I'll miss the way he takes breaths in his speeches.

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

Ann22 · 11-05-2010 08:37PM

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.

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.

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

i agree I tought it was an emotional speech though. Best of luck to him

I think
They will regret getting ridding of him

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

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.

I'm quite attracted to Gordon Brown

Newsnight end the Era of New Labour with an Oasis song. Apt.

Tar.Aldarion · 11-05-2010 11:39PM

I thought it was our Gordon and was most saddened. Don't scare me like that. Don't care about some random politician, it's all about the boards.

i quite liked the guy

starbelgrade · 12-05-2010 02:52AM

I disliked Gordon Brown immensely as a politician - mainly for his complicit part in in the invasion of Iraq - despite his later settting up of an inquiry.

However, I really am not looking forward to five years of looking at this orange faced, smug Tory git for the next 5 years...

I've heard that Chairman Mao was gas craic to be round. A real practical joker.

sdanseo · 12-05-2010 03:52AM

Personality wise, I quite like Gordon Brown. Although it must be said he only really grew on me during the campaigns, he seemed the most honest, knowledgeable and down to earth although I don't nessecarily agree with him on a lot of things.

Cameron seems friendly, and is youthful and energetic - as is Clegg - but he's still a tory. He's a right gimp at times too.

UK needs PR/STV and needs it now. The Lib Dems got absolutely slaughtered in that election - they should have about 150 seats, not 57.

Misty Chaos · 12-05-2010 04:53AM

Interesting day over in England, huh?

I wish David and Co all the best, they're probably going to need it!

As for the old Labour government, it was nowhere near perfect but we have to remember they played an important part in Northern Ireland over their time in power and I think we should be grateful for that at the very least.

StormWarrior · 12-05-2010 09:02AM

I voted Conservative, and while I would much rather have a purely Tory government than a coalition, I am still thrilled that that fat old one-eyed frogface has gone, and we finally have a classy and dashing PM that we an actually be proud of on the world stage. In the words of Elizabeth the First: "This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."

Gordon gone!
