Flailing Labour Party Struck By World's Most Obvious Analogy

To Britain, where beleaguered Prime Minister Gordon Brown just cannot catch a break: "The launch of a new Labour poster campaign was interrupted by a car crash close to where cabinet members were giving their speeches." Apparently a Volkswagen Golf tried to avoid garbage truck and wound up hitting a bus shelter. In perhaps the only bit of good news the Labour party will receive during the duration of The Race To Run Knifecrime Island, "the Golf's driver, unemployed Omed Rashid, 27, said he would be voting Labour next Thursday." Labour strategist/Business Secretary Peter Mandelson denied that the crash was a metaphor for the party's campaign, but that's probably only accurate in that no one was injured and the whole thing did not end with a gigantic fireball.
