December 17, 2007 (LPAC)--Coverage in Rupert Murdoch's London Times and the Daily Torygraph today tends to confirm Lyndon LaRouche's assessment that these political forces could be orchestrating a collapse of the government of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. In particular, were the pound sterling to crash, as the Torygraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has predicted in recent articles, Brown's demise--and an ensuing political upheaval--would certainly become likely.

Fascist Rupert Murdoch's London Times revels today in an episode last week, in which a commitment to attend a House of Commons event caused Brown to miss most of an EU treaty signing ceremony in Lisbon, and the banquet which followed it, leaving Foreign Secretary David Miliband to stand in his place. The Times gleefully depicts Brown's "humiliating position," arriving at the tail end of the ceremony, which he "cold-shouldered," and was then left "firmly in the EU doghouse." This was a terrible snub, the Times says, but typical of the "standard mess-up" seen in the Brown government.

A second Times article trumpets recent poll results showing the Tories with a 13-point lead over Labour, their strongest position in 15 years. At the same time, Brown's personal ratings have fallen to an all-time low of 26%, just above the lowest point reached by Tony Blair. These poll results have thrust the government into a "crisis of morale" and demoralization, the Times cheerfully reports, which is preventing important reforms from going through.

The Torygraph, meanwhile, plays up Miliband's denials that there is any rift between him and Brown, or that he was furious with Downing Street for toning down a pro-Brussels speech he made last month. "Absolute rubbish," he said.
