Brown admits that he doesn't really know what he's doing..

You've noticed that tangible air of perturbation that has been hovering like a summer rain cloud over the UK for the past few months. It got to you. On an evening you can't think straight; your head is a barrage of fervid thoughts and questions that come rocking towards you like a steam train in the night. Questions such as: Who's running this country?, and, What the hell's happening here?

Sometimes it gets so bad that you don't sleep. Your palms get so sweaty that your dog or your lover won't even let you touch them. And when you try to explain how you feel they just look away or say that they don't understand.

Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad but, secretly, you know that they see it too. They're just scared to say that they feel the same way as you do because that would mean that everybody would be admitting that things are out of control. And we certainly can't be having that. There'd be panic on the streets of London, Dublin, Dundee, and Humberside...

Don't worry, you're not alone. Westmonster has the answers that you seek. According to Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, England is currently being effectively governed by (drum roll please): Nobody.

That's right. On a Radio 5 interview this morning, Gordon stated that he was "still learning" how to rule the country, and that the whole business of being Prime Minister was no more than a question of trial and error. Just like learning to use a potty when you're a child. Which means that, figuratively speaking, Gordon has crapped on the floor.

If nobody else finds this as disturbing as we do then perhaps we need to be shot. Is it not true though that saying that your 'still learning' is the same as saying that you don't really know what your doing?

It's easy to mock Brown and his bumbling attitude towards being and existence, but if he goes around saying things like this then it's no wonder he's getting an incessant kicking by the media.

If only the rest of us could be so lax and get away with it...
