To be honest I do find that hilarious, albeit on a completely trivial level. My dislike for Ed Balls is as intense as for any politician I could think of and I take great delight in the fact that not only was he searching Twitter for his own name to see what people had to say about him, he was careless enough to accidentally tweet his own name instead of search. Fully deserved mockery in my opinion.

That of course takes nothing away from the terrorist attack that was attempting to destabilise elections in Pakistan (I guess that's what you're referring to?) - but it's nobody else's fault that Ed Balls chose that particular day to demonstrate his apparent idiocy.
It wasn't, actually - I was thinking more of another case of a loose tongue costing someone dearly.

I wouldn't have made the connection myself but for an "on this day" Facebook post last week!

In the same way we've all forgotten about Natalie Bennett's classic brain fade, Thornberry's flag tweet and Liam Byrne's 'run out of money' note?
Not forgetting the Broon's bigotgate.

At least the hapless Brown was booted out of office not even 4 weeks after that. Liam Byrne is still hanging around and Thornberry has even been promoted to Shadow Foreign sec. If Labour had any sense it would have shown them the door. But it hasn't. And we wonder why their support is dropping like a stone.

I'd have thought my coded posts alluding to it should have resonated!

Anyone know where the hapless Boris Johnson has got to?

He was out campaigning with Andy Street, the West Midlands mayor candidate.
