Ming's Dynasty
You won't catch me giving any encouragement to a disgusting display like this.
Digusting seems rather a strong word to use Jonathan. All they are doing is making a political point in a humourous and irreverant way which is surely the essence of political blogging. I don't think it's an unreasonable point of view to argue that the jockeying for position for the next leadership election is already under way, or that the reason some of the young turks supported Ming was because they want that leadership election to happen in five years not ten. I think yours is a great blog (it's on my top 10 as it happens) but you need to lighten up a bit!
Since apologies. Given the contents of your blog over the past week I must have somehow managed to get the idea that you were an uncritical supporter of Sir Ming ;-)

Yikes! This is using the same skin as my journal.

As a wise man once said, it's a pity there is not a typeface called "ironic" that you can use in cases like this to avoid being misunderstood.
