Brown blackout is good news

In recent weeks, with Brown on holiday and not clogging the airwaves with his wooden delivery of tractor stats, I've found myself relatively relaxed and at peace with the world.

Might the Machievalian world of Fondlebum decide that, hey, we can silence right-wing bloggers by shutting the fcuk up?

Were that to happen, you could be sure that what was not taking place on the media stage was certainly taking place behind the scenes.

Which is worse?
