This week’s Speccie has a gem of a Jonah tale:
“In his last months as prime minister, Gordon Brown sat down and wrote a fan letter to a young British singer-songwriter. ‘With the troubles that the country’s in financially,’ he told her, ‘you are a light at the end of the tunnel.’ Last weekend that light officially went out: Adele has suffered a career-threatening vocal cord injury and will not sing again this year.”
Another fine mess!

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.
Three cheers for gordon brown.
Hip, hip, hoo..an be arsed?
Foxy……or could it be Werritty?
An ex PM from Kirkaldy
Whose grip on reality was shoddy
Claimed his name was not Brown
That he lived in toytown
And henceforth had to be called Noddy
LOL. The useless spacker.
All Socialists are a curse not just Jonah Brown!
It’s his lard arsed slattern of a wife that cranks my blood pressure. She pops up all over the place dispensing shite. Why do people invite her anywhere? beats me.can’t think of anything worse.
Why do I think this comment was submitted by an overweight male, not over fond of washing and who doesn’t seem to have many friends?
Ebola virus ?
That guy that pretends to be Jeremy Clarkson.
Don’t be silly Bluebird – his carer gives him a bedbath every week.
There once was a man called Brown
Who had an enormous frown
No-one voted for him,
But was once pinched on his chin
He was a colossal t*wat and should just f**k off.
And there was me thinking that Philip Larkin was dead.
Startling
Gosh…
The tape recorder up the nose
(avoiding official paper memos)
detailed much of Blair’s cash.
Then tapes up his bum he would stash
thinking ‘safe ’til kingdom come’,
forgetting Mr Foldlebum.
I was only really good at being a Number Two
Someone say No2?
Hiya Mark, they call all us Lib Dems on this blogsite, a bunch of perverts. Scadalous isn’t it?
Shite Handy.
Whatever happened to the Artic Rolls?
They joined up with Monkees.
To form the Monkey Arctics
They melted. Global Warming, you see.
Disbanded
Did he send a letter to Amy Whinehouse just before she took to drink and died ?
I heard he sent a get well soon card to Sir Jimmy Savile recently……..
Yes, he did, and to Hugo Chavez.
perhaps she should just start cursing people … the country would be back on its feet in mere weeks!
Could Brown please wish good luck to Man City tonight
Bill Cash upsets current chancellor George Osborne, and all the other Euro fanatics.
Who is the guy sitting behind Osbourne without a poppy on?
Nice to see some opposition for once. Pity it’s the conservatives. Labour just turning up and grabbing the wages (if they even bother to turn up).
When will he face justice for his fiscal criminal lunacy?
Never. And he’ll keep taking taxpayer’s cash, too. Forever. Now shut up and pay your VAT.
When Britain goes bust, and civil service salaries are no longer being paid, his wages will stop, his protection officers will depart, and the looting impoverished and hungry hordes will be kicking in the door of his house, as he cowers alone.
And then the fun will begin.
This is like an old Charlton Heston movie !.
Can I be the one to pull him out of the drain and use the sharpened stick please?
And for gerrymandering with the two aircraft carriers, cost more to get out of the contracts than it is to build them.
I don’t think Dave tried. I think that might have been the first of many backhanders he’s received to let big companies get away with murder. Otherwise, he’d have penned:
“Dear BAE and Thales,
Forget the contract for the carriers and forget the penalty clauses, or you’ll never be allowed to tender for a British defence contract ever again, you’ll be barred from exporting military equipment and you’ll get a 100% windfall tax every year from now until forever. And I’ll backdate that tax to 1901. Regards, Dave.”
Lady Porter paid a heavy price for gerrymandering – and that was on a much smaller scale than the one eyed pathological liar did.
PS:
Remember Westland? No, neither do we.
Who did they fail to bung?
Perish the thought that the two carriers are actually needed by the military. Think much about defence do you?
Better to build them upside down !! DOH
Gordon was a big fan of Glen Miller.
Well GM’s plane did break up over the channel.
I am a big fan of Glenfiddich
Good job Glen snuffed it !
Loaned me his plane, just like he did with Glenn, and later with Otis Redding and Jim Croce.
Should have travelled the same way as Cameron – man powered hot air balloon.
That plane was total pants:
http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/d/John%20Denver/john_denver.htm
Shoulda left on a jet plane.
He lent me his fucking skis.
& what’s the name of that Scotch place ?
You mean the same Adele who said this
“I went to state school, I’m mortified to have to pay 50%. Trains are always late, most state schools are shit and I’ve gotta give you, like, four million quid? Are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from [her album] 19 I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly ”
Interview in Q magazine
Not exactly a ringing endorsment of Browns Politics
Have you ever heard a ringing endorsement of Brown’s politics?
The bells! The bells!
“…the moaning and the groaning of the Bells!”
Didn”t you mean “The Balls! The Balls!”?
Believe me please,this country REALLY is SHIT,i have lived in a lot of
Euro lands over the years & Good ‘ol england (small e) is SHIT !!.
Go for a weekend to ANY EU country & you will notice IMMEDIATELY
how much better things are managed,(nothing to do with the shit Euro)
Er…who is Adele? and why is she important?
Importance? depends on your age group as much as anything else. IMHO 21 is far, far better than 19.
Like totally!
His pet aircraft carrier caught fire!
http://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/roundup/articles/2011/11/01/419144-fire-incident-aboard-carrier-at-rosyth/
And the coastline in his constituency is contaminated by WW2 era radium (which Brown did bugger-all about in office and now has the gall to complain about)

Jonah!
I enjoyed Amy Winehouse’s music and I wished her a full and speedy recovery from her alcohol problems.
i also believe that the Greek fiscal & internal problems will soon
be resolved.
Strange that, Brown is ahhhh, just fell of the chair, ahhh, my computer crashed…….
Who’s this Adele? Is she flatlining or sharplining? So what!
Does she have any grandaughters?
This is getting quite scary!
What is Billy?
Silly Billy Cash.
It’ a kind of water carrying vessel As opposed to this one !
Not as scary as the amount of airplay that Joss Stone is getting these days.
Who’s this Gordon Brown guy , what does he do?, is he an MP, never heard of him.
‘Thought’ – Gordon Brown is a scotch no mark who has a psychological illness and a pathological personality. He has allusions of grandeur and believes he saved the world.
In other words, he is a complete and utter tosser.
I shall probably be modded for telling the truth!
Looks like, on the subject of Mr Brown, you will not be modded !!
The truth is always welcome. On which subject when are we to hear more about Cameron’s Swiss account?
The twists & turns of these cunning stunts is fucking amazing,
Swisscam/ Davechoc/ Toblerone Dave/Choccam et al.
I think strange glue would be more appropriate in honour of the marriage of Piggy Pickles and the Conservative Party.
I saved the world.
I paved the world
No– I did. Don’t wish me any luck, Gord.
Saw you in Nurnberg in the 80′s (shit)
I cursed the world
As I understand it you’ve been a member of three political groups, the SDP the FCS and the PDs none of which exist any longer. The “Jonah” meme is a bit rich in the circs.
Can’t this abomination go and back Archbiship Rowan?
People call me gay because I like to wear skinny jeans and berets, but that’s absolute bollocks.
I’m gay because I fuck men.
If yer gonna nick someone’s moniker at least get it right.
But is he right Billy?
i be de black billy from billaricy de essex hood.
Gay has a totally different meaning to that when I was young, gay meant bright, happy, brightly coloured not to homosexuals, they were given other names.
Like sausage jockeys, or bum boys, or back passage explorers, or buggers, or Peter Mandelbum, or bum bandits, or shit s……..
If Brown was the ‘financial brains of New Labour’ how come it’s Blair that’s making all the money?
If only we could make it compulsory for Blair to have to follow Brown’s financial advice, and for Brown to have to take spiritual guidance from Blair. Then we could sit back and wait to see which one is first to borrow a sidearm from the protection squad.
It was Balls, all Balls, he advised Gordoom, Gordon had no economis training so he relied on what he thought was the best advice from a highly qualified (Oxbridge and Harvard) advisor, he forgot one thing theory against common sense in the end common sense wins so he should have used his judgment
Don’t just love 20/20 hindsight ?
I wished Michael Jackson well.
Any chance of doing us all a favour and sending your best wishes for the Euro?
I wish he’d hire Dr Murray
Esta Bueno, hay algunos comentarios que no van pero bueno.
Larry is fine. He could clearly be seen entering No 10 by the front door last night during an OB on the the Ten O’Clock News. (I never hear what the shivering journo is saying, the comings and goings in the background are too distracting.)
He left her speechless….
I’ll be back in January. I hope you, the little people, can survive without me for two months. Arrivederci.
Baby, please don’t leave us bereft of your wise & scintillating name dropping.
Can someone get him to write a fan letter to Bruno Mars? One of the worst singers on the face of the planet.
This thread is sh*t. 72 posts in and nobody has yet drawn attention to this:

Now then, now then, guys and gals. When Gordon was chancellor, he asked if I could fix it for him to become prime minister. I said you don’t need me for that, you’ve got the Labour party to fix it for you.
Well that was him fucked !!
Re Sir Jimmy’s sad demise, an excellent comment from Popbitch:
“Somewhere, an angel is being inappropriately touched.”
howsabout that there then
Now then, now then. How’s about that, then, guys and gals? That one from Showaddywaddy was double fab. Oh, yes.
Poor Old Gordoom he does seem to pass on bad luck even when he sincerely wished her well, it seems that the lurgy is showing signs of fading, after well over a year now since he left office.
Stop Press. I am to be made President of the EU. Having saved the world they now want me to save Europe.
Is there any area of daily life that labour, during it’s 13 years of misgovernment, mismanagement, gordon’s badluck and their gross overspend, did not sour or ruin?
Peeing and pooping.
Nope not even there.
Under gordon’s govt he changed the legislation re: the installation of loos so that new loos have to have the french flushing button device rather than a handle.
I bet he was an inspiration for many lyrics such as:
‘all the things you said they were never true, never true’
or the concept behind chasing pavements?

Too slow. See #80.
sorry – don;t know how to post pictures either – massive fail
When you’ve finished your pastis, Google is your friend. (Hint).
I thought he was dead.
Her music is shit. She is a fat hoon who looks as if she is in her forties. She will not be missed by people who enjoy real music instead of that rot from Adull, Banal and others.
Bill Cash shud just let the PM get on with life, he’s had enough grief just let him get on with more important issues
