Gordon Brown cries for votes (12Feb10)

Gordon Brown cries on TV to get some sympathy votes from the electorate.

How many tears has Gordon shed for all the brave British soldiers that Tony Blair and Brown have sent to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan? Not once has Blair or Brown met any of the dead arriving in the UK.

How many tears has Gordon shed for the economy he has ruined and the people it has devastated as a consequence?

How many tears has Gordon cried for the people who's life savings New Labour has stolen through the private pensions raid and raid on savers cash? The deliberate policy to make them dependent on the state.

How many tears has Gordon shed for the people dealing with the consequences of New Labour's "Open Borders" immigration policy?

How many tears has Gordon shed for the people arrested and added to the DNA database, even though they are innocent, and cannot get off the crooked database?

Go Brown, and take your crooked New Labour party with you into political oblivion.

Recorded from BBC Breakfast, 12 February 2010.

Thanks again LiarPoliticians, you are my main source of political news nowadays! lol

[wazzockUK]

Labour are really getting desperate when the PM starts using his grief as a tactic to win sympathy and votes.

And we all know it's a tactic.

[IamBradleyAssange]

@icfireplace  sociopath.

[IamBradleyAssange]

If he tried to keep his family out of the media, why is he doing this?

[TheBenowen12]

i think its fucking sick that you saying that he cried for votes. HIS CHILD DIED IN HIS ARMS, only cold blooded people wouldn't cry after seeing someone you love die in your arms. like to see what happens to you lot when a family member dies, you better not cry!!!

[TheEcontra]

Wow, that was pathetic...

[tomzo49]

@JS7580 - you are a fucking horrific human being, with no decency or empathy. i actually am astounded by some of the comments and in particular by the title of this clip. i hope something terrible happends to you and then after 8 years you will realise some things are not easy to forget, it seems that is the only way you could understand. cunt

[Bishwadai]

hey yu presenters ! He didnot cry, his wife was crying. you dont know the lost of your baby, when you loose then you will know> he was telling what was happened to her daughter of course he might heart fell. you all dumb, just blaming to labour and brown. finally what is the con found? nothing difference?

[MrFitzek]

what about the tearsof mothers burying their sons from fighting in iraq,the tears of mothers burying their children of knife crime,the tears of families losing their homes or fathers losing their jobs.of course its sad about his child but dont go crying on prime time tv to get votes.people arent stupid and arnt gonna fall for it anymore

[Rowanik]

Some people just heartless - his daughter died, why wouldn't he cry? What if it happened to you? Doesn't mean this is going to make a big difference though, most voters ain't that stupid to vote parties over sympathy.. Plus all parties are the same, full of power hungry liars in my opinion.

[Jonnyrus132]

@lezenby6 his daughter DIED! IS THAT NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON FOR HIM TO CRY!!!!!!!!!!

[ImmanuelKunt1993]

Ah so Gordon Brown isn't allowed to cry when his child dies. You're a very reasonable person.

[Jamietheboi91]

lol he didnt cry!

[lawriemanc2]

I hope Gordon wins the election. Labour = real.

[IBDoyle]

@TheZanipolo

Why do you assume he's doing it for Votes?

[lempton]

@lazenby6 oh yeah because things were great with the tories and maggie not wanting to give the kids bloody milk. by the way i had my best friend killed in iraq under a labour government but thats no reason to hate the party. how the hell have labour destroyed communities?, laughable comments. brown shouldnt have done this but having the tories back?? er no

[7heAre7s]

Life is cruel, anything can happen. It might sound wrong to say that "his family has nothing to do with the rest of the country", but true. We can't vote him just because of a sad event in his family alone. What about the rest of the country? You have to be narrow-minded to fall for sympathy vote attempts.

[tavish1979]

im sure losing your child is the sadest moment in anyones life and my heart goes out to gordon and his wife.i do however think this is a huge mistake as gordon im my opinion has used this to help win the election.why not do this interview a while back. brown has ruined this country.

[JuanMacready]

Brown is a disgusting autistic freak trying to use his long dead child to win votes.

[carlcampbell85]

we, as the all important mightly golden "electorate," have a CHOICE to make about where we take our politics or where we allow it to go. i think these acusations are to be despised.

[carlcampbell85]

i think cynical bitter members of the public, some of whom show themselves on this comment wall, and tory attack dogs have twisted the whole thing to make it seem like Brown IS that heartless and that desperate and that low a human being.

i suppose its up to us to conclude whether a politician would actually cash in the memory of his dead baby for another spell of being accused of more horrific things.

[TheZanipolo]

Brown's a mad and sick lunatic - and a total pervert to do this for votes

[mbmjson]

nice script brownie boy.and thats all it was trading in on your dead babies name.sick bastard

[jitteryjoe]

...Cameron does too... they're both fuck off slimey bastards just like Blair.
