Reply to: Gordon Brown speaking to US Congress now

SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE ME HAS BEEN SAYING IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT, BROWN TELLS AMERICA

In a keynote speech to the US Congress Mr Brown said he was 'shocked, shocked I tell you' to discover that a man claiming to be the British prime minister has used every possible opportunity over the last 12 months to lay the blame squarely at America's door.

The prime minister said: "He goes on television and says 'the economic crisis originated in America and then spread across the globe'. That's his catchphrase. But get this, right, the caption at the bottom of the screen says 'Gordon Brown, Prime Minister'.

"And I'm just sitting there watching it, thinking 'bloody cheek!'. And then I go into the office and everyone's saying 'good interview, prime minister' and I'm like, 'for ****'s sake, it wasn't me, okay?'.

Interesting. Of all the email comments the British Broadcasting Corporation could choose to publish they go for this one:

1649 BB, Toronto, Canada: "The British PM should not apologise for the economy. It wasn't Britain that engaged in credit default swaps or other derivatives."

Edit: telling that this was chosen particularly as it is utter bollocks as well.

I wasn't exaggerating when I said it was cringeworthy!!!

Maybe I should have given a warning to people with a full stomach first though

Thank God I do not have a sensitive gag response.

You have to listen to it, nearly pushed up my breakfast.

Are they making African babies listen to this twaddle as well?

That's a crime against humanity.

The twit had to drop in a story about a "poor African baby"

You lucky beggars!!!

I saw him on TV telling Barack Obama ‘you’d probably beat me at tennis’ even though Mr Obama has never played tennis. Obama must have thought ‘why does it smell of tulip in here? It didn’t smell that way this morning.’

Over here in continental Europe, we're deprived of this tulip because the Beeb doesn't make the little film thingies available outside the UK.

Am I missing something?

"Build tomorrow today"

What a load of cock

Would that mean bringing back tomorrow's world?

make him stop, please, make him stop.

He's in full lecture mode now:

"When the strong help the weak, it makes us all stronger," Mr Brown adds, saying the first duty of wealthy countries is to help the "not so wealthy". He refers to lessons learned in his father's church, that "wherever there is hardship … we cannot, we will not, pass by on the other side."
