Actually, he’s just a disaster…
He should be carrying his paunch around in a wheelbarrow.
Almost as good as Cameron cycling with his driver carrying his briefcase in the car.it was that sort of booboo.
Frankly he’s just making an unseemly meal out of his Afghan visit. He’s following in Cameron’s footsteps – yet again – and desperate to steal a few headlines: hence the “first British PM in a warzone since Winston” line… (he’d not be fit to do up Winston’s bootlaces, in my view).

Indeed, you can well imagine what Churchill would make of Jonah.
If anyone has any spiritualist friends perhaps they could ask him.
(Could they also ask my Great Grandad where he buried his savings)
W.W.
Churchill would have regarded McMental, quite rightly, as the enemy.
Your Great Grandad buried his savings amongst other things UP MY ARSE.
Not fit to lick the soles of Churchill’s boots.
Psst
Anyone seen the weather forecast for Denmark this week? Should make great TV

Why are they saluting Him?
We did not want to shake hands anyway. From his history none of us wanted his blessing, or curse and become the next serice victim/casualty
He’s not just a disaster he’s a bloody disgrace to the office of Prime Minister…
AND
The troops are saluting him as a courtesy to the office of Prime Minister NOT to him personally although I Suggest that many of our armed forces would be happy to offer him the good old Anglo-Saxon Two Finger salute
Sorry but the PM does not hold a rank. The head of the armed forces is the queen not some fat jock one eyed gay boy.
We never saluted politicians when I served. Did it change under that other jock gay boy Bliar or something?
Brown DOES hold a rank – his rank is;
Corporal Wanker
Just upped his rank to Major Catastrophe I think. Or is it Colonel Bogey?
General Mayhem
Private Parts ?
Leading Hand ?
Turd Mate ?
Leading Stoker Ben Doone and Captain Phil McAvity ?
And bringing up the rear, Corporal Punishment and Major Cryme !!
Actually. GB’s a high wanking officer. So there !
The two-fingered salute is Welsh.
Welsh archers used it to demonstrate that they hadn’t been captured and had their bowstring-pulling fingers cut off.
Bollox
correct reason wrong about the Welsh though. It was used by the English forces against the French though no doubt there were Welsh amongst them as well (that amongst the French I mean)
Pays de Galles
There were Welsh and English bowmen at Agincourt. They all used the well known bi-digital “salute” as a sign of defiance. Use it when the party workers knock on your door next March and come grovelling for your votes.
They were saluting the officer behind him , not the fucking clown running to get his photo in the papers !
I’m surprised it wasn’t a one fingered salute.
Or the Benny Hill kind.
Good question. He’s just a civilian not El Presidente. I assume the Brits salute because he is a Minister appointed by HM the Queen. In that sense it’s like trooping the colour and is a way of showing their loyalty to the Crown. In that way it is bound up in the arrangements dating back to the restoration.
Personally I think he has shattered our constitutional arrangements: Overseen a massive attack on the rights and freedoms of British Subjects, Neutered Parliament, undermined the Monarchy and put the armed forces in unnecessary danger. I don’t think a PM has managed to do all of those things before. It’s quite an achievement really. In saying that I’ve probably managed to prop up Labour’s core vote as it’s a policy platform most of which they would support. No matter, if Overachieving-Amazing-Ultra-Great Britain is to be destroyed then we should at least honour what was good in it.
The Afghan bloke who doesn’t shake [please insert insulting nickname]’s hand can salute anyone he likes.
No we don’t salute our politicians, in the US the President is you Commander in Chief, in the UK that is the monarch.
I presume they are, technically, saluting the dude escorting him, who looks like a fairly typical buftie. I further suspect that the rigid adherence to military protocol was a choice, not simply the inevitable outcome of destiny pre-ordained.
I guess that’s right.
I did however quiz some military sources on this point at lunch and apparently back in the days when PMs wore hats they would be saluted only if they were wearing a hat. The PM in question could then doff his hat to them in recognition. Thereby not being overtly militaristic but not ignoring the military either. A very good solution, time to bring back hat wearing.
I seem to recall it is perfectly acceptable to salute a lady as it equates to doffing your hat. In the days of yore it was probably the norm to doff your hat to the PM.
top boy has seen enough.
brown is finished.
note to PLP: make immediate arrangements for the replacement of gordon brown.
no appeals will be heard.
They look like Afghanistan troops to me and probably too scared to stop saluting and take his hand.
it is no surprise he will not shake brown’s hand, brown has after all he underfunded the soldiers in Afghanistan during his time at the treasury so badly they were sent into the country with five bullets each.
he has failed to supply sufficient helicopter support to the troops.
he has failed to supply sufficient body armour.
not the way to earn the hearts and minds of the forces, is it?
gordon brown is finished.
the PLP must replace him immediately.
Tat, you just want to get rid of Brown because you know that if he stays your dreams of a hung parliament will be shattered. Tut tut, tat.
but if brown stays that increases the chances of a hung parliament.
silly.
How?
I am not here to give you free political pointers. figure it out for yourself you dullard.
I have worked it out. Brown stays, no hung Parliament.
TaT doesn’t have a crystal ball. His opinions are baseless guesstimates at best. BTW NuLabour will get decimated in the GE. Whether it is next week, next month or at the last possible moment. He is really disliked by so many people. The Polls keep on referring to Party affiliations. there is NO adjustment for the Jonah with labour. They continue to ask the wrong question. The spread betting has not moved on a Tory majority. It will be considerably better than a simple workable Majority. As soon as the election is called, Brown will surpass himself with one clusterfuck after another. Cameron doesn’t have to lift a finger.
Army protocol requires a salute not a hand shake.Note the salute.
tell us fair play, what do you do for a living?
are you speaking from personal experience as a soldier?
or are you just a troll?
Obvious that saluting isn’t very usual on your sink estate.
To quote from ARRSE:-
“‘Calculated insult IMO…’
‘You salute the Office, not the man, if you shake his hand, you’re greeting the man.’
‘IE,Our boss,HM The Queen.”‘
Saw the outstretched hand on the news. Bad form! Mind you, the Yanks never stop shaking hands, even with people they meet every other day. Odd.
Perhaps the soldier is related to the copper guarding No.10, and is just getting his own back… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K68THqDqPKc
He’s dressed accordingly after this incident! See
http://oldrightie.blogspot.com/2009/12/brown-shows-off-his-helmet-captions.html
Yes and in response to the caption on the link,the difference between Susan Boyle and Brown are numerous;
One is liked,makes people happy with their performance,tries very hard,has had a difficult upbringing and succeeded,MAKES money and liked around the world.
The other one is hated,despised,loses our money,spends our money,never came second in ANY vote cos there never WAS a vote,is a liar,a thief and a bully.
Susan – we salute you.
Brown – drop dead with a very painful death NOW.
Number 10 has dismissed the rumour that UK soldiers in Afghanistan refused to shake the Prime Minister’s hand as “completely untrue”.
The Prime Minister’s spokesman said that during the weekend visit by the Prime Minister, “the mood of the troops was very positive”, and that while he accompanied the Prime Minister throughout, he didn’t see a single example of a soldier refusing to shake his hand
Someone had best send The Prime Minister’s spokesman a link to this Blog then.
http://page.politicshome.com/uk/number_10_soldier_snub_rumours_completely_untrue.html
He’s fucking written letters to the X fucking Factor finalists!!!! WTF is this man doing? I could understand writing a letter to Dannii or Cheryl (or in his case the young boy who won – fancy playing my banjo string yung un?) but ffs etc etc ad nauseam.
Ryan Giggs will be out for the rest of the season with an injury
X Factor
The Prime Minister was unable to see the final of tv talent show The X Factor, but has written private letters to all three contestants “congratulating them on reaching such a high stage of a national contest”.
He has also written to Ryan Giggs, winner of the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year competition
Nice to see Gordon has his priorities right. It only took him two years to write to a dead soldier’s family.
http://page.politicshome.com/uk/number_10_soldier_snub_rumours_completely_untrue.html
Perhaps this will be the first year an Xfactor finalist does not have a Christmas number one?
Brown writing letters. Did he get any of the names right this time?
Miss Tracey Soloman
Mr Joe McEldeberry
Mr Oily Mires
Oily Muffs ?
Would any of the troops want to shake his snot covered hand anyway, tainted as it is with the blood of soldiers who he denied proper protection & transport to? Come on you Taliban – let’s see some action. McSnot would cower with fear.
His dad was that policeman who Brown would not shake hands with outside No 10 which the President of the USA did.
Beacause it’s the right thing to do….
Wouldn’t p*ss on him if he was on fire either.
A THUMPING FIRST FOR LABOUR
I thought twats who said first were to be fucked off.
The curse of Gordon goes before him. Any soldier shaking his hand must know that he will be in Wootton Bassett before the week is out.
Gordon couldn’t give a damn about Wooton Bassett. He’s far too busy writing letters to the X Factor finalists, telling media kids about his favourite biscuits and watching Strictly Come Dancing. God preserve us from this man and his priorities.
Nice one! Though I was a bit put out to read that his visit was a “moral boost for the troops”.
I think it was a misprint for ‘moral boot’.
Well, they could use him for target practice.
Reminds me of Cameron and the cycle and the car with his briefcase .Same sort of silly mistake.
Not much of a challenge, that.
Morale boost? Or did he lecture them on the importance of leading a clean life?
Morale boot?
I can just imagine what it would do to my morale if I was struggling away in the dust and trouble, and that Jonah hove into view.
Morale would be more correct.
sorry
I thought it said “Immoral boast”.
Excllent “sting”
Surprised you haven’t used the unflattering photo of Brown in full body armour and helmet
Just small enough to ensure most of his gut is still exposed
Quite funny.
Not sure if that’s a British soldier refusing to shake his hand, or an Afghan soldier.
Still, it’s a snub.
that man is an unbelievable tit.
From where I’m sitting the salutee deserves a fucking medal
Brown is the salutee.
The soldiers are saluters.
In my day, the PM or other grandee would be wearing a hat, and the correct response to a salute aimed in his direction would be a brief raise of the hat.
whats the matter with our troops I thought they were supossed to kill the “Enemy
It worries me – who’s pulling his strings ??
He knows nothing of the miltary and cares less….his behavior during 10 years in Number 11 shows that.
Gordon was never in 11 Downing Street
You gonna show the next 5 seconds of footage?
You know, the bit where he shakes his hand?
Post it,Duncan.
I’m looking I’m looking…
Just showed it now on BBC News channel
how kind
All the women on the BBC are UGLY, for fucks sake buy some totty.
Duncan, you might have been hallucinating.I need proof.
Yeah yeah, last week’s news, but still, here it is:
http://splithorizons.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-guido-didnt-show.html
Glad he dressed for the occassion. Man at C&A?
That man will be so derided by the men at the front it would scare him.
Now you know what it’s like.
Chump.
Gordon Brown – the comedy gift that keeps on giving
Funny! :)
That guy just saved his own life. If he’d touched Jonah he would have been as good as brown bread……..
Smoking boots would be all that was left on the next mine sweep if he had shaked Jonahs hand.
It was hardly a photo op, was it? To be fair to the man, he was meeting troops in Afghanistan! I don’t think he can be blamed for wanting to shake their hands.
gordon brown underfunded our troops in Afghanistan and as a consequence of brown’s budget cutting during war-time many soldiers have unnecessarily lost their lives. having cut the helicopter budget brown then attempted to argue it would not have saved any soldiers lives anyway. the man has no shame and is a stranger to reality, in short brown is quite mad. and brown’s madness is costing soldiers’ lives.
so do us all a favour anonospaz, pack up your bullshit and fuck off.
didn’t you see the sign on the door as you came in? “NO BROWN APOLOGISTS”
gordon brown, the man you are defending, authorises torture. did you know that?
How many helicopters did the Soviets lose in Afghanistan?
Not having too many helicopters probably has saved lives.
Are the Taliban having a PR makeover?
so how many helicopters did the russians lose? hurry up dimwit.
I do know that they lost 14,000 troops in Afghanistan.
you are very free and easy with soldiers’ lives, aren’t you.
you fucking satanist c’unt.
Nothing to do with me thanks.
taat simply limply tossing out hackneyed insults.
Fungus grows on militarism, it grows fast and self righteously on the right, so exciting see.
Here we go again. The what might have happened scenario. Let’s extend the theory a bit shall we? If we had a few less guns in theatre that would ‘probably have saved lives’
Well not having enough has ‘certainly’ increased the likelihood of casualties and led to deaths.
I think there are parts of your thinking you do need to keep private.About 100%
Whir whir, bang bang
Not having too many helicopters may have saved lives.
In the Soviet era occupation the heroic Johnny Afghan Mujahideen, funded and radicalised by the US CIA became very effective at triangulating fire, especially RPG, on helicopters.
The hairy Afghan is a formidable fighter.
ALLLLLLLLLLLLAHHHHHHHHHHH ACKBARRRRRRRRRRR
‘ taat simply limply tossing out hackneyed insults. ‘
Private Parts = TaT’s ’special’ gay friend = bellend
Schizo prick !
Good isn’t it?
That’s all poor old taat can manage.
Simply limply tossing out hackneyed insults.
Absolutely no imagination or creativity, like a scanner at a supermarket check out desk, ping, ping, ping.
Private Parts, please return to your ward and stop bothering the visitors.
Don’t start biting like last time or we will have to put you back in the cellar.
Just ignore me I am thick as shit most of the time
Anon @ ‘It was hardly a photo op, was it?’ Bless.
Just shows you how little Brown understands the military.
He’s been busy cutting their budgets and running them into the ground for a decade. Must really annoy him to discover he has to pretend to like them now to get re-elected.
You can hardly blame any squaddie for not wanting to touch the Hand of Jonah, it’s as good as a target painted on their forehead.
Blatant opportunism. How come you can’t get some friendly fire when you really need it?
Easy peasy!
I’m on my way
Wait for me
How do you tell the difference between an Italian, a French, a British, an Aussie, and Iraqi or Taliban.
You can’t! They all look the same to me!
Ask the Boche!
Actually, it is perfectly permissible for a senior officer, after acknowledging the presence of a Minister of the Sovereign, to whom he, like the Minister, has sworn allegiance, to shake the hand of the minister concerned. you will notice that the soldier concerned decided to salute as Gordon’s hand shot out for the photo op ,then held the salute longer than would be considered normal practice. I did the same to sleepy Fred Mulley 30 years ago, probably for much the same reasons. I bet you won’t find a shot like that from Dave’s visit.
Fred Mulley the only Labour minister to have slept with Her Majesty.

However he had fought against the Germans in 1940 and spent 5 years as a POW, so he can be forgiven.
What a knob. He now says he is going to make sure they have the right equipment to deal with roadside bombs.
Typical control freak. Having ignored advice and reports for several years he has to go out to see for himself before announcing something that should have been done years ago. Crass opportunism and an attempt to improve his image. Even as Prime Minister Brown has been fighting a New Labour election campaign. That is all.
I despise this creature of the left. I despise his wretched party and his disgusting government. I despise the pathetic trolls who blog his lies and deceit against all common sense and the miserable reality of nearly 13 years of crap government. When they finally go a great weight of oppression will be lifted. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Then we have to winkle out and destroy all the leftie parasites who have burrowed everywhere into our public life.
The military and the MoD will be cut to the bone, whichever party or parties form the next government.
It\’s time for a reality check.
The public sector and welfare state will be cut to the bone whoever gets in next as well.
Quite so. It’s badly overdue you had a reality check.
So your great leader’s pledge to increase funding is untrue then?
How thick is that?
The line literally is front line services will not be cut.
Doh!
Prey tell: what is a ‘frontline service?’
Private Parts.
It’s obvious you’re just a sock puppet for Millbank and not a particularly good one.
You probably don’t know this as you’re too far down the food chain to be told, but the Government pledge to cut costs is a complete sham.
All that is going to happen is that numbers wil be moved and bodies transferred to this mythical ‘frontline’ that the Government daren’t define until they have done the shifting around. That way, they can then exclaim they have cut costs and increased spending on the ‘frontline’. Which then means when they are inevitably cut back they can then, from the comfort of the opposition benches they will be occupying in a few months’ time, say the Conservatives are the nasty party.
So as you can now see, even through your fogged up goggles, this Government care far more about petty political games than making so much as a cursory nod towards improving the perilous state of the country’s economy.
You really should take this reality check you urge others to do. You won’t of course as it doesn’t fit with your salaried agenda. Do keep on posting up your foolish comments though. They’re funny, in a rather pathetic way.
Where the bullets fly and the nerves fray.
Dumb animal, the discussion is defense cuts, the other thicko wanted a definition of the front line.
DON’T MAKE ME DRAW A LINE FOOL
The front line is MoD Whitehall where they Gallantly waste Billions on office refurbishments, procurement, and logistics.
And of course UKBA, who put their lives on the lines by assisting special Labour Voters into the Country. In a very brave way. Nearly a 100 killed this year. None died, but they might have done. Figuratively speaking.
But only to justify high salaries, bonus payments, enhanced pensions, and Inset days for interdepartmental sports and jollies.
So you’re saying that this increase in spending on the military by the Government is temporary?
Thanks for the confirmation of the contempt your idol Mr Brown holds of the people he sends into conflict.
Nike !
You’ve forgotten that they have actually earned medals serving on the front line as well. They’ve gallantly cowered under their desk’s, just behind the concrete barricades and far behind our amazing troops in order to procure, under extreme duress, multitudes of red tape Health and Safety legislation and occasional refusals of body armour ect’ to said troops.
What could we do without them ? (yeah !!! I wish….)
Unfortunately, PP is probably correct; witness the discussions wrt the defence budget currently circulating. Whether that’s ‘reality’ or not remains to be seen. However, hopefully one day PP will need rescuing from a mountain/sea/sand environment and the SAR chaps simply won’t be there…….
I f*cking hate the ‘Prime Mentalist’ name Guido. I think it’s properly offensive. Do you regularly go around calling people mentalists?
I could agree with you if you thought being compared to Gordo was insulting.
Gordon Brown is a FUCKING mental, mentalist !
That’s better.
Said the one can short of a six pack, and brain damaged crack cocaine addict.
It just happens to be a wholly accurate description of a hoon who has ruined and destroyed the country, people’s lives, economy, savings, pensions, you name it the Marxist shite has poured his acidic bile all over it.
Indeed the epithet is far too generous.
I think he wanted to correct this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuk4kALNKX0 error. Where is actually failed to shake the hand of a police officer. No Gordon, the police and the army are not the same thing.
Who would want to shake that bogey-encrusted bag of chippolatas?
All that rehearsal time gone to waste!
You’d need some reassurance that he’d washed his hands wouldn’t you? Awful to think what it might have been touching….
I thought he used Alastair Campbell’s left hand for that?
no it’s mandy’s
Can it be set to music, in the style of the famous Nazi Lambeth Walk parody?
Thanks for that – gave me a right good chortle!
At least one ball Hitler actually did his time in the services before running a country.
And he was elected as his country’s leader.
its amazing how quickly we gropehagen greenshirts have organised their ‘implementors’
Colonel Bogey’s March perhaps.
My failed PR stunt on the Downing Street webchat is now officially finished.
Thank you all for those loaded questions and to all those whose ‘controversial’ questions went unanswered, Fcuk off !
Still can’t believe ITN compared him to Churchill for staying overnight.
Compared gordon to Churchill??!!
+++Laugh+++
That’s like comparing a mouse to a Lion!!
A dead and decomposing mouse at that.
With TaT’s charisma, wit, and personalities.
I wonder if he would fall for the old “there is something on your heal – HELLO SAILOR” trivk
Can’t someone PLEASE do a Berlusconi on him, but harder.
Nothing beats the moment when he ignored the copper outside No 10 while inserting his fat swollen tongue up Obama’s pooper.
You can’t really expect him to understand these details of army protocol when he doesn’t even understand that they need equipment.
There’s no military reason, of course, to salute a prime minister.
Good excuse not to shake his hand though :)
Exactly – if they were not saluting they would have been bound to shake his hand!
Well done to the man who thought of saluting, as a get-out from the usual protocol.
The salute was probably for ‘Rupert’ who is accompanying the bag of decomposing shit.
cant they load him into an artillery cannon and fire him at the taliban. War over! we can pull out mission accomplished
Brown is an embarrassment to the human race – the idiot didn’t even realise that a soldier can’t salute and shake hands at the same time (even I can’t do that!). In any case the soldier was probably a Conservative voter anyway and wouldn’t want to soil his hand with the grime associated with this temporary occupant of No 10 Downing Street. When will Brown realise that no-one is taking him seriously any more and that most people are just waiting for the election so that they can be rid of him and his pathetic bunch of misfit sycophants once and for all.
Just as an aside, do we know that the soldier is British, not some sort Afghany thing?
If it was an Afghani soldier you would see him dropping his spliff before saluting.
Then again, if he was an Afghan soldier do you think he’d actually bother dropping his spliff or even saluting the cretin Brown?
There are no Afghan soldiers.
There are plenty of tribal infiltrators being “trained ” by Nato forces who will later melt away and wreak havoc from the hills when they get the opportunity.
Foolish is a mission that totally ignores or is ignorant of the history of the war theatre.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/copenhagen/article6955750.ece
snigger
fucking blinding caption under the photo. Those subs at the Times are clearly not fans of Gordon and his masterful “image”.
Daddy can I sleep over at my fwends next week?.
Jonah, that’s it a sleep over, that’s got to make me look brave, not on the front line, somewhere that has not been attacked, and is bloody well protected.
Aye! Tha can always rely on old Gordon to fuck up in the PR department – warra plonker! Daft bugger can’t even see that ‘e’s only on borrered time now and that ‘e’ll be another unemployment statistic in a few months. Any way, why should I care? there’s plenty of willing totty around in the corridors of Westminster at t’moment and I aim to get my share before I go out to pasture (or maybe that should be stud!) Warra yer doin’ tonight ‘arriet? cos if yer free, I’ve got one ‘ere for yer lass!
So labours general election campaign is under way then. A caring and concerned PM over in The Afghan, awesome PR. It won’t be long then before Gordon trumpets some bullshit withdrawal timetable scenario, “vote for me and the war ends!! heh heh”
Regardless that its now really the USA and the Pentagon that now determines British Military policy, having been long since sold out by The Labour Party so they could stay in power.
The Jonah curse appears to have killed Copenhagen.
At 11 am the internationally famed slug balancer Miliband announces that El Gordo, king of the world, will fly in early to grandstand before Obama turns up. At 11.47 the entire conference dissolves in rancour as dozens of countries walk out.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8411898.stm
Well done Gordon, top fucking marks, you are the worst person in the world.
I just saw that, Brown announces he’s going, the rest of the world runs like the clappers.
Oh Good!
I get a shot at Harriet at PMQ’s. I can’t wait!
Yeah – the money shot,all over that yukky hairdo.
Prefers Nohopenagen to asnwering some questions obviously
Wonderful news. So the developing nations have realised that ‘the big plan’ is actually to penalise them & keep them in servitude while the ‘developed countries’ go on their merry way. Good luck to the DNs.
He’s after the free rent boys
http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,665182,00.html
Did Brown take some new body armour the MOD is testing (years before it will be in theatre) that would protect UK forces from wounds to the groin due to it having a groin plate to prevent groin wounds? No, nor did he take US body armour with groin protection already in use by US troops that prevents 60% of genital wounds, often total loss of genitalia unlike the UK kit. Or is he too stingy to pay for US body armour so that some lads can come home with a complete set of testicles and penis after suffering a groin wound.

Not the first time that gordon has been snubbed by our brave troops.
When gordon visited the injured at Selly Oak, most of them drew their curtains around their beds so that he knew they didn’t want to meet him.
Roll on the next GE – let’s get rid of this bag of wind.
i would of emptied my colostomy bag on him if i still had arms.
Strong stuff from today’s Independent:
“Marx was right about this Labour government. “History repeats itself; the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” Let us start with the farce, and an apology. Last week, I wrote that as Alistair Darling was interested in sound economic management, he would fend off Gordon Brown’s demands for electioneering stunts. What an embarrassing misjudgement.
This is not a Chancellor determined to prove worthy of his great office. This is a mere monkey to the PM’s organ grinder. Mr Darling delivered one of the most meretricious Budget statements of all time. There was no strategy, no response to the gravity of the situation – just cynicism, cheapness and shallowness. It was a performance worthy of Ed Balls…….continues”

“If he lost, he would have as little interest in Britain’s wellbeing as the Hitler of April 1945 did in post-war Germany’s recovery from defeat.”
Too f***ing right.
The Labour party have never had any interest in Britain’s wellbeing in the first place. Quite the opposite in fact.
To them, Britain and its native population are things to be smashed.
WHERE A IS A HE, I A THUMPA HIS LIGHTS OUT A.
MOMMA MIA.
How many truckloads of SAS minders are there in the background?
All what thatHoonbrown is doing now is as a result of that lying master campbell coming back. So thatHoonbrown is giving campbells arse attention instead of mandelsons. Dont you think thatHoonbrown is so masterful with his photo opportunities organised by campbell?
Thank God we didnt have him in charge when the argies invaded the falklands!!
Did the Argentine land forces fight in the Falklands?
Not really, did they?
More like a turkey shoot, wasn’t it?
Piss off Labour quisling, and that’s coming from me, Dawn Butler, the quisling’s quisling!
Hahahaha
Sorry all I just want everyone to know that I am and will always be a total wanker and I know the British troops in the Falklands fought bravely and with honour against an invading force holding British soverign territory and its people against their will.
I am just like the Labour party I shrill for a total wanker though
Afraid not dickhead. I was there. I came back. A few hundred others did not. A lot of others crippled for life. So keep your clever comments to yourself fuckwit.
Xmas would be very strange indeed if the Turkeys returned fire but in your case I could quite understand why.
I really am not worthy of guys like you. We live our non caring comforable lives while you guys protect us with your lives and with two hands tied behind your back under Brown. Thank you mate for all you and your colleagues do for us civvies. We owe you so much and can never repay the debt we owe. No politician is fit even to lick your boots. Shame we dont have you running the show. Have a great Christmas too and kind regards.
It’s just apart of the service sir.
far better a turkey shoot than brown flyin in to the generals and sigining it over to them. that he would have done.
That is a total disgrace. You should hang your head in shame. The Argentinian pilots are on record as being some of the bravest Pilots ever. Their skill with sub standard Sky Hawks was frequently lethal. They knew that so much flak was available to the fleet.
The conscripts used by the Argentinian Army were below par. But their officers, often Sandhurst trained, were themselves frightened witless by the propaganda inherent in the Armed Forces of the fighting prowess of the SAS, SBS, Gurkhas, Royal Marines, Paratroopers, Guards, etc And probably in that order. They still dug in and gave a good account of themselves against ultra professional soldiers, led by very experienced NCO’s, and directed by excellent officers. Turkey shoot. No. Our troops felt it was a fight that was right.
And still he pronounces Lieutenant – lootenant!
It could be that he’s asking if there is a live in loo tenant.
Not sure why he’d want to know that, but it takes all sorts (as Bertie Bassett knows).
Can’t distinguish between RN and the Army, perhaps/ Or maybe he was right, and the Lt concerned was Royal Marines.
Poor chap. He can’t help being socially inept. One shouldn’t mock the afflicted. It’s not Gordon’s fault that he’s in the wrong job. He could have led a quiet and even slightly useful life as a grumpy historian who hasn’t approved of anything that has happened since 1688. Instead he was forced into politics and coerced, much against his will, into becoming Chancellor and then Prime Minister. You can see how miserable it makes him and how he can’t stand up to the apes and peacocks that surround him, but he does his little best, however inadequate.
“He could have led a quiet and even slightly useful life as a grumpy historian who hasn’t approved of anything that has happened since 1688.”
Haven’t we got enough of these wankers already?
He could work for charity as a washer up in a hostel.
Why did Gordon have to make me his favourite to win the Xfactor?
He absolutely hates females. Unless they are Lesbians. Too true. Weird but true.

So gordon stayed overnight in heavily guarded Kandahar compound.
Wonder if he slept in his two helmets and flak jacket?
Why couldn’t sarah have advised him on suitable clothing for visiting the frontline? He always looks such a farce!!!
Speaking of looking daft, Cameron’s trip to Afghistan showed off his vast bald patch as the wind whipped his ridiculous combover from where it is pasted, normally securely.
A very moving moment.
Thanks again for confirming:
Worst PM ever
Worst Government ever
Worst case of brainwashing ever
Isn’t it? Eh?
It was very moving watching him trying to hang on to his ridiculous hairstyle, really it was.
Thanks again for reconfirming:
Worst PM ever
Worst Government ever
Worst case of brainwashing ever
Isn’t it? Eh?
pathetic
I am a total wanker really I am. I admire Camaron really better than that tosser Brown.
What a total c unt I am though so please excuse me
This is Private Parts, firing blanks for the Labour Party on a daily basis.
‘Why couldn’t sarah have advised him on suitable clothing for visiting the frontline? ‘
She did. That’s what she thinks looks good.
He always wears comfy shoes as well!
Oi! I’m Private Parts and I am still a total tosser
Hang on, every so often I ask myself, is stooging for McSaggy a worthwhile and cool thing to do?
Then I take more happy pills like Gordon does and everything seems better.
That is all.
Kandahar is further from danger than Camp Bastion.It’s also the busiest one runway airfield in the world,so Gordo may have had his flight delayed whilst more important stuff was happening (fighting)
It’s also a NATO air base but with a lot less Brits than Bastion -why did he go there?
Maybe they were deperate to keep him away from where he might do even more damage.
To avoid being insulted by the Brits? And perhaps a bit worried that one of them would turn his gun on Brown?
Why did Gordon have to come to Silverstone and wish me luck, I was the bookies favourite to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
Haven’t you written off your new car yet?
I Gordon Brown, promise to use my own wide experience in the field of battle to get the job done.
Also in light of reserve questions, I have decided to volunteer every able bodied UK citizen from the ages of 18-25 to the front-line in order to provide the army with what they need and give our youth the best start in life with a job.
Yours Sincerely
Gordon Brown PM
writing letters to top 3 contestants X- factor

(I’ve checked this thoroly Gordon. KO to send x x x x x Alistair)
That would get an A* in Labours examinations
As if the troops haven’t got enough to put up with without that wanker jetting in again for yet more grandstanding and pointless photo-ops.
There’s nothing more nauseating than a fucking socialist playing the phoney patriotic card. Do our boys a favour Brown, just piss off and don’t come back.
You’ve know idea how much service personnell hate Brown. They were hating him well before it became fasionable. They know full well who has held the purse strings while they have been sent into two wars lacking armour, bullets, helicopters, vehicles, training – you name it, the UK is short of it.
His snubbing at Selly Oak is indicitive of the general feeling towards him in (at least) the Army.
Spelling is why I fix stuff for a living. And to be clear, I’m sure the Crabs and Jacks hate him too. Just no personal experience in that area.
Tri-service without doubt.
You only need to look on Arrse to guage the feeling within a few comments
That’s the COP15 ruined then, Gordon is flying out two days early because it lacks momentum.
Here’s a choice piece of what our boys in uniform think of the dear leader:
http://www.arrse.co.uk/Forums/viewtopic/t=140051.html
Q.1 Gordon Brown is to spend £10 million on additional equipment to target roadside bombs. Is this:-
a) because 122 soldiers have been killed by IEDs, or
b) because a general election is imminent?
You have 0.5 second to answer.
Brown is a shameless cnut, but so transparent and clueless about the world outside his bubble of henchmen and delusion, that he is a bumbling figure of ridicule.
That is all.
Agreed. Keep on firing Blanks Trooper. Just make sure that your BFA is operative.
That was the funniest thing I’m likely to see all week.
What a complete oaf he is.
Remember the non-handshake on the steps of No 10 when the object of his affection Barry Obama visited?
He can’t even get a simple social courtesy right. Good grief…
That soldier makes me so proud! Exactly what I would expect from an honourable man able to see a fake heading his way!
There is too much negative comment about The Great Leader and his Government of the People and All the Talents.
Please, try and be nice, He is doing his best, He cannot help it if every call he makes is wrong. He cannot help it if everyone He appoints is useless. He is from the people and He alone saved the world…..
oh bollocks, you are right, he is f*cking useless, the sooner he and his cronies are booted out the better for us all !!!
Soldiers don’t salute the PM or any other politician. If they do that’s changed since my days in the forces.
he was approaching an Afghan who was already in salute pose and then walked off with another Afghan still saluting….so salutes all round.The previous Great Leader would have been in a total state of excitement !!
throbbing excitement that is…….
Private Parts what you doing for christmas old boy, want to come round and eat at my place so you are not lonely?
only if it’s a roast
Fave beans, and a nice Chianti.
I’m knock knock knocking on deaths doorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
get down the bookies and put a 100 on Mandela dying in 2010
Gazza comes into our pub if you buy him a pint he sings ‘the mist on the tyne is all mine all mine’
True story.
He is in a permanent fog though.
What a complete bumbling twat!
Is there any truth in the rumour that during Brown’s visits to the troops they have to remove live ammunition from their guns in case one them is tempted to take a shot at him?
No, it’s because there’s no bullets left due to cutbacks.
They have to fight the war with harsh language.
I hope that some media studies types won’t want to reset this clip with the Colonel Bogey March.
It’s sad to see.
I don’t blame the soldier one bit.
Brown’s time is surely past. How much longer must we tolerate him. It will decade a generation to undo the mess he and Labour have wrought on Britain. Let’s get rid of them and get on with the job.
Perhaps his brother is a police officer outside No. 10?
Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman,
Don’t let him come too close to You, he’ll catch you if he can.
They’re not saluting him, they’re saluting the Lieutenant Colonel behind him. The chap refusing to shake his hand is an Afghan – and a rather splendid one too in my opinion.
Descended from canny traders and hagglers, Afghans can spot fake goods a mile away.
Who would want to shake hands with a dirty bugger who picks his nose?
In an echo of the opening quicksand scene in Blazing Saddles: -
Squaddie: Colonel, there could be IEDs out there. Shall I send some camels over?
Colonel: Camels? Hell, no! Camels cost money! Send a couple of cabinet ministers.
It is really revealing to see just how little our Prime Minister knows about military etiquette. Also, just saw this article in the Telegraph where Ayad Jamal Aldin, an Iraqi MP and seemingly a candidate in the new parliamentary elections, says that Iran is behind the kidnapping of Peter Moore. What shocked me the most about this article is that our supposed ally in the War in Iraq, the United States, has been working behind the scenes with the Revolutionary Guard commander in Baghdad and the US knows Iran will take over when they leave. Why are British soldiers continuing to fight and die in this ridiculous war?

Never salute the officer in the field.
So salute Brown as often as possible. It makes him a target.
