Darling makes sense backwards

Melissa Kite has a quite brilliant post up on Three Line Whip about the nonsense government ministers have been spouting as they attempt to defend the Prime Minister.

Mr Darling goes on: “He has a very clear sense of direction where he believes we as a country ought to go.”

Again, he misses the point which is surely that this sentence would make much more sense if it was turned the other way around: Britain has a very clear sense of the direction it believes Gordon Brown ought to go.

Do read the whole thing.
