Jonah Brown met Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai on Monday in Downing Street. As ever, doom was sure to follow. On Wednesday Dubai announced it could no longer service billions in debts, raising fears of a sovereign default, triggering global stock markets to tumble this week amid fears of the dreaded double dip.
The malign hand of Jonah Brown strikes again…

Oh for fucks sake Jonah. This is getting ridiculous. Why don’t you just go and do us all a favour and hang yourself you worthless piece of shit!
Isn’t Gordon trying to get them to invest in britain, like the ports?
I seem to recall the USA banning such foreign investment in natitonal strategic thingies
And just 12 months ago Jonah was strutting all over the UAE pleading for money and lower oil prices. Dubai it seems has no oil.

What’s wrong with Zionists? Do you want to see Israel abolished?
No, but why do a free Palestine and a free Israel have to be mutually exclusive?
Just a thought.
We are at war with Eurasia!
We have always been at war with Eurasia!
War will set you free comrades!
Through your strength and labours we shall be victorious!
Ask the Koran!
Because the muslims won’t allow it.
I do – there’s plenty of spare land in the US if the Jews want to make their own little apartheid state – no reason at all why they need to have their shitty little enterprise in Palestine.
Jooooooooooos!
Jooooooooooooooooooooooos!

I think the abolition of banks would be a better place to start.
they could be locked up for their abuse of language.
Take but one simple example:
Is this English? It came in an e-mailed notiifcation of overdraft “facility”:
“The law of Scotland applies to the overdraft agreement and our relationship with you. All the information in this letter, our Bank Account conditions and our other documents is in English which is the language we will communicate with you in.”
It’s the “with you in” that gets me.
Is this what is termed ending sentences with a preposition?
Perhaps a propositioin of custodial sentences without end for those responsible for issuing such rot. Then, in the absence of banks, politicians would not be able to exercise power over us.
End of problems!
I would rather support Zionism than islamism and I wear my Israelli defence force T-shirt and fly the star of David with pride.
Most of us would rather have a million jews in the UK than a dozen islamist enemies.

From the BBC: “Mein Kampf a hit on Dhaka streets”
“Booksellers touting their wares amid the heavy traffic in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, have discovered an unusual best-seller.
Adolf Hitler’s autobiography manifesto Mein Kampf is selling as well as Dan Brown’s latest novel, The Lost Symbol”
“Last week, Mein Kampf did unusually well because many bought the
book to give it away as an Eid present.”
How long before Al-Beeb delete that story?
And Mein Kampf is the required reading of every Hamas militant
Perfect utterly perfect and post of the week goes to mad rassah who is now in hiding from a fatwah?
Its an explosive issue or will be when our resident mustafa leek can get hold of some fertilizer after his giro comes in.
How interesting. And how unsurprising.
You use every opportunity to defame the Jewish national home.
Yet you whine every time it is defended.
Democracy only works when it agrees with your warped world view I guess.
Again. Now why doesn’t that surprise me?
Can we – in Churchills own words,more or less- give him the tools to finish the job?
I can donate a length of rope – we have it in the boot in case the car is stuck in a ditch.
Any other offers?
Guido,
I think you have shown enough examples now of the curse to turn it into it’s own book… The Curse Of Jonah – it could be a Christmas best seller!
Oh if only Brown had been prudent. We could have bought all these oil-rich arabs assets in a firesale for pennies in the pound as they tried to reorganise the debts of their insane property bubble.
Light on in Browns ed. To protect UK interests from Climate Change, Brown offers to buy sand from Dubai in a landmark deal for an injection of 80bn dollars the UK will own the sand in the desert.
This Sand will be transported to the UK and used to build uop sand castles around the coast as a first line of defence against the tides.
And you lot thought I was useless.
End result I have saved the World again, Dubai is now safe, our coast is safe, just ask that little scottish cun’t on BBC programme and we own a 80% share in the Desert with no Oil or Gas which is fulfilling our CO2 climate change objectives.
RBS will lead manage the operation and bankers will bring the sand back in their cases and pockets. And you thought I was mad.
ha h ah ha ahe he he he hah ah aha If I ruled teh World every day would be the fist day of WInter. Sorry Harry Seacomb
Of course nobody in this government (or Dubai’s) saw any of this happening.
Because they’re imbeciles.

Brilliant Guido. Do you think Bermuda will go for independence once he leaves this weekend. It has only been with us for 400 years, so nothing concrete in the relationship.
Hamilton Bermuda: Bye Bye Queenie hellos Obamao please send us some more Uighurs for Christmas and fund us 2bn per year and you can have us.
Bermuda. England’s first colony. Not including Ireland. Or Scotland.
Or Wales
Or Calais
No – Barbados 1605 or better still Newfoundland 1583
What are the odds that Bermuda will get hit by a massive hurricane this weekend?
Is he going to Bermuda? I thought the Commonwealth jamboree was in Trinidad. Stopping off?
Might as well. Another photo for his scrap-book/autobiography.
He’s more like Mugabe every day. This is what Bob used to be like in the days before he daren’t leave the country in case there was a coup while he was gone.
Flying here, there and everywhere with state TV broadcasting what an international statesman he was.
We’ve already got the triumphal crowd scene filled, natives crying at what a great and generous man Gordon is.
Don’t forget to pay your TV tax. I need it for my £330,000 pa salary. Take that you hideously white middle-class sexists.
Taxi!
Surely Bermuda will now disappear in to it’s own Triangle?
It’s too late in the year for hurricanes. Perhaps a tsunami? A cold snap? Pollution in the water, requiring Bermudians to take their drinks without ice?
SELL! SELL! SELL!
SELL EVERY FUCKING INTEREST YOU HAVE IN DUBAI!
SELL IT NOW MOTHERFUCKER!
DO IT NOW!
SELL SELL SELL!
Too late.
If everyone is screaming, the last lifeboat has already departed.
Er…, Boss you told me to fiddle the figures on how many lifeboats we have really got – we actually have just one – sorry.
I’ll send it back to get you after I’ve been rescued!
You are TaT and I claim my free luxury flat in Dubai.
I simply refuse to accept your premise.
There once was a man with a curse

Legal minds>>>?
Hmmm, now, would that be the false passport that Baroness Scotland said she saw…??
Presumably if the Baroness did see a passport with a fake visa in it it lets her off the hook to some degree?
would a cleaner go to the expense of even having a fake visa?
We need t get the Aspergers chap who is soon to fly off for a 60 year vacation to ‘It all started in America’ to hack into the home office to find the truth.
We in Labour only like to attack and bully the disadvantaged and defenceless.
Labour – cos every bully has it’s day.
1. she employed an illegal immigrant
2. she broke her own effing law by not taking photocopies of the passport and visa
i am sure she did not even look at the passport
this was the point of the “photocopy law”
arrogant bitch, bet she does not even have a work visa
this is what happens with positive descrimination
This doesn’t just smell – it bloody stinks.
She may be the bank robber,but by God, Barren Ness Scotland was the getaway driver.
I want to know more about the Serbian ‘legal manager’
How exposed are taxpayers to the debts of Sheikh Mohammed, via Lloyds, HBOS, RBS etc?
I sincerely hope some of those guarantees agreed by an undemocratic despot and his harebrained acolytes that we taxpayers were never going to have to meet aren’t about to be met.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc was the biggest underwriter of loans to Dubai World, according to Bloomberg.
Cough up again, taxpayer.
Various people are reporting numbers in the $50Bn area.
For everyone else, that’s only tuppence ha’penny, but it’s about 30Bn in our toilet paper pounds.
HBOS has the vast majority of that. Which leads me to wonder if any of the assets on their balance sheet ever actually had a true positive value at any point in time…
once again Gordon’s reverse king’s evil does it work. Anyone he touches now develops scrofula or other medieval skin diseases.
someone take him out before he wrecks the country , oh wait
He has doomed us.
If everything the one eyed moron touches is doomed, Mandelson must be very worried about getting galloping knob rot.

Oops Dubai World is this years Lehman’s.,
Gordon Browns hexes world again, and serves double dip cold guacamole.
Timber…, what’s me brokers number?
It sure ain’t over. If Brown thinks this financial crisis is going back to America any time soon, I think he will be sadly disappointed.
Guido the City is well and truly fkd now.
Frog gets the job Brown should have won for UK
With his internal market job Mr Barnier will control supervision of the EU market for financial services, most of which is in the City of London.
Expect VAT on trading shares, on Insurance products, on currency dealings, except Gold, The French like Gold and have it stored under the beds.
Expect Paris and Frankfurt to become leading financial centre of EUssr
“EUSSR”

I loved this bit. The Irony is delicious. Within hours the whole investing world had an angst tremor.
‘They also discussed strengthening ties between the UAE and the UK in areas such as education, investment and commerce, as well as joint efforts to mitigate the effects of the global economic downturn.
Mr Brown said he was impressed with the quick recovery made by the UAE economy, praising the country’s efforts to protect investments.’
Well he cannot be right every time.
Mrs T also visited Gordon on Monday.
I see he’s now gone to Trinidad…poor sods, I wonder what their jinx will be .
The hurricane season is supposed to officially end this weekend, not if “Jonah” is on his way, the islanders need to head for higher ground.
They do say that Hurricane Gordon is on route and presently brewing in the Carribbean.
Quick get round to Eaton Sq and check Margaret is okay – and don’t spare the horses.
Maggie may @ 53. No sign of Mrs.T. at Eaton Sq. D’ya want me to try a different square a little farther south?
Shame, I always fancied retiring to Trinidad. Guess it’s too late now.
don’t feed the troll
I guess putting the Sheikh’s name in my post was enough for it to be blocked…
Anyhow,
I wonder how much of Dubai’s debts are owed to the likes of Lloyds, HBOS, RBS etc.
I really hope those taxpayer guarantees agreed by Jonah and his harebrained acolytes that were never going to be needed are about to be needed.
Yes, the UK banks are in a panic perhaps.
HSBC exposed to$17bn apparently
OH OH!
This is crazy, awaiting moderation for using the words She..ik and \dubai. \someone should take a hammer to the auto-censor.
My original message has now appeared after an indeterminate period.
I knew it, not one week can pass without the “Jonah Curse”. What next folks, we have had it all, floods, fire, plague, financial crash, could there be anything else. Oh yes, maybe, there is the “Iraq Inquiry” underway, that should put paid to any hope of a week without a “Brown Down” disaster.
ha ha
Children’s Secretary Ed Balls said there was no evidence that the schools in Slough and Haringey, North London were failing to meet standards.
Is that standards in radicalising Muslim youths tio grow up to be suicide bombers.
If it looks like a front organisation, if it feels like a terrorist organisation, perhaps one should be a little more careful with our Tax money.
Close it down and close the foundation and proscribe Vickey Pollard’s Muslim group Hiz-But- Tahriri
Going to watch the cricket now, don’t tell me Brown has phoned the England team to wish them luck.
Isn’t there some BT phone number you can ring to get nuisance/impending doom calls blocked?
It’s uncanny, meets Dubai sheik on the 24th nov, Dubai declares itself bankrupt on the 26th, Gordon the uncanny Scotsman, cognitive dissonance strikes again.
Denmark is fucked as of the 7th of December as soon as his plane hits the Tarmac
McJonah is going to” save the worlds climate ” just as he saved the worlds banking system
So Cardiff bay can look forward to a Tsunami and Hull will be under 40 feet of water by Christmas
What a fucking c unt
He’s cutting it very fine. Most of us would need at least a couple of months to save the world’s climate.
He thinks he’s Captain Picard of the Star Ship Enterprise, its easy you just say “let it be so” and then walk off to your state cabin for a Venusian brandy and a game of 3 dimensional chess.
How inconvenient for Brown and Darling – the so called “economy turning a corner by end of December” my arse!
Yeah,turning a corner in to a cul de sac.
We need a cull and a large waste disposal sack.
I think what has really spooked these overpaid “b” wankers is the fact that the announcement in DoBuy was made the day before a public holiday in the Middle East.
If I was paid millions,I wouldn’t mind the uncertainty – kind of goes with the turf?
Probably learnt that trick from Gordon… good day to bury bad news.
It might have the opposite effect – people tend to gather together for Eid, and the Dubai economy is sure to be a hot topic for the crowds.
I reckon they would have preferred to delay the announcement but were forced to make it because they were about to default.
We need to find a good use for Jonah McBroon and I have found it. With his talent he can redeem his wrongdoings by making this nation great. We just need to harness his powers to serve the nation.
Think about it……we know the extent of his destructive power it is not prisoner to the time or space continuum. He cursed the US dollar with great effect.
If we could use him as a travelling plenipotentiary quangocrat, nations would quake at the thought of his malign presence and give us their gold.
We need to break out of our cynicals anf find good uses for Jonah.
Think of the money we could save on Defence, we could probably dispense with nuclear weapons. There are too many examples of the destructive power of this curse…..Nations really do fear him. ….Cameron must consider releasing the Kirkcaldy Kraken and put the fear of God into these nations….only with their gold will we recover our financial position
Guido, please lobby for this proposal…..
Ime hoping he converts to Islam !
Fuck off, Fabian.
I would totally sort everything out.
You have my word homie.
This is no joke any more. The man is cursed!
Brown won’t let banks fail, period.
British Banks lent heavily to Dubai, without collateral.
Dubai goes tits, (inevitably).
Banks go to Brown (inevitably)
Public debt goes through the roof.
Brown prints more dough (inevitably).
Inflation increases (inevitably).
UK Bankrupt
UK goes under. (But not till after the next election).
EU buys the UK.
All sovereign powers transferred to Brussels.
Single currency imposed and British people taxed up the arse forever more.
And still, *still* 20% of this braindead nation will vote for him…
Well thats the bailed out banks fucked again, the taxpayer may just have to cough up anther few billion pounds to cover the losses, after all the banksters simply cannot do without their bonus this Christmas(winterval) can they?
Everybody wins in Broon world, the Banksters get paid regardless of whether they make or lose money, Brown gets paid whether he fucks everything up or not and the taxpayer gets fucked over and mired in debt for another few decades.
It looks like McBust will be printing another few hundred billion pounds in fake money to cover the cost Wiemar style.
Breaking News.
Waddingtons Games to be nationalised. The treasury needs all that cash they print for Monopoly to bail out Dubai.
How about Jonah wishing himself the best of luck?
Just a thought.
Splendid proposition…
hes not just done Dubai hes done us all !
Fatso Gordo Inflating Rapido
Jonah could make a fortune by charging a fee from any individual/country/organisation in return for promising to completely ignore them.
Too late. He already is.
I need him to stand still for about 10 seconds…
The Saviour of The World agreed that, in general, a little retail therapy at Harrods was just the thing to stimulate the economy of Dubai.
Here’s a nice little picture of the Berk.
