One in the eye for brown - from Clarkson

I've been listening to labour luvvies and an MP complaining about this. Where were they when spitting image was being broadcast? Oh I forgot, the tories got the worst of that, so it was all right.

Which planet did you post this from?Originally posted by AlfredJPruffock View PostI can tell you why he doesnt like the Scots.
Its because - during the last Tory Leadership election contest - he was soundly beaten by Dr Liam Fox - who happens to be a Scot and old acquiantance of mine.
I recall Liam was no3 in the race.
As for Brown - given that the UK is now coming out this recession first -I just wonder if he could have the last laugh - I hope not as I think Liam has what it takes to become a future Prime Minister - so I think its a case of sour grapesfro Clarkson - Im sure he will have upset Cameron as well given the Tories need votes North of the border too.
Bad move Mr Clarkson."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

Well banged to rights Sir.
I do apologise - I thought this comment was from Ken Clark who was beaten by Liam in the Tory leadership contest - not this other chap .
Yes I was on the Planet Gong there - I cant deny it.
Note to myself - in future do read the LinkLast edited by AlfredJPruffock; 6 February 2009, 10:10.Comment
