Gordon Brown speech 2

[jamesgravil]

Funny... no mention ANYWHERE in this speech of the Iraq / Afghanistan war, and Gordon Brown's involvement in that. Fair enough, the war started under Tony Blair as PM, not Brown, so he can't be held wholly responsible; but Brown IS continuing this war, and it IS turning into something of a debacle at the moment. I'd like to hear what Gordon has to say about my cousin in the Marines, who has post-traumatic stress disorder from serving in Afghanistan. No comment, Gordie? Shame on you!

[happytoffer]

Benefits system is a joke.Sod political correctness incapacity claimants to be tested regularly to see what theyre capable of.Unemployed mothers and fathers should be informed their benefits and housing will not improve if they have another child.Unemployed given all unskilled jobs that need doing to work for benefit.3 strikes for criminals 1.give them every opportunity to change 2.modern prison 3.Harsh solitary prison,they have to never want to go back.Immigrants have to have skills to enter.

[happytoffer]

Gordon Brown refuses to take responsibility for his own economic disasters blaming them on America, the world, Santa Claus.We all know theres a global crisis Gordon but now,after you sold all our gold at a rock bottom price, robbing our pensions, and borrowing all to invest in the economy now the crap has hit the fan the cupboard is bare.Now after cuddling up to big business allowing the greedy to get richer off our backs he now blames them also.Where was the regulation Gordon?Go..please

[hulterbusy]

[griffinite10]

The only party that would stop immigration problems( and that includes the islamification of Britain) is the BNP.

The Only party that would put an end to political correctnes is the BNP

Vote NO to european rule and political correctness.

Vote NO to lying Sleezy politicians

Vote for the Party that put the people first.THE BNP.

[pengo2007]

this "islamification" doesnt even exist. It's nonsense. All it does is make you sound like a racist hater.

[hulterbusy]

[kahuna390]

im sorry but your only seeing the negatives, wht about the minimum wage and the lowering of unimploymeny. why dont we bring up what was wrong with thatchers britain, she caused the privitalisation that has helped the credit crunch in our country. if we were all nationalised then the credit crunch would not be affecting the common person, but the greed that was instilled during the last consevative goverment was unrepairable until now

[Czerniakowska]

Dreadful speech. How does he reconcile "fairness" with a retrospective tax grab dressed up as an environmental measure? Also, the reference to Georgia and Iran was nothing less than a declaration that the UK would submissively continue to go along with whatever wild military adventuring the US chose to engage in next. Better a "novice" than this dreary, uninspiring creature.

[kahuna390]

because the tax grab is wht we need to rectorfy the credit crunch. and what our saying about america is that we should stop helping them, that we should help the taliban, i think your just contradicting for the sake of it. yes indeed we should of engaged diplomacy quicker in iraq but we didnt because of the us and the goverment has officially apologised. this man is exactly what we need for the credit crunch, all cameron would have done is say fuck the banks as they privitalise

[Czerniakowska]

So, you are saying that the tax grab isn't in fact to do with the environment, which is exactly what I was saying. Lies are lies. I don't recall the Government apologising for its error in collaborating with the unlawful US invasion of Iraq. When did this happen, then?

[kahuna390]

there will be money spent on the enviroment and the nhs and odviously back into are economy as we r facing a huge recession. im sorry but if it made making the lives of the people of iraq better than i would have personally called the war. im not denying that there was much conspiracy in the war but that is the same with all wars. iraq is now set to be halthy when they are cured of these insurgents. they can live in a democracy and live fairly without a dictatorship. that is the award of the war

[Czerniakowska]

By "insurgents" I take it you mean Iraqi citizens who just happen to oppose foreign military invasion and occupation, the pillaging of their country's natural resources and rule by a puppet regime established by their foreign invaders?

[MagnaCartaFreedom]

OH! and on immigrants,Labour wants to cancel the census,WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

[MagnaCartaFreedom]

If Brown is so great how come we have record taxes,which he openly admits.

'ITS NO TIME FOR UPSTARTS'right Gordon,if we have record taxes why do we not have fantastic public finances,if you are so fiscally adept,why havn't we got a surplus.

No instead we have record taxes,and record deficits,IF THATS GREAT EXPERIENCE GORDON,I WILL TAKE GOERGE OSBOURNE THANKS VERY MUCH.

[69salford69]

what about immigrants?

- because we've let them in, is it inhumane to kick them out?

why do peadophiles get little punishment?

why do celebrities get away with doing coke but Mr Average gets criminal convictions?

why do we spend 100BILLION on the Olympics when we are in a depression?

why do we pay taxes for public transport then pay to use the transport we've already paid for?

why do we pay police wages then get harassed?

why do we go to War when the PEOPLE don't want to?

[LegendOfChuckNorris]

Same old shit. Hes delivered nothing.

[loz1023]

finally he delivers!

[SAUSAGEANDMAYO]

i feel browny is a legend he'll lead this country back to greatness.........

[MagnaCartaFreedom]

While the so called people Labour claims to support have record taxes,record high bills,what is your man doing?i will tell you:

Labour figures:

to take every disabled person out of fuel poverty and OAP,(i have disabilility)would cost £1bn.

Labour has given EU £2bn extra this year to build roads etc,in parts of EU,given £475m to Pakistan,AND THIS FOR ALL YOU LABOUT FUCKING BASTARD £50M TO CHINA,YES FUCKING THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY ON EARTH,

IS THAT YOU GREAT FUCKING LABOUR.

[MagnaCartaFreedom]

The biggest deficit in EU,and this clown gets applauded,the British people are not fooled,vote Conservative,

An ex-Labour supporter.

[hugoegbert79]

Yes, vote for the man who was Special advisor to Norman Lamont at the time of Black Wednesday. Who opposed the minimum wage. Vote for the party that created 20% inflation, 3 000 000 unemployed and deregulated the banks in the name of free markets-the results of which we are seeing now. The party that had to sack nurses and teachers because they didn't have the money, but found 2.6 billion to go to war. Which shut down mental hospitals and kicked the inpatients onto the street. Vote Conservative.

[J2897]

Gordon Brown all the way, GO ON SON!!! :D

He's giving all the poor kids free Internet!!

Those kids who used to steel your Hub Caps off your car wheels to play frisbies will be too busy, doing what your doing now, to steel your new ones! :D

[GordonFerguson]

brinna66 - I can only assume that you're heavily medicated. Or perhaps you just know nothing about politics. Yes. That might be it.

[hugoegbert79]

Harry Potter? What? Any context for that? Am I missing something?

[dabobmarley]

JK Rowling donated £1 million to the labour party!

[hugoegbert79]

Oh of course, I forgot. Makes sense now haha. Thanks.

[TheZanipolo]

@dabobmarley her politics are clearly as crap as her "novels" - if she's a communist, she should give away her entire fortune, eat the rich you know

[brinna66]

Pathetic man,a traitor of the highest order.

[gunlodge]

oh my god you are pathetic.

gordon brown is 10 times better than david cameron. he isn't perfect. but no one is!

[TheZanipolo]

@gunlodge Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the grace and favour apartment at No 10, Mr Brown signed a declaration stating that he wished to transfer his claims under the Additional Costs Allowance (ACA), which MPs may use to fund a second home, to his Scottish constituency house. By doing this, he was entitled to claim most of the running costs of the detached property in North Queensferry, at public expense .

[TheZanipolo]

@gunlodge He made the transfer on Sept 17, 2006 10 days after Tony Blair announced that he would resign as prime minister the following year. Until then, Mr Brown had declared a flat in Westminster as his second home for the purposes of his allowances, despite having the use of a taxpayer-funded apartment in Downing Street. It was there that he and his wife, Sarah, paid his brother, Andrew, a high-flying executive, £241.30 a month for cleaning services. The payments later increased to £262.
