Beer and Ballots

Well, it looks like Charles Kennedy's chances of keeping his job over the weekend are, unlike him, slim. I reckon by this time next week, he'll have resigned.

It was quite a press conference by all accounts. A leader of a party confessing to a drink problem, a problem that he had repeatedly denied, and then calling a leadership election, and insisting he would stand and win.

'Is he pissed?' I thought, 'yep he probably is' and I carried on what I was doing

Seems he likes to have a bit of a booze session. Who can blame him, I'd need to be drunk to lead the liberals. If I was him, I'd throw the towel in, go out and buy 20 Marlie Lights and get myself ensconced in the corner of some dingy Westminster bar, and sink a few pints before wobbling out into the night for a curry, then getting arrested on the way home for having a slash outside the gates of number 10 (Or even just reading out the names of the Iraqi War dead - its so easy to get arrested these days!)

Go on Chaz, you know you want to!
