    He looks like someone operating a ventriloquist dummy, though at the same time he also looks like the dummy.
    At least this is one of the things that TB taught him correctly.
    It's Deja-vu all over again!

      I watched Fahrenheit 911 last night... GWB's smile is equally insincere, while also managing to convey a contemptuous smirky look too.

        I must admit that I hate pretty much everything about Brown - His fake smile, the media make over he has had, that slack jawed thing he does when he breathes in (Stop him breathing in!) the fact that he is a spin merchant in the same way that Blair was, except Blair knew how to do it while Brown looks like a fool as he gets caught out. As soon as anybody points out something his stock response is to say how much better things are now than when they took over a decade ago. As was pointed out before, I don't care what has gone on in the past. If my house gets repossessed tomorrow it is going to be little comfort that more people were getting dumped out of their houses 15 years ago. While he could hide when the brown stuff hit the fan while he was the Number 2 it is not possible now he is the PM. Hopefully he will go down in history as being the shortest lived PM in UK history.
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            Not going to happen, wikipedia (after much explanation as to how they arrived at this) gives

                If Brown is going to die in office I can wait for that, well for a year or two anyway.

                    I’d rather not wait. I say we go round his house, drag him out and hang him. Who is with me?
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
