GORDON BROWN SAVES THE WORLD...
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 08:04AM I have been amused at the BBC's fawning coverage of the speech given by Gordon Brown at the Labour Party annual conference yesterday. One could be forgiven for thinking that Brown promised to heal the sick and raise the dead.
In fact he trotted out the usual left wing garbage that has crucified this country for well over a decade and came out with surreal statements such as Labour was the "party of law and order". He said this with a straight face and the crowd went wild. Brown suggests that tough economic conditions means the need for him is greater than ever. But Brown omits to add that he has been responsible for a large element of our economic woes! Brown talks about Britishness even as the administration he heads up allows millions of foreigners to come in and to remain apart from British values. He talks of upholding UK law even as his government accepts Sharia law. He now threatens much greater "regulation" of our private institutions. He talks of being a serious politician for serious times - and then announces free theatre tickets for 18-25 year olds at off-peak times in selected venues as well as free internet for the disadvantaged. How more frivolous does it get? Brown is not a serious politician, he is power obsessed clown. He is also a dead man walking politically speaking. We witness a media created bubble today - and it will burst when Labour lose the Glenrothes by-election. What then for Mr Brown - the leader who cannot win an election????

How many times must we hear him mention 'his old school motto'?
How lame.
Free theatre for 18-25 year olds!!>/i>
LOL yeah cos young people are really short of money arent they??
Broon the buffoon.
I watched 'the show' - for that is all it was, pure theatre.
His every utterance was either delusional or an outright lie. Certainly he talked a wonderful dream, - but that is all it was - a dream. If only he realised that his dream was everyone else's nightmare, not because of its content, but because of its impossibility, giving hope, while knowing full well that he didn't have a snowball in Hell's chance of fulfilling even the smallest part of 'the dream'.
Ignored, or rather denied, was the enormous debt this country has amassed under Labour, we carry the largest debt of any major nation in the Western world, ignored was the total and abject failure of our education system, - and throughout it all he was taking credit for achievements that were - at least to us normal human beings, - non existent.
He seemed to rate something a success if it differed from that which was there in the first place, even if, as usual, the replacement was a complete failure.
His one ambition seems to destroy everything that has gone before, and to fashion the replacement in the statist image, where there are no rich and no poor, where there is no incentive or merit, where there is little real joy or sadness, and where we all bow to 'The Great Leader'.
He promised everything, and he will do, and achieve nothing, for the dream is fashioned after his dream, which he has itemised, as one would do with a shopping list, and he won't be happy unless he ticks all of the boxes, - it is too rigid in concept and too impractical in execution in a real world populated with real and very different people. It is just too inflexible...
I must say I have smelled better stuff in a farmyard!
The day after the night before....
Written proof of the success of the last eleven years, and just how good the UK economy is. A few items from todays newspapers....
"The number of admirals serving in the Royal Navy now outstrips the number of warships in the Fleet, new research has revealed."

"Hank Paulson, the US Treasury Secretary, is understood to have rejected a request for a meeting with Gordon Brown, delivering a snub to the Prime Minister during his visit to America."
"Mr Brown announced in his Labour Party conference speech that he would be meeting "financial and Government leaders in New York" in a bid to resolve the financial crisis gripping world economies but he is actually now expected to meet only a handful of American financiers. He has also pledged to "rebuild the world financial system".
It seems that while 'dreaming the dream', Gordon has been taking lessons from the Dean of Snake-oil Salesmen - one Al Gore. Gordon was heard to remark that, 'If he invented the Internet', then I can jolly well rebuild a bigger better financial system, - after all it isn't exactly rocket science!
His audience was surprised that he could actually spot the difference.

The government is set to make £4.5bn from selling its 35.6pc holding.
The Chancellor was quoted a saying; "Well it isn't a lot, but it's all we've got! - and it will help to pay this month's wages bill!"
