I've posted before on the subject of a Number 10 Petition calling for a general election. That (apolitical) petition lost momentum after taking some weeks to get into the low four figures unfortunately but today Guido Fawkes has taken up support for a new, also apolitical, Petition demanding that Gordon Brown resign.
It has gone in the space of a few hours straight into four figures and looks like it will be the Big One, assuming of course that within the Number 10 machine there is not someone sat fiddling the figures. Ok maybe this requires a huge suspension of disbelief but hey ho.
So I recommend to you that you go directly to Please Go and sign up. The target is one million.
As before, please make sure you use your emails to pass this on.

Very Important Part 2
Just a bit more detail; remember that the Project and its Special People cannot fail, that is what drives the party machinery now.
Go to The Grauniad for a good write up.
Some paragraphs worth noting: "A third of the 279 party members have applied for a postal vote rather than turn up for the originally scheduled hustings, an unusually high number. A large postal vote means Gould (The Favoured One) could have won the selection before the hustings took place, although the inquiry launched last night will postpone any result."
And last week's goings on revisited: "Losing a selection before hustings takes place is a situation Susan Press is familiar with. In West Yorkshire earlier this month, Press, a popular local mayor, lost the Labour nomination for Calder Valley to Steph Booth, who is married to Tony Blair's father-in-law. Although Press won the vote at the hustings by 35 to 22, when the postal votes were counted Booth sealed the nomination. Nearly two-thirds of the voters had applied for a postal vote."
And the busted ballot box? Well according to Guido Fawkes that was in the "safe hands" of ZaNuLab HQ when opened and the slips torn up...
Er, not the "nasty tories" this time then?

Gordon Is Responsible
Just a reminder now that the Smear Scandal stories are dying off. The Great Leader told the Beeb precisely this: "I take full responsibility and the person responsible has resigned".
"Er, but not me. You see it wasn'ae me mister it was them big nasty boys that did it, they did it and then they ran away."
Ok, he didn't say the last bit. But we know that is exactly what he meant.

Very Important And May Get Lost
There is a disturbing trend within the ZaNuLab party machine to get what they want despite the wishes of the great unwashed (the rest of us). We have had the Glenrothes election rumours (For Example) and other stories about ZNL's great and good and their relatives being parachuted into safe seats. Now this story today (even washing up on the Beeb) which plenty will miss because it sounds too much like boring in-party squabbling. I suggest to you however that we keep the spotlight on this; elements of the ZNL machinery are quite ok about (apparently) tampering with ballot boxes and manipulating postal votes. This does not bode well.

Draper Departs But Unease re Computer
The link to the Mirror blog has been pulled; someone is unhappy that we could see photos of Mr Draper's PC being carried away in a shopping bag. Never mind, catch up on the story at Tory Bear. My, my, everyone is so sensitive at the moment. And the word "sorry" (albeit in an unsatisfactory conext) was prised out of the lips of McBroon. I suggest something big is happening.

Draper Departs
As Reported elsewhere (HT Guido and Tory Bear) our Derek has gone. Odd that his hard drive appears to be going for a trip too though? Thanks to the Mirror Photographer!

Rapier Struck (A Bit) of Blood
The BBC reports thus (but weakly): A Serious Breach.
Not front page online and coverage is not detailed; for example: "He (Maude) also asked about the terms of departure of Mr McBride and whether the e-mails were part of a "broader pattern of activity by other special advisers". In his reply, Sir Gus said Mr McBride was "no longer employed as a special adviser" and "has not received severance pay".
No word as to whether still a Civil Servant and or still in Downing Street, severance pay would not be an issue anyway in a straight resignation case, and nothing re the contentious issue of pension (again not relevant if not actually retired). The "broader pattern" question? er, nothing here.
"He (Sir Gus) said Mr Watson had "made his own position clear" and the prime minister had made clear "that he has been assured that no minister or political adviser other than Damian McBride had any knowledge of, or involvement in, the e-mails".
No knowledge or involvement? Maybe a bit of wriggle room if eg copied into emails but "did not receive or read them" but maybe something that will come back and bite bums. Fingers crossed.

Where Is Guido Fawkes?
Iain Dale says Guido's server has crashed due to heavy traffic; as per Twitter. So either a new revelation or a lot of new people tuning in. Or...

Anyone For An Election?
This petition has been out there for some time but no one mainstream will link to it for unknown reasons: GoToTheCountry

Aftermath
Is the McBroon to be forced further regarding his Special Adviser? With thanks to Argie at Guido's; paragraph 3.3 of the Ministerial Code says: “The responsibility for the management and conduct of special advisers, including discipline, rests with the Minister who made the appointment".
Nothing more to add, at the moment.
