Harman hires new spin doctor

Still smarting from the caning she received after the flak jacket incident, Harriet "Role-Play" Harman has sacked her dumbkopff press advisor. Having been caught squarely in the media's crosshairs, Harman has wisely decided to bring in someone with a bit more savvy when it comes to the sensitive issue of covering up her government's woeful record on, well, just about everything really. The new encumbant charged with preventing Harman dropping any more gigantic bollocks is Lyn Bryan - former press secretary to Margeret Beckitt and David Milliband. It transpires that the outgoing aide is actually the wife of another Labour MP with, it appears, no experience of PR or media relations. In other words, an incestuous appointment at taxpayers expense of someone wholly inappropriate to the role. Hmmm...where have I heard that before?

What is bizzare about all this is why Harman needs to employ a professional to tell her that parading around the streets of her constituency wearing a stab proof vest and surrounded by burly police officers doesn't exactly instill confidence in the electorate. Is she really that fucking stupid?
