Brown and Blair, together again

Liz Brown

I feel a strong urge to throw up

Marcher Baron

"We even learn why his handwriting is so bad ("due to the way he was taught to write at school," apparently)." Well, naturally, it would be somebody else's fault (his teachers') and not his own!

We even learn why his handwriting is so bad ("due to the way he was taught to write at school," apparently).

I wonder who taught him economics?

Nicholas

This miserable excuse for a human being is beyond belief. Since his "government" now consists of one long party political campaign on behalf of New Labour in the run up to an election he is too vindictive and too yellow to announce it's time parliament was suspended. I don't think I can take much more of this creep's devious games or the inability of the Tories to make telling blows against such a huge bag of piss and wind..

And he made that last idea up all by himself in the lonliness of his own room. Sad, very sad

reading the posts in the standard tells you everything you need to know about what people think of brown using his family and blair for political ends. Its also been posted on sky with the same backlash !

Charlie

And with a TV appearance alongside Piers Morgan in the schedules, it does seem that Brown is keen to present a more human front...

It is hard to imagine two more disliked characters.

Do tell us what it was about his school that made them to blame for Broon's handwriting. I was educated free in Scotland about the same time and my handwriting is lovely. I can't remember teachers bothering themselves with handwriting. You took a biro and got on with it. Perhaps it was infant school. Heavens, I can't remember that far back. Perhaps more of the belt for Master Broon would have done the trick. Spare the rod, don't you know.

Chuck Unsworth

Revolting, lying, hypocrite. Is this man fit to be our Prime Minister?

Sir Graphus

He's not standing for election, so shouldn't he sod off.

Its way to late for Gordon to do "human" he is hated by the UK population and I cant see this changing.
I personally have never heard anyone defend him and many boo him when he appears on TV in the Pub.

Electioneering This man will stop at nothing to win the election.

He want's us to feel sorry for him now.

Lots of people have impediments and problems in life.

Deal with it Brown.

The best bit is when Brown says "We've had 10 years of good government".

Given Labour have been in for 13 years, that's presumably not including the 3 he's been in charge for......

Chris lancashire

Oh I do hope Blair features large in the election campaign. Brown and Blair together: the proverbial opposition donkey would get elected.
Go for it Tone!

Pathological liars always 'believe' themselves. The latest statement is, in their eyes, the truth. So when Brown says he does not do 'personality politics' he believes that to be the truth. He obviously does not class Cameron as a 'personality'

Liz Brown - please pass the sick bucket when you're finished.

the Bliar Brigade will be out in force
with their banners and their plastic masks.
And will they biting from the same Walls Raspberry Cornet again?

I would be really miffed if Brown left before the election, as like millions of other voters I want to give him my verdict on the past thirteen years of Labour rule. Now the prospect that he will be joined in the campaign by Blair, Mandelson, Campbell and the rest of the clique which has delivered the weakest economy in the G7, piled up record levels of debt and managed to combine being the most bellicose government since the War with negligent underfunding of the armed forced, makes my pleasure even greater. Now, we can pass judgement on the lot of them.

This from the man who worked so closely with the disgraced evil spinner Damian McBride over so many years and stands accused of not declaring a private slush fund.Elected in 1983 he has condoned the practices in Parliament for 27 years and then suddenly professes to be a born again squeaky clean person.Born again-surely the World would not be asked to suffer another Gordon Brown.

Brown and Blair in the election campaign.

I am reminded of Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier handcuffed together in 'The Defiant Ones'

'Baron's' point is the apposite one. For Brown, it is always someone else's fault. When his paradigm is broken he has to invent a way to move on to create some new one.

Major Plonquer

I agree with Gordon Brown. Of course its not his fault. You lot voted for him and for New Labour. Three times. You got what you voted for. Why blame the poor halfwit for that?

TGF UKIP

Must have been some very hard swallowing to incorporate Blair. Only possible reason can be to give emphasis to what a poor apology of an heir Dave actually is.

Plus which Blair's presence may help make Iraq less of a negative if they constantly remind voters that it was the Tories who were solidly (and in my view quite rightly) behind Blair on the war.

“But I am not going to get into personality politics. It is not what I have done in my life.”

The man is insane. And he must think we are too, to even allow this hogwash more than a moments thought.

That moment's thought skipped back to his electoral plank of 'Tory toffs' which obviously in his severely deluded mind isn't politics of the personal but his whole life's meaning. His raison detre of sheer hate filled malice for those he seems to think exist merely on privilege and patronage.

Of course the Labour pyramid of privilege and patronage and the dizzy heights of it’s hierarchy which propelled this delirious, hubris filled wreck of humanity doesn’t count in his self serving mind.

I watched his performance during this weeks PMQ’s as Cameron, riding the high ground, mocked and baited and quite frankly wondered at one point that he was on the verge of crack up.

The writhing, contorted facial muscles doing a deformed jig reminded me not so much of a man who got what he wanted after years of plotting but of a man demented by the knowledge that after he’d got what he’d wanted it all blew up in his face.

Wrecked pride. Ruined aspirations. Openly mocked by the general public. Then the quite unbelievable assertion that after the election he’d still stay on as PM. Quite an assumption from a man who’s post has been seriously challenged by at least three leadership coup’s from his very own people.

I’m begining to believe, as I watch his antics, the similar let them eat cake, dictatorial EU and across the pond, Obama’s long walk into oblivion, that politics has to be the father of the Peter Principle.

This triumph of the bullshitting, untalented mediocrities who hold our lives in their sweaty , glutinous grasp has to be viewed by future historians with nothing less than wonder.

How and why did we allow it to happen in so called democracies? That is unless the thin tissue of people power and freedom, the benchmark of real democracy has been so traduced and rendered meaningless by the invasion of global Frankfurt Marxism that democracy is now merely a hollow term.

About as hollow as anything which passes for truth which then passes from Brown’s lying psyche.

JohnAnt

I'm just idly wondering which Downing Street expert was responsible for stage-managing this utterly appalling PR catastrophe.
Or maybe it was Brown's idea? The Me-And-My-Family-And-My-Ideals spiel hasn't worked this time, has it.

Dorothy Wilson

The more Brown tries to show he is a normal human being the more he proves the opposite.

And Blair to participate in Labour's campaigning for the general election? That's another load of votes lost.
