    Thought you meant Gordon as in the boardsie....

    Alos, the other one's gone about 30 odd hour snow...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It has a Government. Its called the Queen. For the next hour or so Britain is a absolute monarchy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Saadyst


    Well step down in a few months if they could get a deal with the Lib Dems... since the talks failed with the Lib Dems, he's resigning immediately - which means there's no chance of Labour staying in govt now. So it's new news.

    He has to tell The Queen who should be next PM!

    I hope he says JIMMY BULLARD!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I'll just repeat what I said in another thread;


    I genuinely thought Brown came across really well in his speech - the looks on his and his wife's faces weren't of sadness or loss, they looked relieved.

    I thought it was nice they way he talked about being a father; it's the only time I've ever seen him really truly smile. All the best to him in the future, and fair play to him for not manipulating his children to aid his campaign (like certain leaders would...).



    Now for the Tories. God help us

    At which point the Queen updates her facebook status to 'Davo, my office now!!! lol :)'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 153 ✭✭pirateninja


    I thought it was a very good speech. He looked really composed and happy to just move on. It was really sad to see his two kids been brought out to leave, they haven't a clue whats going on.

    Gordons speech was amazing. Dreading the tories, back to the thatcher era we go! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,004 ✭✭✭Ann22


    I liked Gordon Brown....there I've said it..and I liked Tony Blair too. They always seemed very down to earth in interviews. I'm not taking to Cameron at all.

    Gordon's Alive!

    I wouldn't call this a return to the Thatcher era. There aren't many coal miners left to go on strike. These days, the trouble's at British Airways ... hmm.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Great idea, we could launch a blitzkrieg of Paedophile priests. Once they've established a beachhead, we could withdraw and leave the scum over there.

    Yeah I can picture the scene as Britain begins invading other European countries while America twiddles it's thumbs shrugging it's shoulders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭sron


    It seems Brown and Nü Labour are already having their legacy airbrushed. Labour wouldn't do a deal with the Lib-dems over the abandonment of I.D. cards (also there's the war, innumerable quangos, terrible economic management, and so on) - How can anyone call them even remotely left wing?

    At least one knows what to expect from the Tories, and tempered with the Lib-dems they should be moderate enough to exceed their predecessors.

    Doubt it! A Tory government is more likely to try to widen the English channel.

    Many leading Tories agree that the evacuation of Dunkirk was Britain's finest moment, when against all the odds, the British left Europe.

    Yeah, I couldn't give a **** who runs our biggest trading partner either.

    Up the ra!
