2of2: Gordon "Mr.10%" Brown can't answer a question in PMQs (17Jun09)

[chapmasi]

Brown doesn't actually answer any question put to him directly. Isn't that the point of PMs questions?

Don't get me wrong I don't think any PM in the last 20+ has had any real balls (since Thatcher). I just think Cameron is now the lesser of the evils. Brown was just fucking useless...

[nick643vgs]

the speaker is pathetic, thank god he has gone, shame he was ever paid, Betty Boothroyd was far superior

[sixtiesfan007]

@nick643vgs Agree completely, - forgot how bad he was!!

[DlazAd]

Bring on election!

Down With Brown In with the conservatives

[Payne1971]

Blimey, Gordon mentions the few and the many more times than a Churchill speech.

Yes Gordon, we understood your rousing party line the first time you said it. You don't then need to 'sign off with it' three more times!

[BertrumPantyshield]

What part of the state is vital? Apart from law, property rights and defence, nothing else of it is actually vital. Granted in this country we consider the NHS and education vital, fair enough, but is £195 billion on welfare (roughly a third of government expenditure) vital? A tripled NHS budget over the last 12 years, and it's still rubbish. 6 million people out of work vital? The difference between the two is one party would make people work, and the other would allow the unwashed to be lazy.

[canisfamilliaris]

A good analysis, but your proposed execution is flawed. The conservatives have no more answer than the labour party. They still want to prop up the remnants of our empire, and pay people for staying at home having more disposable income than the working.

We need a real party, prepared to take real decisions. It's not going to help anyone when you try to cash your dole cheque and it can't buy you anything.

[BertrumPantyshield]

@canisfamilliaris I think the conservative party over the last few months have proved they have no answers. To get rid of Labour we get New Labour again, with a whole new Tony Blair! Lucky us. Neither party has grasped any issue the UK faces.

We need a party which is radical. Now is the time. The only real candidate seems to be UKIP, but not voting mainstream this year could lead to a hung parliament. Another few years wasted.

Who knows, a good armed revolution could "clean up British politics".

[canisfamilliaris]

@BertumPanyshield

I'd have to agree with the BNP, UKIP have no intention of stopping the influx of Third World scroungers flooding into this country, altering it's character, indifferent to it's values or in the case of Islam absolutely hostile, intent on milking the system from day one.

At least the BNP are going to put a stop to that, it's whether they can be trusted on any other issues I'm worried about.

Still, there's a storm coming, which everway you look at it.

[BertrumPantyshield]

Unfortunatly the BNP still harbour dangerous racists (actual racists not the left-wing political gagging tool). UKIP want to reduce immigration, but once again, as with every party in this country, seem to not have the bollocks to turn it around. People don't want lower immigration, they want emigration, particularly of first-generation, unintegrated immigrants.

All we can do is batten down the hatches and hope HMS Great Britain survives another storm. God knows she's faced many.

[razryan]

so this is what is called a debate????? gordon just repeating himself over n over n over again but in different context????? and these are people running our lives!

[RollinRolex]

I agree so much with you dude. Cameron is simply a megalomanical poster boy prick (even more so than Brown) who thinks that by fast talking, having an agressive approach and asking GB difficult questions to answer that he will win campaign support. Ever notice how Cameron evades question s involving his 10% tax cut plan?

Conservatives fked this country last time, and they have intentions to do it again with cutting MORE money from areas that need it!

If conservatives get in, were screwed.

[zonianfjb]

Ever notice how Cameron DOESN'T HAVE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS? The session is not "Questions for the Leader of the Opposition".

By the same rule, Labour 'fked' the country last time, and they HAVE done it AGAIN by spending beyond their means, by leaving the benefits system as it stands, by destroying the pensions system, by imposing stealth taxes on hard working people, by imposing targets on schools and the NHS, rather than letting them do their jobs, by fighting a war without paying for it.

[tomhsharky]

fail by cameron at 1:00

[zonianfjb]

Actually, he never denied a global recession. What he denied was that Britain was in a better position to deal with it than other major countries, and that Brown was absolved of responsibility for Britain's debt.

[b1tyres]

lol

oder oder

[kidlewis]

and Labour weren't guilty of Smear before they won in '97? short memory mate. Check out some of the old videos on here.

[Trojanblade25]

Not that I would vote for Cameron either, but Brown ain't no better friend.

This isn't a labour government, I've never seen a labour government more in favour of PROFIT and PRIVATISATION than this one. Brown doesn't care for the people either, it's all about the money, that's all they're interested in.

[lukebell27]

why do they stand up after each speech?

[cavaliergaze]

Getting the speaker's attention, so they can talk. Like putting your hand up at school.

[Savage1606]

It is school.. the only difference is, they wear suits and are grown men.. Iv seen better behavior from my cousin who's 3!

[Lozimia2]

i guess it just sunk in

[midianholic]

I hate to say it but Cameron has a point.

[KeithBrandy]

So Gordon Brown thinks spending money we don't have is good, hey? Nice one.

Equally, if he is spending so much on pulling people out recession, why is unemployment steadily moving upwards?

Chucking money at a problem won't necessarily make it go away (especially if we have to pay it back later).
