    Gordon Brown.
    He said: "SME's are the engine of growth in the UK"
    He meant: "I'm going to tax the life out of you capitalistic pigs for daring to be entrepreneurs" (and whaddya know, small business CT is going up). ****.

    From an article by Tony Blair in The Guardian, November 3, 1997:

    He said: "...We were elected on May 1, determined to modernise Britain and restore faith in politics..."
    He meant: "...We were elected on May 1, determined to line our own pockets and those of our corrupt friends..."

    He said: "...There will be zero-tolerance of failure: there is no room for poor performance, whether it is in our schools, childrens' homes, or collecting rubbish..."
    He meant: "...Who gives a stuff! Most people are too thick to understand what we're doing to their country..."

    He said: "I have vowed to clean up politics: there is no room for sleaze in the new Britain...."
    He meant: "I intend to increase the level of sleaze in politics, and to introduce new phrases like "cash for honours" and "stealth taxes", and to be the first serving prime minister to be questioned by the police in an ongoing enquiry..."

    started a topic He Said, He Meant

    He Said, He Meant

    Translation of our glorious leaders famous quotes into a truth.

    He said - 24Hrs to save the NHS

    He Meant - 24Hrs to raise enough for the big consultancies to convince them I'd be a non executive good director.

    He Said - I'm a pretty straight kind of guy

    He Meant - Go on swallow the lie.
