The Cracking Up Will Be Televised

sky debateIs he really going to keep his cool in a TV debate?  He says he has made his mind up, so why doesn’t he say if he will do a debate and when he will do a debate?  Dithering won’t make the issue go away…

UPDATE : The Sun saysBrown Goes into TV Meltdown, the Daily Mail says Is He Cracking Up?

He got slaughtered on BBC Breakfast as well:

      Bye Bye Brown says:

      dithering will absolutely make him go away though

      the conservative conference bump in the polls will make any lingering support he had left go away too as panicking Labour MP’s rush to find someone who can save their seats in the face of electoral wipeout

      wonder if his replacement will do a TV debate ?

      Mandy would but Miliband or Johnson might not

        Rumours they are bringing Blair back. Anita on Daily Politivs desperately trying to get a yes from Alistair Campbell. No smoke without fire. No wonder the Sun is getting out of Labour. Are we talking about two elections now One for Blair as President of Europe and Mandelson as PM of Britain. With this zany lot you can’t rule anything out.

          No smoke without Mandy says:

          Mandy can’t be PM, you’d need to change the law to allow a peer to step down, and AFAIK there is no such law in existence.

          I REALLY wish Mandy was still an MP, that way we could replay him getting kicked out of his seat, the same way New Labour glee over the likes of Portillo getting kicked out. Now Mandy is in it for life, no way to kick him out unless he’s finally done for his dodgy mortgage application.

            Tony Benn?

            “Tony Benn” disclaimed his hereditary peerage. Doesn’t apply to life peers.

          • Justice Fingers says:

            But the point I was making is that a law can be passed to allow such things.

            Is there a law that requires the PM to be an MP? I don’t think there ever used to be such.

          • WobblyJim says:

            Fondlebottom Of Boys will be the real leader and will support a candidate that will be the cardboard cut-out PM while Mandy operates the levers.

            Blair won’t come back and be tarbrushed with this fiasco. He’s got a presidential campaign to run, why the fuck does he care about lickle ol’ Britain?

          • Anonymous says:

            You don’t need to change the law.

            Alec Douglas-Home resigned his peerage to become PM, Lord Hailsham tried it too but didn’t make the cut.

        I can’t believe it, I am cured ! the turn of events in the last few days has actually brought about a miraculous conversion, I can now watch AND listen to the Scottish monster lying on the telly and or radio. For the past decade or so I have been physically unable to bear the cowardly pile of brown shite whenever his ugly mug reared up, but now because I know that this is not another false dawn this is the real thing, the lot of them are cracking up and falling apart before my eyes and will be no more. Now I can’t get enough of it I actually want to see more interviews with Brown the cowardly lying pig (squealer) bring on the debate what wonderful telly that’ll be.

    Because he hasn’t made his mind up. It’s all bollocks, but in his contorted mind he believes we won’t see through it.

      I think that’s the one thing that everyone wants to see but sadly I don’t think it’s on film. If it is, the Beeb would have probably destroyed it as they were the ones whose piece he crashed into whilst trying to escape! Apparently he then went on to make a total tit of himself with some lightweight BBC interviewer. Strangely enough, I can’t find it anywhere on Pravda’s website!

      • 24

        We could make something up like he had a massive Seizure and thus isn’t medically fit to be PM.

        I would be surprised if Sky simply stop their cameras the very second it ends, although I’m just guessing. You’re probably right the BBC wouldn’t let it be seen as it might damage McCretin but think there might be a chance with Sky if they have the footage of his attempted escape? Surely there must be some patriot at Skynews who wants to alert the public to what an imbecile Brown is??

        Gordon's anger management says:

        No it was at the end of the Sky interview, they took their time in cutting back to Eamonn Holmes in the studio. Alas Sky have not put up these last few seconds when Gordon’s anger was very obvious. Perhaps they have agreed that Gordon thought he was off air and it is not fair to repeat it? The BBC interview came staight after that incident so that is why Gordon looked strained even at the start of that BBC interview.

          if there are enough names the leadership challenge will proceed or Gordie will be told to step down to avoid it since he’d never win

Since 1994 they’ve hollowed all that out and whats left for the rag tag bunch of lefties whose only unifiying call was socialism? Shag all! On top of that they’ve no money. Hopefully the trade union luddites will take control.

    A solution to deal with the feral scum on the streets says:

    O/T; watched the report from the sink estate in the W Midlands on Newsnight just now.

    I have a solution to deal with the scum and their parents who are out of control;

    String one of them up and then the next one until they stop.If some one knows they will be hurt for their actions,they will stop – they get away literally with murder and they have to be stopped.

    If my relatives suffered problems from these scum they would receive a visit not from the absent police,but from my mates and I – they would not dare to walk along the road alone ever again.

    Sounds stupid and out of control?

    Let these vermin off the leash as they have been allowed and they will continue to laugh in the face of justice.

    They must be dealt with cos the police and govt are NOT interested.

    The full version of that interview is hugely revealing about Brown’s personality and current state of mind. As the pressure from Boulton builds (and he was actually going reasonably easy on the PM), Brown starts to mutter, stumble and then lashes out at Boulton, finally taking his revenge, not with words but with laughable, piercing death stare…

    Brown clearly lacks emotional intelligence and his ugly and cruel underbelly is revealed when there is any attempt to hold him to account. He goes on to say that he should be allowed to communicate with voters without the filter of the media. I bet he would.

    Total. Fucking. Mentalist.

    Why he hasn’t been dragged out of office by his soiled undergarments never ceases to amaze and disappoint me. Does he really represent us? Is he the best we can do? Of course not. So will someone in the Cabinet (yes, I’m looking at you Peter) please get him the fuck out of Downing Street?

    I’m actually starting to feel a bit sorry for Brown, but not as much as I am for those around him.

    There were some comments about psychological flaws at one tim (Campbell?) and I kind of dismissed it as tittle tattle, but I think he was bang on the money.

    The claims over the years that he was some sort of intellectual heavyweight seem somewhat unfounded.

    There’s one thing being a strong leader (as in backing what you believe is right and not bottling it) but this man is spouting nonsense, and simply denies any challenges to it.

    I mean, you can’t honestly tell me that he believes the public will just believe whatever he says? The lies and spin that have dogged this government have stuck and that sort of betrayal of trust takes a long long time to win back.

    We had the cuts vs investment debacle, Fraser Nelson clearly calling Brown out on the issue and he just flatly denies it when he knows it to be true. Does the man not realise that by lying/ducking the question it will bite him ten times as hard when the truth prevails?

    Take Baroness Scotland – why the dithering? If that was in the private sector, the first thing is she would be suspended pending investigation. Why doesn’t Brown come out and explain why this hasn’t happened and at least justify his action (or lack of it).

    If he loves Obama so much, why doesn’t he take a leaf out of his book & admit his mistakes? Or is that listed as a “weakness” in his “PM for Dummies” book?

    If he thinks this is how to run a tuck shop never mind a country, then he is very very deluded.

    I mean the “saving the world” rhetoric. They had absolutely no choice in the matter. If RBS or HBOS had gone belly up, then the payments systems in this country would have ground to a halt. As I see it they had two palatable options:
    1) Underwrite the debt
    2) Inject the capital

    I believe they picked the right option, but lets not kid ourselves that they did it through proactivity.

    The one person who I think has come through all of this OK as a politician is Darling.

    I realise many will disagree, but he comes across as very calm, honest (flipping aside) and dedicated.

    Dunno why I’ve written all this, I guess merely to say that I now actually agree with many that Brown has some serious personality/character flaws.

    There is no way Brown will actually take part in a live debate. Something will ‘come up’ at the last minute. Perhaps a medical complaint such as Yellow Belly or Lily Liver.

      Brown will bottle it, the courage he has written a book about is nothing more than his promises, his word, his honesty and his skills, all empty bullshit. He is deluded, period, his courage is nothing more than a product of his delusions, as is every descision he ever made.

      Live TV with proper aggressive but honest debate is something that Brown could never do, never never never. He would have no clue whatsoever.
      They’d have to rig him up with an earpiece so that his handlers could give him the answers, like chimp Bush had to do.

      He knows that he would lose the tentative control over his sphincters – I reckon his facial gurning is him trying not to vomit as he tries to deal with his panic and inability to communicate on any honest level. Too used to writing instructions in the back office that would then become nightmares for millions of people in the real world. Totally dis-associated from real people and the real world. Now he is our Glorious Leader, he simply can’t cope with the “face time” where he has to justify his actions.
      Then he is out of his depth and needs to resort to emergency defence tactics of lieing, denying, making more promises he never intends to keep etc etc.

      The BBC - doing what we do best says:

      “So – Nick – Gordon Brown has told you in principle that he will be considering possibly taking part in a live TV Debate with other party leaders ?”

      “Yes – Jon – that is the case- the matter breaking only a few miinutes ago – Gordon Brown has said however that the timing is not yet right for a definite agreement to be forthcoming but that he will consider it at the appropriate time”
      “And -in the meantime -Nick – he is taking his message of change out to the country in series of regional roadshows I understand ?”

      “Yes Jon he is and I can tell you in confidence that he is relishing that idea of facing an invited audience of voters around the country to argue his case for progressive and targetted cuts – protecting the vulnerable in Society against the Conservative Party’s policy of cuts in front-line services to the detriment of those less fortunate to the benefit those better off in society !”

      “These roadshows are of course – Nick – is something that David Cameron has also tried ?”

      “Yes it is – but the Prime Minister judged that the moment was not yet right to do similar until he had announced the policy of change that he has done this week at Brighton !”

      “So Gordon Brown feels that this is a preferable method of getting his message across than a televised debate between leaders ?”

      “Yes – Jon – but being the consumate politician that he is he will realise that a sitting Prime Minister is in a very different position to that of other Party Leaders and that he wants to be absolutely certain that this debate is something that the public are truly interested in and it is not just something dreamt up by the media !”

      “And you think that he will make his decision sometime – from now ?”

      “Yes he has told me in confidence that he will make that decision but the time is not yet right to do so !”

    In fact if any of the other participants should mention bogies and/or youtube just prior to the cameras rolling, I reckon that he would emotionally implode on Live TV and if we are really lucky he’ll lose control of one of his malfunctioning sphincters and reward the population of the world with a super-size-me dose of schadenfreude that surely must be heading his way big time.

    I do hope that every other participant in this debate will not pull any punches, this man needs to be forced from power and discouraged from ever holding any position of authority ever again.
    He needs to have his face rubbed into the reality that he so thoroughly denies.

    Excluding bankers and politicians on every level, he has impacted every person in this country in some way, he lies, deceives, denies and robs everyone else’s wealth and as he has shown at yesterday’s chimp party, he still believes that he can make promises that will be believed.

    Amateur attempts to bribe the voters with utter crap like” IF we are re-elected we will abolish hospital parking charges” Charges that should never have been levied in the first place.
    If this is such a good idea Gordon, then do it NOW, because nobody believes a word that you say – period. Zimbabwe Dollars are worth more than your bullshit promises.
    Go on, abolish hospital charges TODAY, give some help and relief to the population instead of just shafting them royally and then some more.
    Show us that you can deliver something positive for ordinary folk.

    You can’t and you won’t because you are loser, an utter failure, totally useless.

    Every decision that you made has been wrong. Every decision you made took more freedom away from ordinary people or stole more their wealth only to be lost in some financial cesspit or into the pocket of a Labour crony or illegal immigrant.

    One achievement of yours is however worthy of thunderous applause and accolades and that is you have destroyed the Labour Party for ever and maybe relegated socialism to the ranks of college politics, way below even the smallest of irrelevant political philosophies – splendid ol’ chap, these things make me feel less angry about your personal retirement pot.
    Killing off the Labour Party and awakening the majorities’ awareness of the monstrosity called socialism, is a real and positive achievement, although I am certain that it was blowback rather than your intent.
    But it’s probably is a fair exchange for your pension – so go off this week and enjoy it, before the gnawing pains of your failures tormenting your every moment finally persuade you to reach for the revolver and single malt.

    I’m a little wary about the pervading political consensus for ‘savage cuts’ culled from an increasingly bloodthirsty media. Looking to bolster and prioritise yet again the needs of a corrupt free market that far from setting us free has held as to ransom and bankrupted us is insane. And now overbearing vested interest serving Tory and business commentators have the nerve to ask that we slash and burn vital public services to hurry along the next dawn of another false economy for the selfish needs of a breed of authoritarian financiers who view themselves as untouchable and the wider public at large irrelevant.

    Of course the Private Sector that brought itself and the rest of us down through a crude belief that unregulated free markets run by the world’s greediest people is the key to a fair and just world is unrepentant. Brown is an easy scapegoat but for years the right-wing media were whining that New Labour’s concessions and Blair’s promise to act as heir to Thatcher did not go far enough. As recently as 2005 Thatcheriter Andrew Neil (on the left wing beeb in case you were wondering) was preaching the need to de-regulate financial sectors more and Tory commentators from the Telegraph to the Mail swore by a free market without regulation.

    All Tories have and always will. It’s central to their warped ideology. The Tories began mass de-regulation in the 80′s but ignored the warnings that inevitable recessions bestowed upon a weary nation. Thatcher’s heir and New Labour took Casino banking to it’s logical conclusion but to draw a dividing line between New Labour, the Republicans and Cameron’s cronies is laughable. The only difference would have been zero public spending, crumbling hospital wards and no minimum wage. Not that New Labour deserve a round of applause. Far from it. Brown’s attempt to woo the Sun, Mail et al with sadistic
    imagery of teenage girls being ‘punished’ and locked up in bail hostel type accomodation is typical of a political process where hysterical populism and not radical policy rules with an iron fist.

    The hypocrisy is rampant. If it takes years to pay off the debt so be it. Fragmenting communities and slashing jobs, public services and hope, education, ambition and oppurtunity will cost us far more in the long run. Look at the communities left to rot in the Tory years. They’re yet to recover so why sow the seeds for another generation of neglect? If the Private Sector don’t like it let them dig deep into their own bulging pockets, bonuses and billions they’ve swaged over the years and put some money back in our economy themselves. The financial sector’s worth has long been overplayed and isn’t conducive to stability anyhow.

    Not that there’s change afoot of course. Cameron seems to have based his whole ideology on tired Reagan/Thathcerite refrains and the opening scene of 1999 political parody Bulworth Change the word millenium to decade
    and you have Cameron’s Conference speech in a nutshell. “We stand at the doorstep of a new decade, we need to reduce our bloated Federal/public Government and cut wasteful welfare to work schemes. I believe in decent, hard working people. I believe in a hand, up, not a hand down.” Sound familiar? Who says Neo-Conservatism is dull, prehistoric and predeictable?” Cheer up, there’s change afoot this time. I feel it. We stand at the doorstep of a new decade you know.

      The problem was a lack of competing currencies, which allowed the state to inflate the amount of credit via regulation. The only regulation needed is to adjust bank reserves with changes in M4. Regulation that favours fewer larger banks in a cartel, over more and smaller competing banks.

Even the egotists and founding fathers you delusionary oiks worship have put up their hands to the bloated exuberence and greed of Capitalism. Get over it.

        The State too powerfu? I agree. The overbearing Private Sector State that’s really in control needs minimising so goon squad authoritarian sadists like Bush don’t gain control again and kickstart illegal wars for the benefit of oil and his slippery chums who get to set the agenda and pump the media with vested interest serving Neo-Conservative propaganda. Just look at the nonsense and blatant lies News International pumped out about our NHS. The participants in the advert were manipulated and misled for the sake of the usual right-wing never mind the truth codswallop which had nothing to do with the millions of funds pumped into the Republican Party from pharmaceutical companies I’m sure.

        Pro choice? You’re having a laugh. All our essentials are held in the grubby hands of the spectre of Private Sector greed. Electric, Gas, Water and our finaces in the hands of unelected business interests who also get to privatise and control our streets with surveillance whilst building a profile on all of us by
        snooping on our internet affairs. Pretty soon there’ll be telescreens in all our houses where we’ll be tied to chairs and forcefed Mudoch approved propaganda

        Still, it was fun to drop in and hear such insightful, compelling analysis. Let me know when the news hits home that the world is actually round. Just cos Murdoch says different doesn’t make it so I’m afraid. So long you mind numbing, tedious, Corparate, conformist cocksuckers.

    From the Telegraph:

    Anyone typing “Labour” into the search engine early this afternoon was met with a sponsored link pointing to the home page of the party’s official website.

    The text read: “You can’t trust The Sun. Wrong on Hillsborough, Wrong on Labour”.

    Labour has vehemently denied that it was responsible for the adverts, which were taken down by 2.15pm. “It’s nothing to do with us,” a party spokesman said.

    It would be unprecedented for a ruling party to launch a direct attack on a newspaper before a general election, but there would be nothing to stop Labour supporters or activist groups acting independently if they had the funds.

    The Sun apologised for its coverage of the Hillsborough disaster in 2004, but many Liverpool supporters still refuse to buy the paper for reporting that fans had urinated on rescuers and robbed the dead in the aftermath of the tragedy.

    The pro-Labour adverts appeared to be a direct response to the promotional campaign launched by The Sun to publicise its decision to abandon the party after 12 years of support.

      I think his argument regarding Bee-Enn-Pee was that he had heard unsubstantiated reports that some teachers who were members were indoctrinating young minds.What about those teachers who are Labour activists they’ve been indoctrinating young minds with their slanted left wing views for decades and nobody is trying to ban Labour Members from the teaching profession,

      The better policy is that all teachers must NOT be members of any political party – or stand for political office -well that’ll get rid of 50% of the Labour Party Members overnight

        Plenty of left wing indoctrination at my old comprehensive in the late 70′s and early 80′s and yes, I was ridiculed in class because I said that I thought Mrs. Thatcher had better ideas than Michael Foot.
        But this is fine.
        Is there any other political party that you can lose your job by simply being a member?
        Freedom of speech as long as you say what we will let you.

          My kids have been told over and over again at School (private schools too) that Margaret Thatcher was appalling and terrible, etc. Each time this assertion is made I explain why I consider her to be on a par with Churchill as the greatest Prime Minister of the 20th century, and aks them to explain what they think was so terrible about Lady Thatcher. They are unable to say WHY they hold this view, but the effect of the indoctrination is so great they have problems facing it. Notwithstanding this one of them is already a Young Conservative or whatever they are called nowadays so I suspect the damage is not permanent. And they all HATE Gordon Broon.

          Mind you they were also told other politicaly correct claptrap, like for example that the ozone layer is being destroyed by people driving cars. (Eh?).

          Your other point is valid, if parties are going to be banned for holding extreme views and aligning themselves with violent ideologies, then let’s ban ALL socialist parties, not just one National Socialist party.

          But as a Conservative I favour freedom of speech and would ban no parties. I think this banning idea is extremely damgerous.

    During this interview Gordon Brown’s achiles’s heel was there for all to see, he loves to preach and will not tolerate any questioning of anything he says, if it does not go this way then his bad temper kicks-in. A recipe for disaster on a teeivised head to head encounter with the other party leaders.

    A few years ago John Humphries was interviewing David Cameron, more like continually interrupting him. Cameron could not answer three words before the next interrruption came, Cameron did not lose his cool he simply said to Humphries, John you cannot continue like this, if you do, you will be interrupting yourself next. Temper maintained, point made.

    A few days later John Humphries was on record as saying it was not the best interview he had ever conducted.

      Brown wasn’t really ‘grilled’ by Boulton and Williams either. He was asked reasonable (and inevitable) questions, and he resented them. People are just not saying and thinking what he wants and asking him the questions he wants to be asked. He takes it as a personal attack. Harman too is treating dissent as a wanton act of agression. Is Brown’s disorder spreading to those around him, or has he just surrounded himself with Hunts who share some of his worst features?

Now that was worth waiting for. Given his personal tastes it’s hardly supprising he doesn’t know the difference between a ‘chump’ and a ‘Hunt’. Come to think of it, he’s a chump with a brazillian, something else he hasn’t got quiet right. Nice to see him lose his rag, not know what to do or say. We’re all laughing at you Labour scum, laughing at you on a political level and a personal one………..you deserve it for what you’ve done to this once great country, rot in hell. It’s got to the point now where I don’t think there’s much left for you to damage, so stay put to the end. Those of us who have suffered at your hands deserve to see you squirm before we annihilate you and your wretched party at the polls.
