        Corresponent from Jockland here (Capital J for the people’s democratic repulik of Jockland please, Norm) and… yes we agree we ALL know that he’s utterly finished.
        But please don’t return soliled and rancid goods as he’s now officially an Anglo (or North British maybe ..anyway a Jockland Republik denier).

        McBride, (Draper and almost Brown) now finished off.
        Do you think it’s too early to turn the sights on Balls, or is he going down by simply holding onto the apron strings ?
        Mrs Balls, better to retain your own name in case you have to jettison this hoon later.
        Oh .. you already thought of that one. Sorry.
        Happy Days all.

    On News 24 now, there are Trots chanting “bring Brown down” being brought out by Police.

    How ironic given the state control and tax & spend policies of the last 10 years

    A Brown apology is rare as rocking horse shit! Nice one.

    He would only apologise to try and stop old Gus investigating e-mails in Downing Street further.

    Brown knows he is cornered!

    Ah, double smug mode.

    Extra tuck from matron for Guido at break time.

    Are you sure you want one of those thick felt tip letters of apology that look as though they have been written by a petulant child to an old aunt reluctantly thanking her for the scarf?

    Fantastic result though.

    Are you the MSM now?

    Spin That Brown You Loser says:

    I’ve just seen Brown apologising on BBC news.

    And as expected the Damian Green case is going nowhere.

    It’s the end of Brown’s pathetic government.

    If he really has said the “S” word, we can expect him to be admitted to St Tom’s in the next hour or so as his insides try to throttle him.

      Mr Ned says:

      No he was sorry, not for the emails, but for being caught. What he was really saying was “I am sorry that my entire general election strategy has been blown out of the water.”

      Seeing that labour have no positive policy successes to go to the country on and the last election manifesto was shredded within minutes of Brown completing his political coup into no.10. (EU referendum) Labour has NOTHING left but smears, lies and inuendos.

      Now the lies and smears have been banned they have nothing at all to offer the British electorate. So I predict the smears and lies will continue anyway.

      You can't threaten a maniac says:

      That’s the one.
      Takes full responsibility (when he doesn’t)
      Took immediate action (when he didn’t take any action at all, immediate or otherwise)

        Hugh Derbyshire says:

        Taking action would require him to sack someone. Accepting someone’s resignation is inaction.

    He said Sorry, but he also said that he took full responsibility AND the person responsible had left his job.

    Shome mishtake shurely ?.

    PS – very reminiscent of Jonh Major’s “When our backs are to the wall, we turn around and fight !”

  14. 15
    Bob says:

    What he said was that he took full responsibility and that’s why the individual responsible had to go.

    What kind of “responsibility” is that?

    HMP Brixton says:

    I don’t think he actually apologised. He’s used more weasel words according to the BBC:

    “I am sorry about what happened.”

    NOT the same as apologising to the persons smeared, as Nadine Dorries can testify!

    I will be amazed if you get an apology or even a weasel worded “I regret it if any bad things were done without my knowledge” letter from him. He doesn’t do “apologise”.

      Throbber says:

      The one eyed retard used the word sorry but it most certainly wasn’t an apology. It was the sort of sorry a petulant three year old utters when caught red handed ironing the cat.

      The same sort of weasely apology was given by Brown in the House of Commons over Baby P. Brown was sorry he had made the issue party political. He wasn’t sorry for having accused Cameroon of the very same thing.

    Gordon apologises?! Put out bunting! Raise flags! Cull out an holy-day!

    This day is called the feast of Crispian:
    He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
    Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
    And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
    Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
    And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
    Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
    But he’ll remember with advantages
    What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
    Familiar in his mouth as household words
    Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
    Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
    Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
    This story shall the good man teach his son;
    And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
    From this day to the ending of the world,
    But we in it shall be remember’d;
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition:
    And gentlemen in England now a-bed
    Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

    “I am sorry about what happened. I have said all along that when I saw this first I was horrified, (that we had been caught doing this) I was shocked (that Guido fucking Fawkes had got copies of the emails) , I was very angry indeed.”

    Brown said that he had written ( in big black crayon) to (some of) those mentioned in the emails expressing regrets for (being found out and forced to get rid of lovely Damian over ) what happened and that he wanted to assure people that “everything is being done to clean up politics in this country (except to sack a few ministers and call an election)”.

    Asked if he took responsibility, Brown said: “I take full responsibility for what happens and that’s why the person who was ( directly) responsible went immediately (in order to protect my flabby arse).”

    Interesting parallel with the Damian Green story – the existence of a whistleblower close to the centre of power. In Guido’s case, VERY close it seems.

    It’s this aspect that must be having the biggest impact – the sheer paranoia that must now pervade every discussion, every email message, every minute taken by that quiet young civil servant in the corner.

    It doesn’t really matter whether Guido has more emails (though delicious if he does) – the thought that he might have, or that more might be sent to him at any moment.

    So, is the whistleblower working on their own account? Or do thay have a handler?

    Fascinating.

    Brown also employs a gang within 10, Downing St. whose job is to spread lies and smears about opposition politicians via a network of tame journalists.

    Is this the worst, most Stalinist, most authoritarian, most frightening government in British history?

    pissed off voter says:

    It says a great deal about the present government that the Damien Green affair has resurfaced amidst the furore over McBride and Draper. A scandal to distract from a scandal? Oh dear. Who’s worried now, Gordon :).

    On Mr Green, the home affairs committee reported that “We are concerned that growing frustration in both the Home Office and the Cabinet Office may have led officials to give an exaggerated impression of the damage done by the leaks that could reasonably be presumed to have emanated from the Home Office.”.

    I wonder if those concerns were provoked by the apparent anxiety of Sir Gus O’Donnell who had said “We were worried that certain information was getting out which was potentially very damaging to national security. “.

    Strangely, Jacqui Smith, Home Secretary responsible for national security did not seem to be in this loop, indeed, she was quite adamant in saying that ‘I’ve been very clear that I didn’t know if Damien Green was going to be searched or arrested’. Odd that, these little adventures are usually the result of a certain amount of organisation and forward planning – titter ye not – so the Home Secretary must have been extremely busy at the time;.her statement did not make clear if she had been occupied with affairs of state, filling in expense forms or just watching a particularly captivating video. Hey, maybe she’s got a video about completing expense forms :)

    What about those pillars of society, McBride and Draper? Any national security issues there? Sir Gus thinks not – read that how you will – since ministers have made assurances! I seem to remember Mr ‘Berkeley’ Draper making assurances. Of course, he is not an ‘honourable member’, and neither is Mr McBride. Quite so, to share an office with Mr McBride at the time of his known literary escapades is not incriminating. But we know about ‘honourable members’ – their expense claims tell us a great deal. No doubt all those ex-colleagues of Mr McBride are, at this very moment, pleading with dear old Gus to hold an enquiry to prove their innocence, to remove the slurs now cast on both them and the core of government. Ha fuckin’ ha. Gus, however, has made up his mind that Mr McBride, solid character that he is, is not a security risk no matter what information he may have had access to in Downing St. No doubt Gus is thinking of the public expense involved in instigating an enquiry and probably mindful of how much Mr Martin has already spent fighting publication of MPs’ expenses. Sensitive man, Gus, he knows the taxpayer does not have bottomless pockets, and, in these difficult times, is already struggling to finance the needs of politicians. He would never dream dream of blocking an enqiry to protect dishonest mates, no sir.. I bet he went to the same school as John Lyon.

    The Home Secretary seems to be keeping a very low profile on this one. She’s probably on her hols. Maybe she is staying at the same 5 star hotel as McNulty, Hoon and co. They can certainly afford it – we pay for it.

  104. 256
    Sir Leonard Bloodgate, Archeologist to the Stars says:

    Now let’s have a look at this so called apology.

    Brown says, speaking on a visit to Glasgow: “sorry about what happened”

    Now that is not effectively an apology or saying ’sorry’ and meaning it. It is a reflective response to a particular situation or set of circumstances. It is definitely not addressed to anyone in a personal way.

    Brown then goes on to say: “I take full responsibility for what happened. That’s why the person who was responsible went immediately.”

    Once again, there is no mention of McBride concerned at all. In stating he is taking responsibility he is also stating the person responsible ‘went immediately’ Now, this is interesting. What exactly is Brown taking responsibility for? – it is not clear from this statement. If as he says, the person responsible went…why is he still in post? Or does he mean someone else is responsible? If so, who? And for what? This comment is totally nonsensical. Standing alone, it has no meaning. With reference to the events to which I think he is refering, it is an impossible comment.

    Brown goes on to say: “We have now got to get on with the job of creating opportunities for people and apprenticeships, creating new work and, of course, getting a budget for jobs.”

    Agh, some clarity at last. Here Brown is clear in his reference and its meaning. A simple statement with a focus and clear aims. However, in relation to his previous comments it highlights what Brown is actually saying. What Brown is saying is LET’S DRAW A LINE UNDER THIS AND MOVE ON. His uncomfortable expression about being sorry is a contrived means, in an unusual context, Govern Shipyard, at ‘getting people off his back’. He has said just enough to imply his sorrow but nowhere near enough to actually mean it. It is a rous, a technique which is very familiar to him and those who watch him.

    In conclusion, Brown is sorry about nothing. The BBC, in raptures because of this, are WRONG. Other commentators who think Brown has come up trumps are WRONG. Cameron et al would be foolish to believe that Brown is anymore sorry today than he was yersterday. This is a semantic exercise by Brown to provide final damage limitation for him. Brown doesn’t give a toss about anyone else except himself. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

      Perfect summary. Reading the BBC reporting I also noted their “failure” again to pick up on the “I take full responsibility for what happened. That’s why the person who was responsible went immediately” comments.
      Has ANYONE with access to these interviews ASKED where McBride is and if he still works for civil service ?
      No – I thought not.

    Adam the Word King says:

    Saying sorry might have meant something IF he had said it before public pressure forced him to. Now it just makes him look weak. If he didnt mean it, and didnt say it straight away, he might as well have not bothered.

    Brown would have got away with his pathetic apologies a week ago.
    Not now. The MSM is, due fear of its demise, becoming a bit more assertive.

    The interviewer asked Brown ‘ do you accept total responsibilty’ because he knew the line ‘ that is why the person responsible has gone’ was coming

    Brown wasn’t listening and fell in the trap. The apology was rehearsed and not genuine.

    Try again, 3rd time lucky.

    Expect more shite from ‘King Gordo the Snot-Gobbler’s minions such as kiddy fiddler Mandy, Bollox, Mrs Bollox, Gob Shite Blears, et al, such as:

    “I’ve worked along side Gordon for years and I know he is focused on the job”

    “We’ve tightened up the rules on special advisors”

    “We need to take stock and learn the lessons”

    “Gordon has made his apologies and it can’t be any clearer on the matter”

    “We need to focus on the the issues people care about”

    Mix that with:

    “This is a global ressesion”

    “Hard working families”

    “British jobs for British Workers”

    “horrified”

    “shocked”

    “It started in America”

    “This is no time for a novice”

    And YOU can get your own AlBeeb headline.

    In the meantime elderly people continue to die at the hands of the NHS, more unemployment,a more bloated, politically motivated, public sector, less effective police and military run by Lairbour goons, more smears and lies from the cretinous socalists that makes the old DDR look like a modern well run state.

    Dear Gordon

    I am sorry that you are such a lying steaming piece of shit. Furthermore I apologise for thinking that you and your fellow incompetent thieves in Cabinet and the Labour party have bunkrupted Britain. I am also deeply sorry that so many of my fellow citizens were stupid enough to vote that other twat Blair and you and your fellow wankers into power 3 times. I am so sorry about all the above and the fact that I hate you and all you stand for so much that I have decided to leave England for ever.

    Now please fuck off won’t you you piss-poor excuse for a man and take that sodomite twat Meddlewithbums with you.

    Hating you means never having to say I’m sorry.

    Guido. You may want to publicise this little bit that I just discovered in the Times that shows Gordon’s apology to be the hypocritical crap that it is.

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6108896.ece

    Whitehall sources unleashed an extraordinary salvo at Christopher Galley, the civil servant who leaked to Mr Green but was also freed from the threat of criminal prosecution. One labelled him a “complete loser”. Claiming that he had used a term from Star Trek as a computer log-in, an insider said: “That says it all, doesn’t it. The guy was a laughing stock.”

    Three days after Smeargate and they are at it again, personal attacks on a guy who simply had the courage to stand up to Labour. Senior Whitehall Sources indeed. Well we know they won’t be McPoison spouting this shit now, so who is it? After Gordon said he would take responsibility for this. Bring the bastard down mate. Bring him down.

      ‘Whitehall sources’ — aka a low life parasitical Hoon. If the best they can come up with is a login name then who is the loser in this picture? Beyond belief that these useless muppets have jobs for life and fat salaries at our expense. String ‘em up.

  124. 305
    Mr Christopher says:

    Perhaps we should all try to re-discover that degree of objectivity that would enable us to remain free of Brown’s estimation of himself, and see him as he really is: not the leader of our country, but the leader only of those who believe in him, not a statesman but an impostor propelled into regions beyond his competence or moral authority by over-weaning self-ambition, not a ‘prudent Chancellor’ but the play-thing of cunning financiers, a man so deeply lacking in patriotic sensibility as to shape almost every decision of national importance to the needs of his American friends, a man whose religious background has left him with a legacy of superstition that makes him prey to the witch-craft beliefs of terrorologists who neglect to tell him that many more people have been wilfully murdered by NHS staff like Shipman, Allitt, Colin Norris and Andrew Marolia than have been killed by ‘terrorists’ since the ascent of the New Labour princes….

    What it can mean when such a person says they are sorry, or accepts ‘full responsibility,’ is not easy to understand.

    Dear Guido,
    A different slant. As a South African I am appalled at the new visa restrictions placed on South African citizens. Apparently we have too many false passports entering your lawless country. Never mind Pakhistani students, Jamaican chancers and Ethiopian asylum seekers who enter merrily on any excuse. we, the genuine South African travelers are now “non-U” in Britain. Sobeit (sic), We shall go elsewhere. (Sure there are South Africans “sneaking illegally into the UK—who isn’t?”—but you must sort the wheat from the chaff), Most of us are legitimate. Could you make some comparisons for me? In the meantime we’ll go elsewhere for our holidays, thank you very much. Our government has placed no restrictions on British tourists as we need the tourism. Pity we didn’t . Why should we allow you free access when we, great travellers to Britain, are now being subject to stringent entry conditions. Many of us , as I said, will go elsewhere. The UK could do with some genuine tourists in Britain in this time of recession. I, for one, will visit the Middle East inside.
