Gordon Doesn’t Appear to Have Any Answers

Post your video on YouTube and Gordon will answer your questions – PMQs for the People – on the interwebby. Gordon is a digital Prime Minister… or so they spun back in May.

Some 167,000 people watched his call for questions to be uploaded on YouTube – not quite as many as watched him pick his nose. Now the fanfare has died down. “The top-voted user questions will be answered by Gordon Brown at the end of June” says the “Ask the PM” website.
It is now July, Guido knows not if it is incompetence or dithering, but Gordon has given no answers to the questions posed. Promise broken. Time, effort and money wasted. A load of spin. Nothing in return. We have our answer PM…

Gobby livens up the Brooks’ press conference:

“Have you had any messages of support from the Prime Minister?”



The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
