The Tears of a Clown

Gordon crashed his wife’s appearance at the Edinburgh Festival in order to bemoan those pesky journalists who pointed out the former Prime Mentalist’s rather damaging flaws and held him to account:

“In Britain, what the press do, if they really want to get at someone, is they challenge their motives and their integrity. They try to suggest that they’re not the person that they say they are. The way the press works in this country is they try to doubt the motives of people all the time. They try to suggest that you’ve got a malign purpose in what you’re doing. And they try to take pieces of people’s characters and destroy those pieces so they can make their political point as a result of that. You can’t say it is not hurtful.”

He hated them so much he invited them into his home, to family occasions and creeped around them for fifteen years on his way to the top.  

And of course he never used the press to destroy anyone in his way…

            Plastic socialists are the most venal of politicians.

            He is at heart a libertarian, free-market pushing, Tortskyite anarchist of the worst kind.

            He carried out his “duties” to the satisfaction of his bankrollers and bailed out the corrupt banks and ensured that their profits were privatised and the losses socialised.

            As with Blair before him and Cameron after him, they only serve the cosmopolitan, internationalist scum.

            ‘He is at heart a libertarian, free-market pushing, Tortskyite anarchist of the worst kind.’

            A libartarian? Do you actually understand what the word means? Brown is a control freak, an authoritarian, poisonous, freedom hating statist, a forty two day incarceration peddler, a surveillance society advocate, who surrendered this country to EU serfdom.

            As for free market where on earth do you get that from?
            Brown was a corporatist shill, a rigged market merchant, a private monopoly service provider and enabler.
            There is nothing free market about having no choice, or rigged price structures, which is what monopoly service providers give you in a rigged market.

            Jesus wept, ignorance is not a virtue, read a fucking book sometime soon.

          • Debt slave says:

            If he was an authoritarian socialist statist then why didn’t he nationalise the entire banking industry when he had the chance?

            If he is not a statist then he must be a libertarian.

            Entry to the EU allowed virtually unlimited immigration. More immigrants = more consumers, which is good for business (even if they’re on benefits, they still spend the money at Tescos/Sainsburys etc)

            I accept your claim that he was a corporatist shill.

          G Brown lover of Prudence says:

          Of course Mr Fawkes you are correct I am a hypocrite. I brought that God awful bully Balls into my kitchen Cabinet. I unleashed McBride onto those Labour MPs who did not follow my lead. Together with my cabal of Whelan, Maguire and Watson we did our best to undermine the then PM Bliar and as the picture shows Piers Morgan had a direct line to my office so we could send him instructions on whom to destroy in his Mirror.

          • David Laws Lib Dem fiddler says:

            Why could not Gordon speak to Alistair I’ll make it up lying press officer Campbell? Blair used all the press spin he could and lied in between.

            Cable must get an ear bashing from Brown each day what to say in Government on Brown’s behalf. Clegg yesterday wanted tot ell us how cutting benefits would not help. The man is a complete idiot.

            He is the one, with Cable, who also wants to promote social mobility, like Brown, to help students into university who do not have the grades in preference for those who do. Citizens get more in welfare benefits than working, I wonder why they have a I want something for nothing attitude?? Perhaps the mindset could be changed by making them work and if it is less than their benefit pay the difference. It would save the taxpayer huge amounts in welfare and change the mindset of the welfare lifers.

          There are all sorts of theories about it – ‘projection’, ‘transference’, ‘delusion’, ‘looking at your father’s penis in a funny way’. They all boil down to him being a loony-tune. I prescribe basket weaving.

          • Someone at the GMC says:

            Brown displayed classic antisocial personality disorder symptoms. I would even go as far to say that some of his actions suggest that he may be psychopathic (axis II cluster B).

            He displayed an inability to form human attachments and an abnormal lack of empathy. Psychopaths are also masters at manipulating others for their own ends. This was masked by his ability to appear outwardly normal most of the time. Many of our political and corporate leaders have this personality disorder, as their lack of empathy and their manipulation ability tends to allow them to climb up management hierarchies.

            Around 1% of the population are psychopaths and 10% have personality dissorders.

            The researcher Dr Robert Hare has publisehed much material on this subject and is worth looking into. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this condition.

            The man should be pitied not pilloried.

          • Brown Stuff says:

            The public is clearly deeply divided in their opionion of Brown. Many think he’s an arse, while many others think he’s a knob. History will make its own judgement.

          • Major d'Lemma says:

            Whilst I salute your compassion, Someone at the GMC, I cannot help thinking that you, and many like you, possibly, have the balance wrong.

            The plain fact is that these amoral, arrogant, wicked, self obsessed sickos cause huge amounts of misery to the human race.

            Brown, Blair and many others who push themselves through to power, corrupting most of what they encounter as they progress, have, as you rightly observe, a fantastical disproportionate love of self and a contempt for their ‘lessers’.

            The number of innocent people who have died because of the mendacity of Blair, and his support from Brown, surely should count for something? The number of people whose old age will now be blighted by Brown’s cynical, maniacal and ignorant handling of the economy and, particularly, destruction of ordinary people’s pensions, surely should count for something?

            Whilst I admire your erudition in identifying what the psychiatric literature agrees about the aberrant behaviour of this minority of nutters, surely simple arithmetic should play a part in determining how society deals with such destructive people?

            It seems to me that it would be hugely to the benefit of society, national and international, for the people not to tolerate these lunatics. In short, they should be culled. A few thousand lives could be targeted around the world, summary executions carried out and there would be a huge reduction in the number of unnecessary wars, economic collapses, genocides, famines, invasions, riots and general misery of ordinary people.

            Such executions need not be ongoing. The rest of the slightly less dangerous weirdos who do not reach the top but aspire, and therefore support the truly dangerous monsters, would be discouraged.

            You probably disagree and think, like many I speak with, that it is better for a few hundred thousand innocent brown skinned people to die a thousand+ miles away than to have an unpleasant summary execution on our doorstep.

            That being the case, I would be an immoral psycho (albeit arithmetically capable).

      Brown courted the Press like every other politician & business person does and needs to. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a point to make. However, as post above mentions Kirkcaldy & like to add that decades aid Labour rule & MPs have decimated this one proud town. The *real* shame for Brown is that he was so busy *saving the world* that his home town turned into a wasteland with drug barrons, rapidly vacating buildings & tumbleweed all that remains on it’s high street.

      How far we’ve come from Plato’s notion of the elite ruling not for their personal benefit but the whole community’s’, we are back to a pre-Platonic notion where the elite seek public office and power for no other reason than personal gain. It bodes very badly for Democracy with elites all over the world closing off wealth and power to the wider population.

        Cynical Old Man says:

        Andy, Edinburgh, I note from your previous posts that you are a fanatical apologist for everything Labour. You are another one of those hopeless cases who would support the likes of Gadaffi and Mugabe if they stood for Labour in a Jock constituency. It’s unreconstructed Fabians like you who have facilitated the social and economic destruction of Great Britain and turned it into the third world shithole it’s become.

        You are so blinded by your socialist ideology you are unable,or unwilling, to comprehend the damage you and your like have done to this nation. Then again, remorse is an unknown concept to the likes of you, unless it’s when Labour lose power, and then it’s just self pity.

        Just to answer your point, one of the main reasons for so many being unemployed is Labour policy. Pay EMA to keep ‘em in school until they are eighteen and then push them all into university to take mickey mouse degree courses. Just to keep them off the unemployment register. Plus Labour’s “education, education, education” has resulted in too many being barely literate and numerate thereby making them unemployable.

        Labour have also created an benefit dependant, criminally inclined underclass who don’t live by the same rules as the rest of society. Labour have indulged these people in the belief they could create a client electorate. Labour councils keep the areas where these lowlifes live in a state of deprivation and delapidation in order to ingrain a sense of hopelessness, depravity and resentment which then led to the behaviour we saw last weekend.

        It’s people like you with your ideology who are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

    René Descartes
    Discourse on the Method – 1637

    Premise 1: Cogito ergo sum. Presupposition of “I”. Major FAIL. The rest of the Premises thus fall away. No need to read further.

    • 42
      Sir William Waad says:

      Descartes point was that there were certain things that you could not doubt, such as the fact that you were thinking. Thus it was impossible rationally to doubt the existence of ‘I’ while continuing to think seriously. The mere act of doubting the existence of ‘I’ presupposes that there must be an ‘I’ to do the doubting.

      Descartes wasn’t seeking to prove the existence of the self but rather to show that the existence of self must be taken as an axiom before any existential thought can take place.

The disdain of his staff? The disdain of his superiors? The disdain of his fellow countrymen? The denial? The backstabbing? The frontstabbing? The willingness to destroy his competitors’ families to win a small political victory? The willingness to destroy an entire country to remain in power? Or the refusal to accept defeat graciously and go quietly into the night?

    Dear Mr Brown,
    I am writing in response to your recent visit to the Schadenfreude Institute.
    In response to the psychological issues that you raised I have now consulted the specialists.

    You supposed that people hate/reject you because:

    They are jealous of you,
    They are jealous of your achievements,
    They are jealous of your looks, and style.
    They might be afraid of you.
    You ignored them before unintentionally and they are paying you back.
    You hurt them without noticing and they were emotionally sensitive.

    Unfortunately, as you insist that these ARE the reasons, and not the much more obvious ones, there seems little point in further discourse. If you want to deal with your rejection and overcome it, then perhaps in the future you could contact me again.

    Yours sincerely

    The consequences of any one of the above would probably have persuaded any god fearing son of the manse with a shred of humility and decency to admit that he was not really cut out for high office and had made an appalling dogs breakfast of everything he touched yet he clung on to the very end deliberately making a bad situation even worse for whoever came in by waging a scorched earth policy of lunatic political spending commitments (aircraft carriers for scottish votes etc).
    I would like to think we all wish no man evil but with this obnoxious bastxxx I personally would make an exception.

      Mr Phil you are too kind

      McMental should be keel hauled through a vat of s hit and then slowly roasted over charcoal before being fed to starving rats all whilst Blair looks on wondering what I may have in mind for him
      Blow torch, castration, then burial alive in a coffin full of cockroaches as his face is constantly covered in shit and blood from a pump
      Call me old fashioned

    Seeing as he’s making a living as an MP doing sweet fa except taking the taxpayer’s shilling I think he deserves a scuba diving holiday in the Seychelles on us as well. It’s the least we can do.

    This f*ckwitted b*stard sneaks into the Edinburgh book festival clutching the skirts of his wife (whose book is featured incidentally- not that remainder volume of his that’s stacking the shelves at Snipcock & Tweed) and is “invited” by his wife up to take questions on his treatment by the Press.

    No wonder its been raining incessantly at the Book festival all week since he appeared- Jonah strikes again…….

    Its made me all the more determined to re-read Nigel Lawson’s autobiography and remind myself how a real Chancellor operated.

    Cyclops of Kirkaldy says:

    I’m on a full MPs salary and I don’t have to show in parliament. I can swan around the world and charge muppet hedge funds for the chance to hear how wonderful I am.

    Just don’t mention the RBS share price.

    Time the press started asking what is Gordon Brown doing at Westminster, he doesn’t take part in debates, he doesn’t vote, and doesn’t ask questions. Should he have his salary stopped?

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious

“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
