Terror on Downing St: The Movie

Peter From Maidstone

So why aren't these reconstructions running on British news? A picture paints a thousand words.

When is "Gordon Brown - Final fantasy" available on Playstation?

Marvellous stuff.

With apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford, let's have another little song about the Clunking, Secretary-bashing (allegedly) Fist that is Colostomy Brown.

To the tune of 'Sixteen Tons'. . .

New Labour's legacy is money and blood,
Under them this country has been dragged through the mud,
The damage began with Grinning Tone,
Now the PM's weak and it's all gone wrong,

Now with Gordon Brown, what do you get
Rage and spin and a country in debt
It's time for an Election and for Gordon to go,
This country just can't take any more,

Well, we've all seen Gordon bluster, bully and whine,
We all have questions 'bout the state of his mind
It is clear his temper's getting out of control,
He's a laughing stock for the world as a whole,

Now with Gordon Brown, what do you get
Rage and spin and a country in debt
It's time for an Election and for Gordon to go,
This country just can't take any more,

How he's stayed in office is hard to explain,
He's not been a PM worthy of the name,
With tantrums and mudslinging and smearing and lyin',
Thanks to him this country's in a steep decline,

Now with Gordon Brown, what do you get
Rage and spin and a country in debt
It's time for an Election and for Gordon to go,
This country just can't take any more,

If you see him comin', better step aside,
If you don't want a Nokia between the eyes,
He's Whelan in his corner and Balls at his heel,
And both the Right don't like him,
And the Left less still,

Now with Gordon Brown, what do you get
Rage and spin and a country in debt
It's time for an Election and for Gordon to go,
This country just can't take any more,

Any Jap punters around who could translate the commentary for us? The Nipponese audiences must be enjoying this version of British politics, regarded erstwhile throughout the word as quaint and staid having watched the Parliamentary Channel on cable TV.

The problem with this digital version of Gordo's tantrums is that in the current state of our desecrated society I fear the British electorate is more likely to vote for a cartoon character to remain as their PM than the Tory Leader.

Dungeekin

Excellent parody! Can't somebody do "Hitler's Bunker" version of it for You Tube?

They will Oscar ... they will!

Bloody Bill Brock

I get angry that 33% of voters are  morons.

Na Na Hey Hey

Doesn't the .hk rather suggest it's not from Taiwan?

HK

It is Hong Kong, not Taiwan.

Paul Owen

Excellent. And it's started to go viral now too. I've done my bit!

For a man who is supposed to stand on his dignity can it get any worse? A 59 year old man has been revealed to the nation he leads to be prone to infantilism whenever anything happens that is not to his liking. All we need is for someone to reveal that he occasionally screams and screams until he is sick and the image will be complete.

Perhaps we should suggest that Number 10 invites that lady who deals with brattish children on television to go in and sort him out. I believe one of her preferred methods for tantrums, during which they scream and shout and throw things (ring any bells?) is to shut them in a quiet room until they calm down. Number 10 is a big place. Surely such a room could be found? They could even add it to the Number 10 website. This is the Cabinet Room where great decisions are taken, this is the White Drawing Room, this is the State Dining Room and this is the cupboard under the Grand Staircase where we lock Gordon when he's shouting and throwing Nokias at people because somebody wrote something nasty about him in The Sun.

James Bowman

This is not a Taiwanese clip - the language is Cantonese and from Hong Kong.

Vulture

Frank...ahem...maybe same difference to you but this is Chinese!

Fraser

What was Mervyn King on there for? Is he Brown's nemisis who will take himout with a particularly stinging paper cut?

james

Here's another version.

It includes Gordos' Matrix style "bullet time" coke can throwing.

Those reconstructions are great. First there was Bruce Lee, then Chuck Norris, now we have Gordon Brown!
I wonder how long it will be until someone starts recycling all those old Chuck Norris jokes for Gordo?

Frank P

Vulture - even better - more people to watch it! :-)

Verity

Vulture, as James Bowman mentioned above, it's not "Chinese". Indeed, I don't think there's any such language. It's Cantonese. The other two major languages in China are Mandarin and Teow Chew.

In addition, the people in Tapei spend 24 hours a day not thinking about Britain, knowing nothing of British news or political players and most unlikely to be any more able to find Britain on a globe than the average Briton could identify Taiwan.

HK's a former British colony and probably still follows our news to some extent, however diminished we are. Also the late, great Bruce Lee was from Hongkers.

Dan Grover

I love the quick turn around! Maybe it's like obituaries, where they just have videos of Brown punching people lying around for the inevitable time when the story of him hitting people breaks.

London Calling

Hilarious…The animated Gordon looked more like an airbrushed David Cameron,
Avatar is so dull by comparison, even Neil Kinnock had a part playing the driver :0

stephen

Ha Ha! Well done HK or whoever did it! Can't the Tory PR people go into the Edit Suite and turn this into a Party Political Broadcast! Pity Spitting Image is not still on TV any more!

That Tennessee Ernie Ford clip led on to other of his clips on you. Brought back many memories of youth and yore. What a rich voice he had - pity about the musstosh though; was it an eyebrow pencil job?

That's a great blog of yours btw.

I am now visualising a range of cheap plastic children's action figures:

"Kung Fu Gordon Brown - with gurning face and special Nokia-hurling action!"

"Corridor-Blocking Ninja Gordon Brown: can you out-stare his one working eye?"

HO Lim-peng

Apple Daily is a Hong Kong newspaper/website established in the 1990s, run by Jimmy Lai, a pro democrat, and a good friend of fomer Governor Chris Patten. Often critical of Beijing, China has tried to get it shutdown in the past.

Beer Moth

Is it me or is the animated Brown being driven by Neil Kinnock?

Blahblah

I believe the same news outlet produced a reconstruction video of Tiger Wood's wife whacking him with a golf club, followed by a car skating across a road. They really should upgrade their 3D software!
