The Curse Of Jonah Strikes the “British Spring”
Murdoch’s News International was on the ropes, blows coming from left and right, his power waning. What better time for Brown, still bitter about the day of his conference speech switch of support by The Sun to the Tories, to exact his revenge. But in true Jonah Brown style, he couldn’t even hit the back of the net of an open goal.
Pretending to merely “comment” on two-bit allegations he himself fed to the Guardian, he ignored the fact that the PCC rules allowed the Sunday Times to use subterfuge in the public interest, and he flew a kite with the unsubstantiated medical records claim. Something he had to row back from in yesterday’s interview.
You can bet rivals at the Guardian, The Telegraph and the BBC didn’t expect the Sun’s original source, another father of a child with cystic fibrosis, to be willing to sign an affidavit swearing he had never seen the medical records. Only Gordon could fail so spectacularly to score an open goal and he has managed to derail the Guardian’s campaign – because of him News International have a hook to fight back on and they are with today’s Sun front page. If Gordon wanted he could have gone to the PCC and invoked 6 (v) of the PCC code, which would have killed the story, or complained afterwards. If Rebekah Brooks made him cry it seems odd that he subsequently went to her wedding, attended her birthday party and got Sarah to host a “girls” sleep-over at Chequers with Rebekah Brooks and Wendi Murdoch. A big round of applause for Jonah from Wapping.
*Source for Gordon’s “I will destroy you” threat to Murdoch is the founding chairman of Sky and former editor of The Sunday Times, Andrew Neil.
Gordons back on form then.
Was he ever off form?
Still a monumental cock.
Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda!
can i keep my job now?
All is right with the world, Gordon McMoron is still a useless cuпt.
Gordon Brown – he’s just a bigoted old man!
AS I SAID YESTERDAY
BROWN – always a fking lying scumbag…. STILL a fkin lying scumbag.
His pathetic attempt to look for sympathy & crying about press intrusion. What a joke.
What about the millions of peoples lives you have ruined you incompetent useless bong-eyed bastard.
Now take your crocodile tears and fuck-right-off !
Andrew Gilligan has just been interviewed on SKY news in which he argues that further fettering of the press is unecessary since there is sufficient sanctions already in place. He makes the point that it could be argued that the phone havking which appears to have been rampant in certain sections of the media several years ago has now stopped largely because of the deterent effect in Mulcaire and Goodman going to jail.
This appears to have been the thinking of the Police who had to weigh up the advantages to the public interest of carrying out an extremely lengthy investigation into other instances which in most cases was probably carried out by the same protagonists who were already in jail and the drain on resources which were desperately needed in other matters such as the Terrorist threat amongst other things.
Now I think the Police made the correct decision as the threat of being blown to bits on the Tube or in an airplane is more worrying to me than whether Hugh Grant et all gets caught with his pants down.
In an ideal world ALL crime is investigated but we dont live in an ideal world and priorities and parameters have to be set.
It happens with other criminal enquiries , Fraud for example.
This matter has now become a priority because it became expedient for the Politicians that it did.
Give the Police a kicking if you will but I tell you are barking up the wrong tree.
Good post – thanks.
Uh, Guido, I’m not sure this is really that great for Murdoch & co. The monumentally ill-advised Sun cover merely serves to remind the public that they decided to make a cheap splash out of someone else’s kid’s private illness… and that that “someone”, who was upset by their behaviour yet seemingly unable to do much about it, was the Prime Minister.
The impression isn’t, “oh, that’s OK then”. It’s “damn, they’re incredibly powerful £$%^s who don’t mind feasting on the grief of suffering parents… and they’re so obtuse that they don’t even realise why that’s a problem”.
We’re the public and it seems you’re being massively out voted. Thumbs down for you, numbnuts.
Oh please! He’s got the bloody kid whether he likes it or not. Writing about it in The Sun isn’t going to kill or cure it so why is the twat ‘upset’ and ‘in tears’? I imagine that he LOVED it at the time – all that sympathy for an old scrote because his offspring isn’t normal.
You’re quite wrong.
It was *Brown* that wanted to make a cheap splash of the whole business.
Desecrating a child’s memory was perfectly acceptable if it got him a few sympathy votes.
I think this place is a bit rough and tumble for you. They do all wet and drippy over at Mumsnet, why not try that?
When the concept of Jonah McDoom first appeared on t’interweb, I thought it was quite funny – you know, a bit of a laugh based on a couple of boo boos.
Now I seriously think he really is a Jonah. Everything this idiot touches turns to sh*t.
It’s kind of comforting in this fast moving world that some things never change. Than you Gordon.
Operation Ore ring any bells, Gordon? Mind how you go.
Operation Sell Gold more likely or even Pension Raid.
Unbelievable that this jerk still wants to rule the world. Hitler and Stalin he ain’t – he is just a Jonah.
Hitler tried to destroy the Britsh economy in WWII by printing £134 million of fake money
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2014016/Adolf-Hitlers-fake-British-bank-notes-expected-fetch-2k-auction.html
Bank of England create £200 billion of new fake money to help cover up the Brown bust
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7924506.stm
1492.54 times more than Hitler
Is it worth mentioning that the Grauniad itself was perfectly happy to run the story on 30 November 2006, the same day that it appeared in The Sun? They must have made an editorial decision that it was in the public interest to write about Fraser Brown, rather that it being a purely private matter.
No change there from Gordon, lying and exploiting his own children’s condition for cynical political advantage.
Has the BBC apologised yet for openly allowing Brown to lie repeatedly on their news channels yesterday? Have the BBC set the record straight or asked Brown to state why he lied?
Good God, I thought Brown was dead!
He doesn’t turn up for work at Westminster so I had assumed the best.
He wouldn’t still be claiming an MP’s salary would he?
Surely his moral compass wouldn’t allow what some people might think to be fraud?
And the BBC ran it as though it was the truth, just too tempting for the leftist scum of the BBC. True to form their childish enthusiasm to go for the kill shot has backfired and made them look like complete and utter twats.
“I will destroy you!” Was he talking about the UK?
It can’t be denied. He did.
He had a fucking good crack at it. More success than the Spanish Armada, Napolean and Hitler combined.
If that was Brown’s aim he was sucessful in one thing.
Six million immigrants (or as Al-jabeeba would say- migrants) to “change Britain”.
Wait until he turns on the IMF for not handing him the top job. The world should be quaking.
I suspect he was actually talking to the nokia in his sweaty hand. Andrew Neil claimed he “slams down phone” – I don’t believe that for one moment; that nokia was straight into the wall.
Thanks Bill, enjoyed that.
He certainly destroyed my job.
Just got another one after a very tough year, though. So at least I am back where I was – but he fucking ain’t. Detect the hatred?
my lad reckons gordo couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.
haha haaa ooohh ha ha heee ooh no ha ha heee. haha haaa ooohh ha ha heee ooh no ha ha heee.haha haaa ooohh ha ha heee ooh no ha ha heee. haha haaa ooohh ha ha heee ooh no ha ha heee.
Yeah it was quite funny.
He can’t even manage to plunge the right knife into the right place, that’s certain.
I thought that his wife was a reasonably sensible woman (in spite of marrying him) and imagined that she would be able to curb some of his wilder excesses or mitigate his apparent derangement, but sadly this is not so.
The best thing he can do is get out of politics altogether and stick to writing books, collecting stamps or something else unlikely to be harmful either to him or, more importantly, the people of Great Britain. I for one would be happy if I never heard of him again.
Personally I’d like to see him in front of a firing squad and not giving the orders either.
I’d only be happy if i saw him swinging from a gibbet, slowly rotting, with a crow pecking at his eye.
That seems reasonable.
this git is insane!
F’cking ugly, as well.
We’ve been saying that for years on here, but nobody would listen.
Epic Fail sad act Gordon!
He ran past the Guardian and BBC at full steam to get some glory and limelight and kicked the ball at the net only to find he had scored in his own goal the daft fucking bastard.
Aye an’ I’ll skedaddle back to Kirkcaldy the noo for a good sulk.
Plus ca change…
One thing I’m not to sure on. Why DO the Guardian want to abolish Sky?
They are the ones watching Boardwalk Empire
because they have all already either spent some of their extravagant champagne socialist wages on buying the box set or have illegally downloaded it.
What interests the public is not in the puiblic interest
I wish I’d quoted that.
No doubt you will, later.
You will, Johann, you will.
You will my boy, you will. (Apol. James Whistler)
O/T a bit , can anyone help.
last evening i caught a bit of a interview between David Winnock (Lab) the BBC and a tory Mp(on Hacking).
Can anyone tell me who the Tory Mp was (Female blond hair), She was really good.
Soarby?
Why not, BROWN LIES ?
The Sun are pulling their punches here.
How about, “INCOMPETENT LYING IMBECILE LIAR BROWN THE RETARDED LIAR LIES AGAIN, THE F’CKING LYING BASTARD RETARD LIAR”
+7,08578377276
I am confused as to who is the Prime Minister,and I am not a thick Paddy.
Is it David Camerom or Ed Miliband ?
The clue is the one not calling for pointless votes or asking the government to do something illegal.
Neither, it’s me.
Herman, my boy, you’re getting ideas above your station. If you’re not careful, you’ll have to go across my knee again.
You’re confused alright. Try Facebook for meaningless confused twaddle.
According to the BBC it is Ed Millipede.
I wonder if Gordon is still CRWYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
Liar Brown at it again. The Sun today state “The Sun ran the story after speaking to Mr Brown and wife Sarah. She gave us their consent to run it.
We agreed not to publish until they were ready to go public.
They also asked that the story be allowed to run in other newspapers. We agreed. In the following months the Browns showed no sign of any discontent with The Sun.
They attended a number of functions with The Sun’s then editor Rebekah Brooks and the paper’s owner Rupert Murdoch.”
Brown is deranged and needs to be sectioned. As usual the BBC and the Guardian rush in and repeat the lies to ‘brainwash’ the IQ2 section of society.
The labour party and the BBC should be prescribed and banned as they are more dangerous than even the most extreme terrorist organisations.
I presume you mean “proscribed”. Prescribing is what doctors do.
This simply beggars belief. Tax avoidance – me?
Gordon Brown is the Diana Ross of British politics
Don’t insult Diana Ross.
“Touch Me in the Morning”
” Surrender”
“Sorry Doesn’t Always Make It Right”
Dianna Ross = D.ross = Gordon Brown.
“I’m coming out”
Read all about it tomorrow in Hari’s – sorry, Hickey’s -column in tomorrow’s Express.
Jonah is wrong again. About as surprising as finding that bears still deposit smelly stuff in the woods.
what a plonker
I used to be paranoid, but they are still after me.
Guido
You are so cruel!
Just when he was getting the coruage to turn up for work for the first time in a year, he dipped his toe in the water and now the truth is out , he wont attempt to go out in public , let alone turn up to work.
Looks like the Docs will have to start again with his trement.
I thought he was interviewed in Scotland
You’ll know all about treatment Billy.
Just lock the twat away in one of those care homes that mistreat disabled people. He was the cause, he can take the punishment.
Have you been on the sauce again Billy, lots of spelling errors, oh, what the hell, pour me one, there’s a dear.
I will exterminate you!
Exterminate!! EXTERMINATE!!!!
The thing is, this was 5 years ago.
Why is the delicate f’ucker still welling up and going all soft voiced about it? It didn’t do any harm to the lad, after all.
Perhaps the greedy Marxist fucker thinks he can get a nice big out-of-court settlement. A nice big wodge of cash, thanks to his son’s disability.
Because he’s a cynical, embittered failure who (not for the first time) allowed his desire for vengance to overcome his capacity for logical reasoning. In so doing, he has probably started the undermining of Ed Miliband’s political capital in this matter.
Looked and sounded every inch the kicked dog, sickening, and completely feigned.
If Gordon had not called that old moo a biggot; then I would have been famous and appeared on ‘Have I got news for you!”

What a bumbling oaf Gordon Brown really is – if he fell in a barrel of nipples he’d come up sucking his thumb.
He couldn’t get his hole in a barrel full of c unts
I don’t get it? His bum hole or his snake?
That opening line is suspiciously like my comment from yesterday Guido (see Comment of the Day). Touch of the Johan Hari’s there. You should have credited ‘weird guy posting as Ed Balls’. Happy to help.
Gordon’s still bitter over Sky keeping the microphone on:
I’m bloody sure this was the tipping point. He would probably come to terms eventually with NI switching political allegiance but he knew as soon as Sky broadcast that off camera recording his political career was over. Revenge was his only solace.
Yer Jawwwwwwwwwwwwwwkin!
What an unvbelievable twat!
This Joker was our PM for god’s sake!
This clown is very similar to another national socialist ex-chancellor who lived in Germany in the 1930′s and 40′s – what was one of his henchmen’s catch phrase? Oh yes! tell a lie often enough………….
Trouble is Gordon we are well and truly on to you and your lies are no longer believed – in fact we believe nothing that you and your Marxist chums spout.
And that goes for the BBC and the Guardian – let alone that demented cow Polly T
Cows are gentle creatures- please don’t insult them by comparing them with that useless waste of oxygen, Toynbee.
If you take a wee browse through Mark Wadsworth’s blog you will realise that cows are in fact very dangerous.
Cows fart more sense than Toynbee spouts or writes
Pure Brown, using his family to launch a political attack. Nobody from his side checked the facts and within hours his story unravels.
Some say the Curse of Jonah is a mystical force of bad luck. I say it’s down to his delusional incompetence.
His incompetance is not delusional, it is very real.
unfortunately most of the media is ignoring this little episode.
you would think that the mail and the telegraph would be piling into labour on this in equal viciousness to piling onto NI but they are following the GuardianBBC line because it is also enjoyable for them to kick Cameron.
i would almost like him to step down after calling an election letting labour ballsonomics turning Britain into Greece MkII and then watch the Mail and Telegraph whine and bitch then….
Pointless really because all Balls and his cohorts would say is that it was all the previous Governments fault after all they had a year to sort it all out.
Too true!!
bullyballs was still blaming Mrs T for everything that was going wrong as the labour govt came to the end of its disastrous 13 year rule.
labour were never able to own up to their own faults and they still aren’t.
Little chance of the Daily Mail piling into Dropjaw Broon over his lies. Editor Paul Dacre seems to be one of Broon’s few mates. When he’s in the editor’s chair you’ll not see any derogatory stories about Dropjaw.
Perhaps the relationship between Brown and Dacre could be investigated in Wavey Davy’s judicial inquiry?
Not at 10:30pm?
Did he ever, too busy chasing whores.
He enjoys a bit of brown love too, the divine type.
Chasing? I’ve heard thats not the right way about it, you’re suppose to pay them, and ask them nicely if they’ll agree to rough treatment. Its news to me though.
I have made the acquaintance of several ladies of the oldest profession and, with the exception of the obviously disturbed drug addicted type, found them to be reasonably nice people. I would certainly prefer their company to almost all politicians – particularly the obviously disturbed power addicted type.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-419510/Gordon-Browns-son-cystic-fibrosis.html
The offending article also in the Mail from November 2006.
I believe Brown used his son to make people like him and he is now using him again for a sympathy vote. The timing of the information on Fraser just before Brown was to take over as PM and yes I am convinced this disgusting ploy by Brown was to USE his own son as leverage to take his revenge against Murdoch for his betrayal.
Labour just need to ditch Millitwit and elect a patriotic flag waving Labour leader who pledges to give us an In-Out EUSSR referendum and it will be a Labour landslide at the next election.
Bye bye Tories
But thith will thcupper my planth to become EU prethident and live in a palath.
eh?
Gordon ‘McBride ” Brown – rank hypocrisy once again from a leftie. Claiming the moral high ground when in reality he has been swimming in the sewers all along. Didn’t seem to worry about innocent people being harmed by filthy smears when it suited his purpose. I hope The Sun runs a really strong campaign against Jonah and his stooges (have a look at Watson’s expenses again) and shows them up for the lowlife they really are.
Will the taxpayer be compensating the test for the expenditure of his valuable brooding time to stage this Turkey?
Test = Twat
Hopefully the Sun will feel emboldened from this to carry on in its brave mission of exposing small children with Cystic Fibrosis.
You are David R and I claim my GBP5.00
Awwwww bless, Gordon has really fucked up your wankfest hasn’t he………the dopey twat?
Yes, no point denying it; he has kind of screwed things up quite badly.
Oh well, I’m off the Jobcentre to see if there’s a cleaning job available – if Labour’s immigrunts haven’t taken them all.
It’s been fun, folks. All the best.
Its irrelevant how the Sun obtained the story, the totally disgusting aspect is that they ran the story at all. What possible public interest could there be in this story, and the gloating and boasting of the Sun and Guido around a child’s disability is pretty low.
Oh do fuck off you sanctimonious prick
Nicely worked argument there.
You’re fucking deluded if you think that’s an argument.
Perhaps you might consider reading the Sun’s article before ranting? It was a very sympathetic piece and most certainly not an attack on Brown.Still,never let the truth get in the way of a good story eh?
Are you a journo?
And what exactly is WRONG with exposing small children with cystic fibrosis. Is it that YOU think they should be chained away under the bed?
He exposed his own kid anyway – for the sympathy vote.
You have to see it in the context of NI’s crusade against paediatricians.
Gordon deserves a medal for jumping in with both feet.
He’s muddied the waters and allowed scope for a fuller investigation into media-political relationships, which is what Cameron seems to be heading towards, rather than simply a NI witch-hunt (however justifiable). Miliband will be agreeable as he has little in the way of schmoozing baggage, but his six-o-clock is wide open as long as Baldwin is his tail-gunner. Chocks away!
Good at destroying things, Brown. Destroyed the economy, destroyed the fabric of the country. Destroyed pensions. Destroyed Blair, destroyed New Labour, both winners. Good at kicking himself in the balls.
Perhaps they should call him the Brown Bomber?
But he has no navigational guidance system, his engines are ropy, and he desperately needs a service or better a total makeover – perhaps he should become born again?
Born again? FFS – is not one tenure of this incompetants oafs life on Earth enough?
I did wonder (and mentioned something similar yesterday!) whether it would be someone who spotted Brown in the waiting room for the specialist doctor.
Reading an ancient hello magazine perhaps. I’ve got one you know. The worst ever edition to be honest.
Horse face Beckett has no answers on the Daily Politics Show. Her silence is deafening.
Andrew Neil hit the nail on the head. Little Ed has only spouted since Murdoch’s kicking. Poor little Ed will be made to suffer.
While I am no great admirer of Becket in the past or her ugliness, I have to conceed that she has gone against the flow of other Labour ministers in that she has GAINED in wisdom and become a better politician over the last 3 years.
McBruin strikes again! Oh this is so delicious.
I have been blogging since Monday afternoon that Brown is a delusional hypocrite whose stories would not stack up. As a consequence I have been subject to abuse as a heartless, immoral, unempathetic twat.
It is so nice to be vindicated – an emotion Brown will rarely have experienced, if at all!
Gordon – you truly are a moron.
Welcome back gordon. We’ve missed your little catastrophes that used to lighten our days and make us smile when life got tough fighting your pension raids and struggling with all your hidden taxes.
If I might suggest – militwit, twatson and yourself should watch your backs from now on – I think mr murdoch is rather like you and will hold his grudges for a very long time.
It’s as though Eddie the Eagle was making a comeback. Pure comedy gold.
Will Gordon turn up for the sixth form debate this afternoon?
No thought not.
”This house agrees we don’t like Murdoch”
Even Gordon sees it as pointless posturing by Militwat
” we’re going to put up a holding post now and more later”
Back to the construction industry eh Guido ?
Me: Whiter than white, purer than pure. Him: Brown
Did they pay this source? because if they did, the real motive money rather than ‘highlighting the cause of cystic fibrosis’
Secondly, what is the public interest in running the story?
I would like to hear clarification from the Brown’s on whether they really consented to this story or whether they had no choice in it coming out.
No disrespect but I fail to see how anything the brown’s say now could be believed.
2 out of 3 of the statements he made yesterday have now been proved to be lies.
So what value could be put upon any clarification from him or his unlovely be?
He was the second most high profile politician in the country at the time, of course it was going to be made public, and as previously pointed out by Mr Fawkes, the opportunity for a sympathethic ” oh the poor Brown’s” story was too good to pass up especially when it coincided with the damning report by the Charity commission on the Smith Institute.
Gordon Brown us using is childs illness to get revenge on Murdoch. What an upstanding individual he is!
Obviously sufficient interest for it to appear on the Beeb’s website the day before the Sun published,complete with quotes from Brown’s spokesman. How could that be if Gordon did not know about it?
What ‘money’is there in exposing Cystic Fibrosis? Do tell? What major scoop in going public? Hardly a scandal is it? If GB were that upset he would not have colluded in the news management and would have taken action against the papers concerned. Hard to do of course when you were feeding them copy yourself.
Clarification? From the Browns? I think I’ve wet myself laughing!!! Where the fu@k have you been the last few years?
What a fuckin twat……………………..
Am I still prime chancellor man?
No you are a fuckwit, promoted well above your abilities who screwed this country and turned Scotland into a 3rd world country; a fit and proper place for you to hide in. Now can we have our money back, that you are defrauding us of by masquerading as an MP.
A council has suspended payments to a disgraced Tory peer who was jailed for fiddling his expenses.
Lord Hanningfield, the former leader of Essex County Council, is currently serving a nine-month prison sentence after being convicted of falsely claiming £14,000.
His claims included payments for overnight stays in London when he was not in the capital – including one occasion when he was on board a flight to India.
Despite his conviction in May, he has until now continued claiming his £11,500-a-year council allowance.
Ordinarily the prison sentence would disqualify the 70-year-old, real name Paul White, from claiming his allowance. But because he is appealing against his conviction that disqualification had been put on hold
What is wrong with this? Local Government has been defrauding it’s constituents for decades. It is the greatest corrupt, unreformed Institution in this country today. That Hanningfield expected to get away with this is entirely to be expected. It is high time that this corrupt Institutuion is regulated.
Guido loses plot.
No-one cares how they got the story. The point is: they shouldn’t have run it.
That’s where the country’s at right now.
We are transcending politics at the moment. I appreciate this may be difficult to grasp for those whose bread and butter is politics, but the United Kingdom is currently, and no doubt for one day only, transcending politics.
Och, it’s terrible what they did to me! Terrible! My wee bairn’s ill and they ran a story about him! After I gave them the story! Och, I want an out-of-court settlement, och I do! It’s not about the money! Scotsmen care nothing about that. Och. *sob* *wail*
the United Kingdom is currently, and no doubt for one day only, transcending politics.
Nonsense. This whole episode is only of interest inside the Westminster/media bubble, where the personal agenda of every single participant is embarrassingly clear.
The public didn’t give a toss about the Sun running the Brown story in 2006 – I don’t recall an appalled clamour at the time calling for NI heads to roll, do you? The idea that public indignation has been dangerously roused all of a sudden is not borne out by reality – this story has been rolling on for weeks and I’ve still to come across anyone in my social or business life who has a strong opinion on it.
I think he meant traducing….
Who is this “he”?
Only in the sense that the opportunity was lost to blow the fuckers up in 1605.
Really? The political classes,including the media and MPs are undergoing a navel gazing exercise. None of them want to change their relationship with each other.
That would mean being subject to more scrutiny rather than being in a cosy club.
Understand that what you are watching is a pantomime,lacking interval refreshments for the watchers and much in the way of entertainment.
They warrant no more attention than Aladdin,Widow Twanky and the panto horse.
The only thing that is being transcended is my disbelief at your pious tone. Don’t bother. None of them could transcend politics for 30 seconds. If they did,they would possibly realise what they truly are.
What are your thoughts on the Guardian running the story the day before, as has now been firmly established? Should the Guardian, too, be subject to the same opprobrium?
SEEN ELSEWHERE
CNN’s Piers Morgan defends phone hacking to Richard Bacon…
“…my problem with all the phone hacking victims, they’ve all used the media over the years to feather their nests, buy their houses, flock to their movies, sell out their concerts, and now they’re squealing like little pigs over the media..”
I could warm to this cuпt, but some things are just truly beyond the pale, like necrophilia.
I never usually comment here Guido, but this is the funniest thing I’ve read in years. He’s even shit and being shit.
“I haven’t laughed as much since the neighbours cow died.”
Gordon Clown is a comic genius, and has been making us laugh (and cry…..pensions) on here for years.
It’s his face that does it – like a bulldog sucking piss off a nettle.
How low will Miliband stoop at PMQs? I hope for once Cameron takes him on strongly and mentions Brown’s cosy dinner and birthday parties with Brooks and Murdoch AFTER he supposedly cried at The Sun’s so-called intrusion.

We really should not be attacking Brown for all this. Or at least, not only Brown.
He has disgustingly exploited his own son’s condition and told repeated lies in order to attempt to gain a cynical political advantage.
So what’s new about that? He has done so many times before. It is standard operational procedure for Brown to be a lying sack of shit.
However the “impartial” BBC gave his lies top slot in the days news across their wide range of media (to much bigger exposure than anything the Murdoch press can rival) and broadcast his lies as if they were unquestionable truth.
The BBC have utterly failed to be even close to pretending to be impartial. The SUN should now also turn its guns full blast on the BBC too.
The difference between the BBC and the rest of the regressive left wing media being that I am not forced by law to pay for them. The BBC has an obligation in law to be impartial, but it is an entirely a self-policing organisation.
Something should be done about it.
There is no such thing as an impartial media – certainly not the BBC. They may as well be privatised and have to earn there own income instead of bleeding us dry to waste on overpaid presenters spouting Guardian drivel.
The only reason they are so ‘morally outraged’ about hacking is because no-one at the BBC has ever had to actually WRITE a story, let alone investigate anything.
1968: Rebekah Brooks was born
2006: Sun published story on Brown’s son
2008: Brown’s wife organises Brooks’s 40th birthday party
2011: Brown very carefully words his anger about News Int papers, not making clear accusation but rather putting dots up in the air that listeners should connect and then read “guilty”. His interview was definitely rehearsed with a sollicitor.
Full marks for Brrown getting his wife so commited to further his political career that she organised that 40th birthday party for such an enemy of the family …
Or was Brown very disingenuous this week and forgot, despite taking legal advice, to think the dates mentioned above through?
Brown has nothing on me.
Mcauleys main role to Brown is as his chief propogandist, her role as his wife is purely secondary.
Why did that Lib Dem tosspot include Brown’s bullshit allegation in his list of NI’s hackings? Wanker.
Because Lib Dems are …. wankers
Thith fox hunting ith werry exthiting! There’s Woopert the fox! After him! Wip him apart! Tally ho! Time to wepeal the ban!
Is Simon Hughes Billy Bowden?
Guido, you simply must get a screen capture of Miliband’s mongy open mouthed expression during Cameron’s answer.
It was hillarious! When Cameron was answering those charges, the colour drained from Miliband’s face.
I thought that there was no way that Cameron could get out of this one, but fair’s fair, he still made Miliband look like a petty, point-scoring hypocrite.
This will not thwart our wilfully ignorant, demented groupthink on this matter.
If the Guardian says NI blagged Fraser Brown’s medical data, then that is a FACT.
Just like the FACT that Thatch ruined Britain, which was a beautiful socialist utopia before she stole the milk and closed down all the profitable coal mines.
Any argument to the contrary will be shouted down with accusations of facism, racism, homophobia and Daily Mail readership.
True. But the BBC’s groupthink is a hell of lot more influential than that miserable excuse for bog-roll.
But we are one and the same.
The Guardian is quality journalism
The license fee is wonderful value
War is peace
Slavery is freedom
Ignorance is ….
Everywhere.
The accusation of being a “Daily Mail” reader is of course the definitive winning argument for every debate. It is the Oxford Union equivalent of shouting “Keys” and there is absolutely no come back to it. Game over looooooooserrrr.
Personally I cant for the life of me see where the Mail gets this reputation of being a right wingers paper from , it supported Brown to the hilt and is full of celebrity shite .
It gets it’s reputation from BBC loving, Guardian reading fuckwit ‘repeaters’ who may have never actually insulted their own eyes by actually reading a copy of the paper, but instead rely on each other to reinforce their own petty, lie-filled prejudices about that paper and its readership.
In other words they do not let the truth get in the way of a good prejudicial and bigoted hate-fest.
Bloody hell this daft prick never ceases to amaze me! If he fell into a pool of pussy he would still come out smelling of cock!
I said something similar At 151
You are Johan Hari and I claim my £5
Mine was more witty – take it as a homage to your quote if you like.
oh wait actually i never read your comment, but after having read it i have to say it’s rather unwitty. I actually gained inspiration from comment 3 and 34, which were more witty and written before your poor excuse for a comment. Good day!
Uhhh…doesn’t 151 come _after_ 144?
From the jaws of victory he gains a spectacular defeat. DOH!
There was something odd about this from the outset, not least that it seemed that Brown and is henchmen seemed to have difficulty in getting their stories straight. Look at this from Monday’s newsnight

Described as ‘The most Serious’ allegations, those relating to his son seem to evaporate during Crick’s set piece planted update from a Brown adviser. A really flakey and unconvincing performance from him and equally how unconvincing is Watson? Just take a look at the body language of both of them. Watching it again I wonder whether Watson is the source of Crick’s ‘expose’.
Without a sense of irony or shame, these people continue to plant their stories and seek to make political capital. Do they not understand that it is just this sort of thing that is the substantive issue here (not as Milliband would have it, Cameron’s relationship with Coulson)?…or is it simply that they’re addicted and just cannot help themselves.
Crick, Watson, McBride, Brown. Ugh – makes me shudder.
You are correct. Whether a former advisor who resigned for the the wrong doing of others, TWICE, is more serious than labour being led by corrupt war-criminals who used all the info from these criminal hackers to pursue their own dirty tricks campaigns over the years whilst sucking Murdoch’s cock, is the real question.
I really look forward to the inquiries nailing the labour party “good and proper”
Liebore party are shitting it,the truth about bliar,gordon the moron,milltwat,and the way they acted will come out.lets hope the beeb gets covered in it too.
The way the BBC snuggled up to the liebore party for 13 years will i hope be the downfall of the licence fee.
Why should the BBC get away with it,will the tories act i dont think so
Not at all desperate.
Rule of holes ring any bells?
“I will destroy you”
Are you saying a politician who keeps his promises is a bad thing?
What has Balls got to hide? Why is he laying low ? I know that his boy wife is spouting her mouth off .but he is even more dangerous than that opportunist creep Miliband
“I will destroy you”
less than 24 hours for the story to unravel. Gordon seems to have forgotten to throw the hand grenade before blowing his own hand off………….
instead of destroying Murdoch, he seems to have given him just enough breathing space in order to regroup
I almost felt sorry for the guy for about about 3 seconds before I was reminded what a lying c8nt, the daft pr*ck is
I’m amazed the one-eyed Scottish idiot can remember where the Commons is since he spend so little time there! Still he can spot a passing bandwagon with one eye every time!
The same Brown who employed creatures such as Draper and McBride to smear his political opponents,everytime I think I’ve heard it all……….
Gentlemen, gentlemen….
Mr Brown has, in fact, won. Game, set and match.
By repeating those carefully crafted phrases; “illegal activities” ; connections to “criminals”; “unlawful”; “illegal” etc&etc. He has thrown the Murdochs to the hyenas of the American system. They will be stripped of everything by their many enemies – all of whom Brown and allies have prepped well in advance.
He has destroyed Rupert.
God you are naive!
Gordons people feckin leaked the Spina Bifida story themselves, in an attempt to get an Ed Balls-Up/election expenses story off the front page.
The mans brain is going if he thinks he can win the sympathy vote with that!
