Gordon Brown on Channel 4 News

[V8mate]

Did anyone see the gurning idiot on Ch.4 News just now?

I'm incensed!

"The money I defrauded from the State, from hard-working tax-payers who are now having to pay for twelve years of my incompetence and the greed of the City, well... I gave it back. No-one asked me to, I just did it. I'm so good; no really, I am...I'm brilliant me! I should probably get one of those Nobel things which Obama got. Can you imagine...can you really...that money which I nicked and thought I'd got away with....well...when I started to feel a bit uncomfortable about it and that the press might be on to me...well...I just gave it back...without anyone even having to ask me to do it!"

I may have read between the lines a little, but that's essentially what he said

[MonkeyHanger]

I'm rather confused as to why the handwriting on his expenses claims is significantly tidier than the writing on his Condolence letters to Soldier's families.

Skewed priorities?.....shurely not!

[catso]

Well he must have initially claimed it to be able to give it back, only reason he (or any of them) give it back is because they got caught, so he's still a criminal just one who is trying to weasel out of it and the only reason any of them are 'sorry' (not Brown it would seem though) is because they are sorry they got caught.

Self-serving Scumbags, every last one of them.

[Rocky Balboa]

Wow! A full £500! He's a real hero.

C4 News-what a joke. I had to turn it off and take a big slug of best Chilean Cab Sov. One Eye was bad enough but the studio "love in" with Jon-call me Jon Snow and the Millipede brother was finally too much to take. From Millipede to the "Oh so" carefully picked audience/panel of typical English people (sic) the utter drivel expressed from all there just proved how Hitler managed to convince the whole German populace that his way forward in the 30's was to their best interest. I truly despair at the abysmal intelect and understanding of people who seem to be able to speak but are incapable of forming any fact based idea of their own. I put it down to 12 years of Socialist propaganda and insuficiant world travel by air!!

Understand completely. I knew what was coming, so I put on never Mind the Buzzcocks instead. I don't think the majority do think like that, as shown in the very carefully picked panel on that piece of blatant bias - it's just that the media 'want' us all to think they are the majority view, and more people are getting wise to this, I suspect.

Brown must be wondering what the hell he is going to be doing soon. If Climategate ends up being as big a case of fraud as it looks, there are going to be alot of red faced people pointing fingers saying sorry it wasn't my fault.... This "look at me Im a good boy" is again another bit of spin to take the pressure off other more important issues. Who really gives a st it he did spend £500? Hell I bet their bloody drinks bill for one evenings entertainment is more than that. I mean - how much does it cost to supply security for this oaf? Hell I'd chip in to pay the guy to NOT protect him...

On a similar note, twice in the last 2 days Ive had it with R2 and switched off. How I wish Steve Wright would STFU and just play music instead of droning out the one-sided garbage fed to him. On his show the piss-boiler was "global warming fuctoids" I was so angry I nearly threw - no I just switched it off.
Tonight I was listening to the end of Chris Evans show and again more AGW bullcrap, some silly bint rattling on. Again hit the off button.
I just hope that the majority of listeners are, like me, fed up to the hind teeth listening to this continuous barrage of rubbish.

Least we have Old Togmeister Tel waving the flag in aunt Beebs face..
Each morning I wait for his little snipe at the news on AGW and all is well. For about 5 minutes!

He'll award himself a salary increase to ease the burden of having to pay back such a hefty amount, in line with inflation. That is in line with Zimbabwe's inflation of course.

Surprised that nobody has tried to kill the bd yet, there's enough military out there eager to put a bullet between his eye and marble

Steve Wright winds me up so much words cannot convey it, the smugness of the little st is insane. I hate the "factoids" part of his stty show, cheap and lazy production....that's what i'm paying my fking license fee for is it? for some to go and google some random st and spout it out on the fking radio? fk off. Oh and as if the usual inane bks isn't enough it is now good old fasioned Socialist propaganda! s.

Raped from Wogans Telegraph column dated July 07, but as valid today as ever....

I'm sure I heard him make mention of the fact the other day, when he said: "Let the work of change begin." Although, after 10 years of Gordon Brown's custody of the public purse, "change" is about all many people have left.

Has anyone else noticed that since the predicted "scorching hot summer" has turned into a very damp squib, "global warming" has suddenly become "climate change"?

^^^Not for much longer!

IIRC it was alleged that:

• The Blairs' home's mortgage had been paid off by them in the normal course of events;
• They took out a new mortgage on it in order to buy their new "palace";
• They submitted the mortgage interest payments as 2nd home expenses on a home they'd already paid for.

Not obviously whiter-than-white behaviour...

[DAVEVO9]

Dear Gordon..

fk Off... and when you get there.. fk Off some more!
