SUMMITERS: Miliband and Brown enjoy posturing on the world stage

THE more rapidly our nation declines the more vain our ruling elite becomes.

During the last 12 years, Labour has presided over the longest recession in history, an unprecedented rise in violent crime, the destruction of our national identity, two unnecessary wars, a breakdown in social cohesion, a collapse in educational standards and the degradation of our environment.

Yet the socialist politicians responsible are hitting new heights of self-importance. Far from showing contrition they become increasingly extrava- gant in their rhetoric and grandiose in their scheming. They cannot deal with benefit fiddlers or teenage yobs but they have an array of utopian plans for combating climate change, world poverty and international terrorism.

Gordon Brown is a classic example of this pattern. He has proved one of the worst prime ministers in history, a bullying, neurotic incompetent who has ruined the public finances. Yet he arrogantly struts from one summit to another, urging us to cheer him on a global mission.

Only last month, in a typically vainglorious move, he described the countdown to the forth- coming Copenhagen summit on climate change as “50 days to save the planet”. Such absurd language is indicative of the mindset of the Left-wing politician, aiming to portray the summit’s participants as heroic crusaders battling to rescue Earth.
 
Depressingly much of the media takes this bombast seriously. The Danish gabfest is a monument to political conceit. Its only achievement will be to give  control freaks more power over our lives. Brown’s deadline for planetary salvation is completely arbitrary, as if we are all doomed if politicians do not reach a deal by a fixed date.
