SO Gordon 'the ditherer' Brown has decided 'in principle' to take part in the leaders' debate tirelessly campaigned for by Sky News, another Murdoch news anchor. That's a double victory for the Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, with his Sun paper ditching Labour, and 'handing' the Tories what could be certain victory in May 2010. And now, the leading Broadcaster Sky News have forced Gordon into taking part in 'live' TV debates with Clegg and Cameron. In principle, it's a break through. Our Prime minister has actually grown some balls, you might say. But as with anything done by the Labour Party - I expect U-Turns, or some kind of 'But'. There's always warning signs behind a Labour Party 'pledge.' He's said it, but knowing the Labour Party, they'll want the debate done on their terms. Welcomed, but by no means excited by the news. You can't help but be sceptical at what Gordon is up to on this one? Suffice to say, the words 'in principle,' only make it even more alarming. Only Gordon could create confusion, out of certainty...
