After Darling finally told the truth over the last week about the splits and vicious divides at the top of the Labour government, this headline has certainly triggered the irony klaxon:
Funny that Gordon has time to knock out copy for the Chinese, but won’t turn up to Parliament to represent his constituents…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
I was pretty sure the economy was going to double dip but now Gordon thinks it will I’m not so sure… reverse psychology anyone?
For Gordon to give financial advice to the international community is terrific news for the pound.
They have to raise more Tax so they can borrow more Money to pay for munitions to fight the WAR. Simple economics. Other wise no one will buy the Debt.
If Government TAKE MORE TAX. Less money in the economy. Clever economics to Kill off the recovery.
In the the land of the two eyed, the one eyed monster has no perspective and is a prick.
Ha, ha!
I fucked up all of your pensions though.
Mine’s GOLD plated btw.
Release Bernie Madoff.
He knows how to get us out of this one.
GB:”If I can just pull off this one more fiscal farcical miracle then they’ll love me again and know that I ZORBA saved the world!”
SarahB: “Gordy, are you playing with the carrots again?”
Buy Greek one year bonds—– they yield 72.5 %!!
—– fantastic!!!!!
Was he hiding behind his wife when he wrote this – he has form in using her as a human shield…
Dont be silly, he does not use his family as props, he said so!
The Decidedly Dishonourable Comrade Chairman James Gordon Josef Bean Molotov-Ribbentrop No More Boom And Bust Jings Crivvens Helpmaboab Nixon Radagast Brown of the Politburo, known to members of his Party as the former Glorious Leader and to the public as Gordzilla, Lord Protector of the Bonuses has a face like a smacked arse and is a hairy wanker with hairy balls and a flange.It is thought that where most people have one bullet with their name on , he has 12….million.Supposedly a British Member of Parliament serving you since 1983, and was the main resident of Number 10 Rillington Place until May the 11th 2010, when he was cast back into the gloomy chasm that initially spawned him…..
Wonder how much he got paid for it?
£5.95 and Nandos £40 of vouchers.
a season ticket to Communists Anonymous and a night out in one of those shanghai clubs where the ‘ladies’ are very accommodating to a saviour of the world…
lots of ladymen too – more Gordo’s line?
Four rolls of Andrex and a very helpful nurse.
Can someone keep an eye on book sales, Darlings v Browns and Browns v Browns.
Gordy’s book, WHEN it comes out. will probably bomb, how well did the last ones do?
“Beyond the crash” was only out a short time ago.
It crashed.
Buy high sell low
And GDP has risen by 0% this year under MY premiership!
Which crash are you referring to?
First two books to be offered at Waterstones at two-for one price BEFORE publication.

So it’ll be fucking draw……now STFU!
I have applied for the job of China’s Head of Gold Reserve Management.
Red Ed speaks for me in the House of Commons.
“well if Osborne had bought gold last summer at 1161 he would have made billions and billions” Willy Straw (i now what i mean)
Dear Mr UK,
This transaction cannot be processed until you have paid off your monthly balance
‘ere! leave my Gordon out orf it!
He dun is best,he did. More than you lot anyways.
Now sword off, the lot of youse! An leave us workin’ class types alone.
British economics, for Chinese workers.
An’ ah’ kno’ suns’bl’ ec’nomics whn’ ar’ sees one!
An’ nuthn’s ma’ fult ye un’stn!
I feel at home in a totalitarian state.
Why does Labour being out of power for a long time mean we needed strong government?
And he kept quiet through all of this until now, when it doesn’t matter?
And me and my children will be paying the bills for his cowardice?
… and we have to listen to all the PR crap, knowing full well what they really thought and happened will be sold to us at a later date in their fucking books!
I’ve got a nice little earner too!
Are you going to post that on every thread.
Twat.
Is that you Dave?
Talk to us Dave – please talk to us!
God, he’s advising the Chinese!!!! – That’s the end of their economy then.
They have no heard of the Curse of Gordon!
I will have you know that I have a Phd in History, which makes me eminently qualified to advise the Chinese on economics. In any case, who do you think I sold our gold to?
Obvious really – Brown gets additional payment & publicity for the China Daily piece – conversely his Parliamentary emoluments are not remotely performance related, so he gets them irrespective of effort.
so he is reduced to begging the chinks for a job now?
Way things are going, we’ll all be begging the chinks for work soon. F@@k knows what wages they will offer.
Brown’s come down from getting article in his beloved Guardian to obscure foreign titles.
As for what it says, if yo devalue so does everyone else, so where does that get you? UK, USA, Euro all devalued, they all chased each other. Except now in an instant ALL UK’s imports are 30% more expensive thanks to Gordon setting another record, with the amount the UK Pound has been devalued.
Brown is the one who installed Labour lackey Mervyn King into the Bank of England to help destroy the UK economy, so Europe could take it over. Just look how many UK utilities are run by Europeans. The recent “Cross Rail” project for London gave the contract for trains not to British workers, but to Germany.
This is Labour’s legacy, the rape and pillage of the UK.
Unbelievable – Underpants Bryant has just postulated, on Brillos programme, that the Murdoch hackgate affair has “Done the greatest damage ever to society.”
Absolute cobblers – he was also brassnecked enough to quote the Old Testament in defence of his argument.
Whilst talking to other normal inhabitants of this country I find my views are very average and “I have no interest in the Murdoch affair”, I find Underpants and all the rest of the precious whining shits who are out of touch with the reality of real life the ones that need dealing with and removing.
He’s not wrong if the press have the government in their back pocket.
You mean that politicians have been individually and collectively so corrupt and/or incompetent that they have allowed the press to blackmail them?
Strong, honest government has nothing to fear from the press, even a corrupt press.
Therein lies the problem.
The press are not the only ones who have the government of this country in their back pockets. Trouble is, too many are too tribal to see it.
These people live in such a parallell political world to the rest of us that he may well honestly believe it.
I doubt if very many of his constituents in the Rhondda were at all surprised that the News of the Screws often had their scoops through dodgy dealings and found the faux outrage of Cap’n Underpants decidedly underwhelming.
…He must have heard that on the bbc, because I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it !
That mincing whingebot has a personal vendetta against the delightful Mrs Brooks. He complained on another TV show that she had asked him when he was leaving a function to go off cruising for boys on Clapham Common. “This”, he told the interviewer, “is the type of woman she is.”
No one has more spite than an hysterical queenie without a comeback line.
I couldnt agree more, i really dont care if some (usually ) publicity seeking showbiz types were hacked. Also, why is Wikileaks good and hacking bad ?
I wonder if he is selling state secrets? As a treasonous, useless enemy of the british people it surely should be of grave concern that he is addressing his time to kow-towing to a socialist state.
I hope the security services are watching. Perhaps it was about time he was found dead in a forest, you know, ‘suicide’
You have to question why such an obviously unsuited man was allowed anywhere near number 10.
But then, I suppose a compliant PM is more use than an independent one.
Fucking commie bastard.
Was his mentor a communist?
that went well
Let’s face it…..Brown is unlikely to want re-visit the scenes of his incompetence/failure is he unless he’s forced to.. it’s better to stay away and imagine in his deluded pysche the cheering multitudes and the reverential respect of his peers……………………………..
I was never a ‘Colossus’. More like a colostomy bag.
Would agree with that – Full of shit.
Right he said he would fight for fairness and his constituants then he said he would do charity work then he went globe trotting to get a twell paid tax exempt job and now he is trying to be a opinoin writer.
Moral compass my arse!
Next week we have the following articles:
”How to run a successful bank” by Sir Fred Goodwin
”Wealth creation” by Bernie Madoff
I think Madoff certainly has a very apt surname.
‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ – Cherie Blair
‘A Guide to Social Skills and Etiquette’ – John Prescott
‘Brevity in Public Speaking’ – Neil Kinnock
‘Financial Probity’ – Lord Mandelson
“Social Mobility and how to prevent it” by comrade Toynbee.
Lessons from Glass-Steagall
It was only a couple of months ago Labour told everyone Gordon was best man to run the IMF. Not only do Labour put party interests above the country, they value their own tribal interests above the well being of the rest of the planet too.
The socialists see every pot of money as a potential looting opportunity. From local government, charity, Quango, national government to world banks. All just pots of other peoples cash to squander on their pet projects and bugger the consequences.
Good Lord. I hope that the ChinaDaily didn’t pay him good money for that piece of economic twaddle!!
this evening i will be packing pennies in my foreskin
Never thought I’d say this but for once David Lammy’s talking sense. Discussing the riots on Brillo, he said the people of Tottenham didn’t fear police, they feared the rioters rampaging through their area. That won’t make him popular with his comrades. And after his recent comment about the impact on bl*ck kids of absent fathers, he seems to be going way off message. I bet Dyanne Fatblob won’t be happy.
How is it possible to fear the police – they didn’t even turn up?
And anyway – I’m not sure the complaint against the police is that minorities fear them. More that they (the police) are unfairly targeting minorities, to the point of harrasment, or even racism?
Say what you like about Tony Blair , but at least he stepped down from parliament when he reigned as PM and then futher enriched himself.
Gordo would be off at the first sign of a decent job that he was qualified for. So we are stuck with him
That does not fill my heart with joy.
http://www.businessinsider.com/now-sarah-palin-is-speaking-with-larry-summers-and-gordon-brown-in-south-korea-2011-9
well he won’t have time for his constituents in October either because he’s off to south korea to lecture them all there about his spectacularly failed brand of economics.
Would have thought North Korea wouldbe better for the Scottish Bogey Muncher.
i am Mong the Merciless a fucking cream cracker cretin
Tom Watson seems to be choking. Good Ho
Publicising her book earlier this year, Sarah Macauley went on radio for an interview with Richard Bacon. Bacon asked her at least two or three times about the bullying allegations and stories of angry outbursts and abuse.
Each time she was asked, she avoided it by saying: “All I can say is the Gordon I know who’s passionate engaged with the issues…”. I lost count of the number of times she robotically said he’s “passionate engaged”. If you were a genuine spouse, you’d defend them emphatically and you’d mention their personal traits like warmth, humour, kindness, whatever. She did none of that. In a monotone she just kept repeating the grammatically nonsensical phrase “passionate engaged” like someone who’d rehearsed it to death.
I see that Gordon’s op/ed was provided by “Project Syndicate”
http://www.project-syndicate.org/about_us/who_we_are
I think that it was established by Soros – its commentators all seem pretty leftie to me.
No doubt Blanchflower, Richard Murphy, Wolf and Krugman pontificate about Economics of the Entitled
Somehow I can’t imagine Brown penning that himself. Much more likely to be one of Soros’s leftie econotwats.
McBust is not only alive, but appears to be pulling in the cash. A quick look on the Register of Members’ Financial Interests reveals earnings of around £716,000, all of which is allegedly ‘being held by the Office of Gordon & Sarah Brown for the employment of staff to support my ongoing involvement in public life’.
That’s a heck of a lot of staffing costs for someone who (thankfully) rarely appears in public life any more???
Below is the only entry for anything to do with China, so presumably he wasn’t paid for the article – or has yet to declare it:
Name of donor: Chinese People’s Institute for Foreign Affairs
Address of donor: 71 Nanchizi Street, Beijing 100006, China
Amount of donation (or estimate of the probable value): flight and accommodation in Beijing
paid, £11,202
Destination of visit: Beijing, China
Date of visit: 11-14 June 2011
Purpose of visit: to attend International Conference on Global Economy organized by
Chinese People’s Institute for Foreign Affairs.

FFS Guido, sort out the modding!!
His blog, his rules!
The £700k has probably gone on psychiatric treatment and some very strong stomached nurses
Thank fuck hacking is on the agenda again
Could we somehow combine Strictly, with phone hacking? That would be a great show..I’ll give Ali c a ring about hosting.
Thing is, Guido, I expect Gordon gets an unpaid intern to do his writing. But an unpaid intern can’t be sent to represent Gordon in the HOC… meaning that Gordon is free to do what he does best. Brood darkly about how everyone was against him and how none of it was his fault.
More good news! Correspondent on Brillo’s show said one of the charges against Moran is forgery and if found guilty would face YEARS in prison. Where’s the champagne?
She’ll get 18 months. Be out in 6.
Having thoroughly reviewed the evidence gathered by the police, we have decided there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to bring criminal charges against Margaret Moran,” Starmer said in a statement. “These charges relate to fraudulent claims with a total value of more than 60,000 pounds.”
Moran will be charged with 15 counts of false accounting and six of forging invoices to support her claims. The maximum sentence for false accounting is seven years in prison. Forgery carries a maximum 10 year sentence.

Off topic, but what the hell…..
Fantastic!
Jeff Randal says “Would you agree, if you don’t have proper democracy you can end up with a dysfunctional weirdo in charge.”
Should be quote of the decade.

Chinese delegation.
“Who is that speaking?”

Beat the mod version.

Not to mention becoming god-parents to powerful peoples brats.

“Gordon’s Alive!”
That really needs to be spoken by Brian Blessed…
A few comments
“the world is drifting, rudderless and leaderless, towards a second downturn”
Not True – World Leaders are doing what little they can to get out of the unholy mess GordoBalls has left us in
“a turning point around 2010. For the first time in 150 years, the West (America and the European Union) was out-manufactured, out-produced, out-exported, out-traded, and out-invested by the rest of the world”.
Who took us there Gordon? New Labour welcomed China acting as a giant department store credit card, lending us cheap money to buy their goods, Everyone felt like Tony and Gordon were doing such a good job and voted Labour not knowing they were being sold into debt slavery
“The G-20′s time has come again. The sooner French President Nicolas Sarkozy calls the G-20 together to act, the better”
Politicians got us into this mess in the first place and now Gordon wants us to hand over even sovereign power to a G20 super state so they can make it all better. LISTEN UP GORDON – I AM SURE THE CHINESE LOVE YOUR IDEA, BUT YOU COCKED PRETTY BADLY THE FIRST TIME, SO YOU AND YOUR ACOLYTES ARE NOT GETTING A SECOND CHANCE
What proof do we have that he’s alive? That movement might just be post mortem grasping at the exepnses and he might have done the article through a ouija board.
‘plowed’ ??
“Plowed” = Yank-speak!
When asked about the continued absence from parliament of Gordon Brown my MP said that it was not his probelm and that the voters could vote him out at the next election ie in possibly 5 years time – so that’s okay then. A culture of self-serving and corruption is acceptable to my MP.
He pay me five dorras to love you lots. 500 dorras I be your blide.
Gordo’s message: National Keynesianism, in the form of various doses of quantitative easing, failed so let’s try it globally!
AARRRGH! Don’t all rush for the door.
shit.
so, not content with plodding around africa and telling starving nations that they all need to borrow/tax/spend/print as much as they possibly can, he’s now giving the same advice to the chinese?
fuck me, he’s like the terminator; he absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are all dead.
A morality tale with a happy ending.
Brown and Blair on a third world joint lecture tour were riding in a bus when guerrillas sprang out of the nearby jungle and took the two hostage.
After several weeks and no response to ransom requests, the guerrillas decided they had to kill the hostages but would grant one last request each. They went to Brown and asked for his last request. He said, “I’d like to give you all a lecture about endogenous growth theory.” Then they went to Blair and asked for his last request. He said, “Shoot me first.”
There is a link between brown and shit and it isn’t coincidence…
is it called a cl*set shirt Lift*r ?
