Brown smiles for the camera

strapworld

He made a snide comment that the opposition enjoyed the crisis, when being interviewed by Andrew Marr, this morning.

Smiling. but sticking to the carefully prepared script. He looked ill at ease, though.

If our Prime Minister put half as much effort into serving the country as he does into serving his own self-interest, then I'd guess that the British people might be able to feel a little more optimistic themselves.

I think he looks in the mirror and sees Barack Obama, gawd help us.

Now Gordon say '' CHEESE ''.

I just love that phoney smile.

Strapworld says

''He made a snide comment that the opposition enjoyed the crisis,''

Gordon Broon has grassed himself, he's actually talking about himself, its HIM thats enjoying the
crisis.

He looked far too pleased with himself for keeping secret his intentions about the date of the election.

Otherwise he stuck to his line: the clunking ham fist of Goebbels Brown will see the nation through this global crisis which is all the fault of American banks. Brown`s measures will achieve little - mere farts in the thunderstorm and about as helpful.

I put more faith in the invisible hand of that other, more illustrious, Kircaldy resident Adam "Wealth of Nations" Smith. Provided of course that the nation can be freed from the binding of tax and red tape that inhibits the enterprise spirit on which we all depend.

What 'British Goods' does he have in mind? Do the 'Britons' actually make anything at all?

The race is now on between Brown and Cameron to appear the best to lead us through the post-recessionary landscape

Er I know that Brown gets bored easily and loves to have a new crisis every week but aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves?

The worst of the recession by most accounts is still ahead and Brown is trying to move the agenda on. For God's sake get get his head out of those delusional neverneverland clouds and drag him back to reality.

Real people are going to have their lives ruined and Brown is to blame. Don't let him off just because he wants to run away from his complete failure!

Sickening!

Deluded, demented and following a script prepared by the fairies at the bottom of the garden.

How much more of this lying nonsense do we have to put up with?

Smiling makes him look psychopathic. It's not a good look.

It left me more convinced than ever that it's going to be the first half of 2010.

BalloChalk

Is it just me, or has Brown had a botox job done on his mug?

claims that British goods are "the products the world will want to buy"

I can only think of the dyson, which I would decline if offered as a gift.

JimBob

Has dunderhead only just reached the 'denial' phase?

Perhaps he realises how bad 2009/10 is going to be and that, even after all his screw ups, he is still in with a chance to win the GE.

Even Brown realises that when the recession is done and people start focussing on personality again he is finished. Cameron for all his faults is a likeable chap, and Brown is not.

Even if there is no light at the end of the tunnel by the GE, the personality factor could work for Cameron like it did for Obama in the US. Theres hope yet for the tories!

Verity

Elf - V good! Your comment was like an Alka Seltzer and took away the nausea I got when I saw that photo of him smiling.

BTW, to what "British goods" does he refer? Does know not realise that the world has moved way on since his days at uni and most countries are engaged in manufacturing. He's such a liar. He appears to think that Britain still features large in the minds of the people in other countries.

Trumpeter, yes, and "Deceive more slily than Ulysses could".

"Smiling makes him look psychopathic. It's not a good look."

Looks psychopathic? As Hamlet said - I paraphrase of course - to his Mum - Not seems! Is!!

Biographies of The Saviour indicate that he has all the symptoms of a sociopathic personality disorder. To me, it was the descriptions of the disorder, the shambolic mess of his domestic arrangements, the crib notes carried about in Tesco bags, the belongings strewn all over the scene that clinched it. Few sociopaths are in fact highly organised and efficient in the absurd Hollywood Hannibal Lecter style. Most are detached from reality and lead messy, disjointed lives and b*gger everything up. Which is of course why they always get caught. I think The Saviour knows he's soon going to get collared, be it by a rebelllion of the talking vegetables in the cabinet or by the voters.

Correction, correction - I intended to say first half of 2009 not 2010.

Oh aye; loovely picsher! Just like 'im - 't camera never lies, does it?

Brown is a clown. Rhetoric instead of action. Promises that are never fulfilled. Words, words, words from Humpty Dumpty, the man who says that words means what he wants them to mean. The man from the manse is out of ideas and nearly out of time. This is an amoral government who will say and do anything in a desparate attempt to stay in power.
