent Bore-away SUN that they think Gordon and Labour are a pair of busted flushes.

Having, with customary irritating hubris, taken responsibility for getting New Labour elected in ’97, the Shag-Rag makes no apologies for having persuaded their readers to vote for a party who they now claim has done bugger all - listing their failures in a garbled, Sun-style, bullet-pointed rant, put out by its new young editor and World Big-Brother expert, Dominic Mohan.

To this was added specific support for David Cameron – not very surprising, given that young Dave’s head spinner (still disgracefully and dangerously in place at Central Office) is Andy Coulson, notorious purveyor of non-truth and serious amnesiac, who was a Screws editor as well as confidant and assistant to the Testarossa, Rebekah (Wade) Brooks, CEO of Murdoch’s British papers.

Even if the ‘readers’ of the daily ShagRag could be bothered to read its puerile piffling editorials, they’re not going to be swayed by anything it has to say. That’s not why they buy the Sun. And Young David should stop letting Andy persuade him otherwise. It’s like trying to bribe the voters with a pair of Page 3 tits, and it demeans a grown-up political party. And PS, Dave…… keeping Andy on the team may just make Rupert feel he’s lot more important than he is.
