Time For President Brown to Stand Down
With World Bank President Robert Zoellick stepping down on June 30, the successor would traditionally be another American, Guido has a better idea. One wannabee candidate has proved their pulling power by making over £1.4 million from speaking engagements. This man has written weighty tomes on the economic crisis, and claims to have all the solutions. If those plans do not work, he can always full back on the moral compasses given to him by his father. A man who says he not only saved the world and saved the banks too:
Surely it is time for Gordon to stand down as an MP and begin a full-time campaign to become the next president of the World Bank.
Fall back, not Full back you illiterate.
Makes you weep.
I was only every really at my best as a Number Two
Yes Jonah….but you cannot polish a t*rd
Oh yes you can, when its been fossilised into a coprolite, but not when its as old as Gordon, can you, he’s not that old
Maybe not, but you can roll it in glitter and sell it as a Christmas decoration.
Oh yes, is that World BANK or World WANK?
THE CURSE! THE CURSE!
WE’RE ALL DOOMED!!
He can have the job, as long as he does not try to smile.
I’m sure he would do the job very well.
I thought the global arch megalomaniac Hilary Clinton was pushing herself forward for this one.
At least she has better financial credentials than Gordon having cut her teeth on Whitewater
Looking at her figure of late….it’s more Golden Arch than Global Arch
Moniker stealing?
Have you been banned from Facebook again?
Thought it was most odd.
And it is wannabe, not wannabee.
early lunch again? Why do you often have the very unpopular 1st break. I shall be in the Friary tomorrow. Looking at the empties.
Er, and ‘compass’ not ‘compasses’. Brown Senior was not teaching geometry.
what sort of crazy fuckwit would pay to hear that mongo speak?
i believe the gentleman in question advertises butter these days.
Oh god don’t even joke…..
FFS don’t let him near anything to do with money.
There’s no money left.
Except the £1.4 million Bonkers Brown made (or was MAD in the Seen Elsewhere link deliberate?) last year. Or has it all like BLiar’s ill-gotten gains gone to charity?
Now what charities would they be anything can be called charity if it states that is for the public good, Eton school is a charity. Charity is a very emotive word, too many strange entities have called themselves charities, some are tax fiddles, wake up HMRC
That £1.4 million should be grabbed under the “Proceeds of crime act” to help offset the £4Triillion of debts Labour racked up for the taxpayers.
or gold
Can’t we just tell him he’s the president of the world bank, lock him in a padded office somewhere and give him some crayons to play with…?
Lol…so well put…
Unfortunately Brown considers himself capable of doing this job and is already putting his name forward. It will be interesting to see if Blair supports him. If he gets the job he could be the first assassinated Head of the World Bank. But I suspect he will be protected by Al Queda and the Taliban as they believe he is the “chosen one” to bring about the total collapse of the West.
Were they not the two clowns who persuaded Bill Clinton to get rid of the act of Glass steagall in 1995, Mind you love to no which scottish Bankers put them up to it.
Excellent idea!
And we’ve still got the Nightgarden pull along telephone from when he was chancellor to put on his desk. And the Ben 10 Secret Agent invisible writing pen.
{its actually just an ordinary biro that’s run out of ink. But it keeps him happy.}
I’ve got a 007 wristwatch he can have
God save the world in the case.
Time to head to the hills and learn how to skin rabbits
You stay away from my rabbits.
Guido Fawkes th’as gone giddy old cock. Gordon Brown as president of World Bank, you can not be serious, stand down as MP that I grant thi lad but president of the World Bank, Gordons moral compasses just spin around they don’t settle in one position.
It’s the same compass that jack sparrow used in the ” pirates of the Caribbean “
Everything he touched, he destroyed. He didn’t even have to try, it just came naturally.
A remote island in the Outer Hebredes would be much more suitable.
Why do you hate Hebrideans?
There’s a very nice little island named Gruinard where they did anthrax experiments….it’s supposed to be clear now but you never know your luck.
What has anthrax done to deserve Brown?
Stop stealing my gags.
Part of the Irish Sea, where they dumped the WW1 surplus shells and chemical weapons and they go off occasionally.
There.
Rockall?
St Kilda might be safe enough … for us!
St Kilda is a suburb of Melbourne and the good folk of that little village do not want him, thank you.
Now that’s a though, why not send Gordon to Iran and then there would be no need for a war a many innocent lives would be saved
The Island of Gruinard in Scotland is perfect for Gordon, so we can better access effects of UK government tests.

Falklands and let the Argies take him
Pluto was a planet but not now, Gordon was always away with the sky fairies so blast him of there.
it’s funny watching Dictator Dave standing with Sarkozy and shouting about the ‘butchering’ of people in Syria – when that is precisely what he is doing to poor and disabled people in his own country. What a c’unt
Indeed. Only last week I saw Cameron butcher an entire family in the streets. Just shot them right there and started into them with a knife. Disembowled ‘em right there on the pavement and then cut them into joints right there in the street he did.
How uncouth, one should always hang one’s meat for at least a month. I’m starting to think Eton’s no better than a secondary comprehensive.
Oh I think he was going to hang the individual joints because he put a hook through each joint, hung them on a handy wheel-chair belonging to one of his disabled victims and wheeled his meat away like that.
You were in Tottenham too last summer.
i remember Dave going red at a press con in Downing street saying he was going to sort out those people who were threatening to execute Charles and Cammy in Oxford St.
He then stormed off and no one has heard anything since.
No good in a fight is Cameron. He would not last a Friday night in Wrekenton.
In the streets? makes a change I suppose. his usual M.O. is to go into hospitals and slice chunks of fresh flesh from disabled children, in front of their terrified parents, is it not?
Perhaps he was a bit peckish on his way home and stopped off for a snack.
You missed out the bit where he ate them………
How is he doing that?
Prone to exaggeration are we?
Too true, only last week I butchered 13 spastics and upset the baker.
Oh I say, there seems to be quite a bit of artistic licence in that statement!
In truth it’s utter bollocks!
Do fuck off and spout silly slogans elsewhere where they might be acceptable – try Al JaBeeBa for one!
I am pleased you lot realize the fat Hunt is in Paris.
He has just wished Sarkozy bonne chance in his reelection campaign.
Kiss of death.
What bon mots does he have for Francois Hollande a Socialist who makes kinnoch look world class.
If hollande gets in you lot will be out of Europe by Xmas.
If Sarko is around you will be allowed to stay in the room with your gob shut but if you think you can sell us that aircraft carrier think again.
If you fellows give us our freedom I can guarantee you that we will place Mr Brown under house arrest in his Manse.
Will you also take the huge number of left wing Scottish MP’s and those in Parliament serving as Spads etc?
We would be most grateful and would make it worth your while.
1.4 million from sp*eaking engagements?
I feel physically ill.
The thought that there is anybody on the planet unaware of his economy-destroying, reality-denying imbecility is heart-breaking. The thought there is anybody on the planet so catastrophically uninformed and with the money to pay to listen to the jackass is simply … inexplicable.
Are his earnings paid into a limited company?
I suspect for a man of Brown’s integrity and moral compass they’re paid into a charity. Just like Blair’s.
You mean like this?

Gold hits record high….Sarah admits on Twitter that she’s learning to Fence… Brown says he was paid over a Mil. for speaking when we all know he’s totally crap. I think we now know where all that gold went….
Probably, that scum bag went after IT contractors when he became chancellor leading to offshoring and wot not.
Yes they certainly are – The Office of Gordon & Sarah Brown Limited
Regrettably, most Americans never travel outside the boundaries of their small isolated country towns. Their news media does not really help either so you can’t really blame them.
I wouldn’t trust the one-eyed git with my kid’s piggy bank.
Sod the piggy bank, get your kid away from the perv.
Thats why he brought in PFI. No piggy banks, no problem. I can spend now and let my children and grandchildren pay.
The twat, did he think you could borrow money and not pay it back, he certainly found a way around it, hand the debt over to another generation.
Look its the money tree, every socialist know that the money tree supplies all, but the nasty capitalists and tories cut them all down and the left have been searching high and low all over ever since to find new ones.
Its not economics its horticulture!!
Ah the Brown moral compass. He did not pass by on the other side, he gave the job to children not yet born.
He sold the piggy bank back in 1999. With all the gold.
But he invested the money wisely in diversity initiatives.
you will see a big return on that money in 20-500 years time.
Would not even trust him with a whelk stall
Is it time for a special super tax on former Labour PMs earnings, they seem out earn most top bankers by a healthy margin and we know they are committed to fairness.
If ever we wanted to start World War III …………. make Gordon president of World Bank.
Hopefully his potential appointment requires approval from Cameron/Osborne like the IMF job.
For the sake of world p*eace he must be kept away from any further opportunity to destroy anything.
Guardian columnist on R2. – Tesco should not have unpaid interns. They must give paid jobs to only the long term unemployed.
Why just Tesco? Why not Guardian media Group?
They should kick out their ‘daughters and sons’ university interns and replace them with highly paid members of the long term unemployed.
It’s their hooman rites, innit. Ghastly to expect able bodied folks to do something rather than toss it off all day. Work provides social benefits too, identity, opportunity and the space to learn but heaven forfend if it doesn’t provide a Tuscan retreat after a couple of months spouting drivel.
Yeah, you learn a lot packing shelves in Tescos. Tescos even get paid by the government to take the slave labour. And when the ‘work experience’ is over they just get a new lot in.
If it wasn’t for this scam, Tesco would have to offer jobs to people, and where would that lead?
Every little helps!
Every Lidel helps
And don’t forget that me and my party started the unpaid intern business in Westminster but due to undue publicity had to do a U turn and now support them getting paid something – like in beer, doughnuts or sweets or even voucher.
I have employed 14 Interns, all but 2 for a very short time, female. I employed Katya because she was the best qualified for the job, although I did not interview anyone else. I did pay Katya and put her up in a luxury flat paid for by the taxpayer; well wouldn’t you if you were shagging a 21 year old? I took her on many foreign holidays, also paid by the taxpayer. I do not know how many times I visited Russia in the last few years as I lost my passport in the sea. Boaz and many thanks to the UK and Russian Taxpayers.
Any more mention of my daughter on this blog Handycock and I am on the next plane from Ekaterinburg to sort you out, Pervert.
Guido,
please,
some decorum,
your suggestion is not a joke,
it’s not even in good taste,
or, as Kenny Everitt would say “not even in the worst possible bad taste”,
its a dreadful nightmare.
Let someone from Peking have the job, they have all the loot.
Not true as the BBC and left wing media (USA and Canadian sources) forget to mention that the bank bailouts in China at this moment as bad as ours. Difference is the Chinese Communist party is bailing out its own banks to the tune of billions of dollars by large broke banks taking over broke smaller banks. Sounds familiar?
Yes, yes, yes.
But that’s all renimbi and funny paper and credit.
Peking still has trillions in foreign assets which they hav’n't sold at the market bottom, like Brown and gold.
Whilst their banks are fucked with bad debts and non performing loans it’s all an internal problem.
They still have realisable assets external to the old empire.
“I need ploppy Sarah!”
Oh Dear Lord NO! Just no!
The broadcaster risked angering unions and campaigners by stating that interns have “no rights” and admitting that it did not even pay them a minimum wage.
The full extent of the BBC’s reliance on unpaid workers came to light months after Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, caused problems in the coalition by suggesting that interns should be given the minimum wage.
Documents released under Freedom of Information laws show that 6,283 people have worked for the Corporation for free since 2007.

How are the next generation going to pay all the debt they will inherit if they have to work unpaid?
Funny how banker’s high salaries are ‘justified’ because they pay a lot of tax, and slave labour is justified because it saves taxes.
It’s time for Brown to stand down as an MP and crawl under a stone on the M25
Gordon Brown campaigning? As long as he doesn’t bump into Mrs Duffy again and get quizzed about quantitative easing. I suspect GB will do what he has done so well for the last two years and, like dad, keep mum. These last 21 months could be said to have been the highlight of his career. They have certainly been those when he has been of most benefit to the British people and the world economy.
He showed no interest when a NYC hotel chambermaid enabled a vacancy as head of the IMF for which he would, as a European, been more qualified (and nobody showed any interest in him, it must be said). He should prove no obstacle to the current US Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, becoming the President of the World Bank which would at least enable the benighted US taxpayer to secure some relief as well as Mr Geithner to regain his favourable tax position when he worked for the IMF.

Much like a child throwing a firecracker into a crowd, I’d like to see Brown run the World Bank.
I mean, how the fcuk does one nationalise the World Bank?
photo/1
I could fuel either of those two (no, not the one in the middle) with my ‘pellets’.
ugly looking boiler.
Is the Beardie standing in the middle Mike Handycock? They’d better watch themselves if it is he might slip something into their tea.
Same thought crossed my mind
You can have the one on the right.
Well well well. Labour MPs discover fire. FFS most of us have been burning logs since fire was invented and what is more for most of us they are free and there is no VAT to pay either.
Just a hypothectical question. Just suppose (perish the thought) that Cameron & Ozzie were PM & CofE when the banks needed rescuing.
I do not believe that they would have acted any differently to Brown.
Probably not.
Bailing the banks wasn’t the problem. Our debt comes from 2009/10 when the Brown government decided to spend our way out of debt. Or more accurately, spend our way to not allowing a recession to really kick in until after the election.
Spending doubled again in just that year. Its why all the union’s graphs only use debt charts that end in 2008/9. That way Uk debt looks manageable.
RBS they would have saved. Not so sure of Northern Rock as this was a political decision by the Labour Party to protect their MP’s.
No the precendent was set with Northern Crock which forced similar action with RBS, which sits in with the political precedent.
No the banks should have been allowed to fail.
But, as the old joke goes, ‘I wouldn’t have been starting from here.’
Only an absolute imbecile would have stood there and watched the UK banks gear themselves up to their eyeballs lending money to fuel a monstrous house pr*i*ce boom after the example of the late 1980s. A situation so deeply ingrained in the collective memory (at the time) that he (Brown) specifically referred to it in the 1997 Labour manifesto and pledged not to rep*eat.
A situation he (and, to be fair, half the fucking muppet population) had forgotten by 2002. 20% annual house pr*i*ce increases. Year after fucking year. And nobody thought this was unusual? Nobody in power wondered what the entirely predictable outcome would be? Nobody moved to stop it?
But housing bubbles make people rich! Nothing illusory about the wealth at all!
Just buy a hovel, paint the walls, stick some twigs in a vase and you’re a property developer!
Then sit back and watch the wealth roll in, you earned it!
Indeed as all the attention is focused on the incompetent Bankers and Politicians it is incumbent upon us not to neglect the third grouping of the axis of stupidity, as completing the Holy Trinity of Fuckwittery we have have the General Public, thick as fuck and morgaged to the hilt and beyond. Stupid fuckers.
The most lucrative speech that Mr Brown has delivered was made late last year, when he was paid almost £75,000 to address a conference organised by the “ANAP Foundation”, a charity promoting good governance, and the Nigerian national newspaper ThisDay. The organisers also paid more than £20,000 to fly Mr Brown and his staff to Lagos and put them up.
A speech from the master scammer!
So is Foreign Aid being paid to Brown via these people in Lagos?
The political speech equivalent of ‘coals to Newcastle’.
Brown lecturing Nigerians on ‘good governance’.
Hilarious.

Would you employ him ? Gordon Brown is no more regarded outside the UK than he is here and I suspect he is little regarded in America either and surely they would have the final say as to the President of the World Bank.
Only Brown actually believes he saved the Global Banking System(or even the World) in 2008
Trouble is he’s regarded enough to get £1.4m for regurgitating the same old drivel time after time. It happened in America where they are not as bright as they think they are.
Jonah – World bank: Are you f**king mad?
Prescott -Chief of Police ?
You’re all wrong I tell you. Wrong!
He is a brilliant choice, look at the facts:
Since re-election as an MP he’s done fuck all apart from drag himself around the world doing absolutely everything except the job he’s actually paid to do.
Make him Head Honcho of the World Bank and by his very absence the whole global economy will go into overdrive, precisely because, by his very nature, he’ll be elsewhere, gloomily droning on to anyone who’ll listen.
It’s the fucking perfect outcome for everyone.
Make it so.
just fuck off brown!
Just Brown off Fuck.
Gordon brown – the ultimate banker.
Surely the spelling is incorrect with the b being replaced with a w?
I d rather he put his Jonah Touch as President of EU
I should be President of the World Bank. I destroyed the press’s ability to carry legitimate journalism!
Or is it The Borld Wank?
Andrew Castle would be completely fucking skint if he was paid on a no win no fee basis.
lol…………
My hero, bleep, wibble, hatstand, toaster.
BBC reports that the legal challenge to the rise in university tuition fees has failed. The spin very carefully strings this albatross round Vince Cable’s neck so nobody forgets whose department did it:
The teenagers had challenged Business Secretary Vince Cable’s decision to allow universities in England to raise fees from £3,290 a year to up to a maximum of £9,000 from this autumn.
I’m reminded of the Pledge which Nick Clegg is photographed holding with Julian Huppert at Cambridge, where the Conservative was a credible challenger. Huppert promised two universities-worth of students and lecturers that the LDs would never, ever vote for fee increases. When Vince Cable did it, Huppert begged for a special excuse-me note in the vote so that he wouldn’t have to face his constituents and say he’d broken his pledge.
That picture again:

I want to be Chancellor, borrow as much as I possibly can, delete every Labour voter from HMRC database so they don’t pay any tax and when I finally get thrown out I will follow my hero Gordon round the after-dinner speaking circuit and become a millionaire too.
I will also be able to give up that daft MP’s job I’ve got up North where those silly sods keep voting me in. It’s truly a wonderful world…
After he paid damages for wrecking people’s lives. Pathetic useless c’unt! Does the spineless mong still go jogging!
Can the scrounging, useless c’unt not take a hint and fuck off? Spineless Retard!
Brown is not wanted or needed. The arsewipe needs to take his entourage of thick c’unts and move on.
OT This morning I can’t get any Canadian sites! I can’t even get Gmail. All I can get is Order-Order. Very strange….
Hopefully not to upsetting then?
Make him President of Europe which will speed up the inevitable demise of the Eurozone!
From what I have read, Brown has not taken a penny personally from his books, speeches etc. Give the guy a break, you hateful f*ckin trolls and start attacking tax avoiding tory f*cktards like Ashcroft etc. If this so called goverment got its finger out and closed all the tax loopholes of the super rich, it could pay off this counties depts in one go.
Are you here for the interview re the vacancy that has arisen for House Troll ?
Brown has not taken a penny personally from his books,
Hardly surprising. Nobody in their right noggin would pay to read one.
Prime is a Prime Hunte.
I truly appreciate this post.I have been looking all over for this!
