Who does Brown think he is?

Mark

He's off his rocker. He can lower oil prices, but not raise them.
He can create a boom but has nothign to do with a bust.
Brown has been showing signs of stress for some months. His recent behaviour suggests euphoria because he wrongly thinks he's turned the corner with the electorate.
Where are the men in white coats?

Dirty Euro

He did bring oil prices down he told the saudi king by the balls tand told him to get it down or he would get a tough on the evil king. Hey presto that woosy the king of the saudis got all scared and complied. Eat that tories. Job done. Nough said.

Hysteria

"getting delusions of grandeur""??? getting???

WTF? where have you been? - nine years ago he had eliminated boom and bust..........

Henry Rogers

Surely Mandy wouldn't want to do that? At some stage, when things get too much, an interim PM may be required. After listening to the shrink on the BBC's Daily Politics that could be sooner than we think. At a time of an officially proclaimed national crisis, a PM in the Lords could be possible once again. Mandy wouldn't mind being the saviour of his country, now would he? He'd find it most inconvenient of course but when duty calls....

Downing Street. Friday night.

Gordon: Peter, I'm changing my first name with immediate effect.

Peter: Eh?

Gordon: The third and two last letters are going and the remainder capitalised: GOD.

Peter: (calls out) Nick, Nick, plan B, now!

Enter Nick Brown in a high-speed waddle.

Nick: Nurthes! Nurthes! Bwing the rwestraints from my rwoom.

Burly, glistening male nurses charge in clutching handcuffs. They snap them over the Prime Minister's wrists.

Peter: (gleefully as 'GOD' is led away) Right. Emergency cabinet. Alert Queen. 'Phone Tony. Mission accomplished! Rio, Rio by the Sea-o (Breaks into exotic rumba moves.)

In a way , hes to be admired over this one- in his usual sly devious way. Hes knows that oil prices have come down- fact- I think they around $80 dollars a barrel now give or take. This at some point will filter through to the forecourt. Brown will then claim the credit. I am wise to him, this needs to be exposed prior to the forecourt prices coming.

Unhappily for him, lower prices mean less duty & less vat, just at the time the spendaholic needs it.

John Backhouse

Hey Dirty Euro,
The Saudi King told him to f*** off, so he did. The Saudi King also told him that he was a complete fool for expecting them to invest in ridiculous £100bn projects to get past all of Newton's laws - all of them mark you! Now, you won't be knowing what these laws are and so this will not mean much to you but, hey.

Susan Hill

Next off, he`ll have changed the climate.

Tanuki

I rather think 'delusions of adequacy' would be a better description.

Hysteria

Susan - he already has - lower economic activity in a recession means less emmissions and put that with the already observable cooling and BINGO -

Interesting actually - the MMGW effect will redouble and they will point to the cooling effects as evidence they are correct - in that they will assert the recession is behind the improved GW figures.

John Page

Mandy as the slave in the background...? I don't think so somehow.

Brown is in his element. I hope you keep a list of his vainglorious boasts to add to that one about abolishing boom and bust - it could provide some amusement as recession bites.

Who does the Prime Minister think he is? The answer is obvious. Having read the papers and having watched the BBC, the man now regards himself as Winston Brown. This morning's bout of hero-worship on the BBC has surpassed all its previous efforts in toadyism. Once judged the most unpopular leader since Chamberlain, the bolder-than-ever, funnier-than-ever Gordon has been transformed into a combination of Charlemagne, Ricky Gervais and Daniel Craig.
Despite this humiliating arselikhan, no one seems to have asked the public what they think. Do many voters really think that the Dear Leader has gone from Bottler Brown to Winston Brown in a matter of days? Mr. Mori - get your finger out.

"Is our Great Leader getting delusions of grandeur?"

What do you mean 'getting'; old Gordo is completely off his box & has been delusional for years!! He said he had got rid of boom & bust, total nonsense of course. Now he thinks his so called 'economic plans' will be able to save the financial world, again more nonsense.

He'll be telling us next that he can walk on water and talks to God. Time to send for the men in white coats.

Gordon Musgo

Hey, he thinks he's Winston Brown. That's good, cos I'm beginning to feel like Winston Smith.

JimBob

Outrageous-next you'll be telling us he gets supply and demand
