    That grin.
    I'm sure it's Brown just trying to look unaffected by a load of criticism.
    However, it makes him appear like some sort of robotic arrogant fool who won't take a question seriously.
    Happy chappy

  • Nice rant. Factually wrong on various fronts, and no mention of where his lot would do things differently or would have done things differently. "Everyone knows Britain is worse off than everyone else" - then rattles off the EU and IMF as evidence for this claim. The same EU who pulled up the likes of France for borrowing too much but not Britain? he same IMF who said we'd have a deeper recession than anyone else then were proved wrong inside a week?

    Still, at least the Tory MEPs know how their parliament works. Which is why they are abandoning all ties with other Conservatives - indeed all the ruling Conservative parties from France, Germany etc, and are instead creating a new loony grouping from the peripheries of the Union. How to make friends and influence people? You might as well vote UKIP - at least they are honest in their foaming Europhobia.

    Where is Rochdale to say that Crash is saving the world... well maybe he is, from sleep deprivation!

    Rochdale has never claimed that Brown is saving the world. Perhaps you dreamed it.

    "The truth, Prime Minister is you have run out of our money......every British child is born owing around £20,000...servicing that debt will cost more than educating the child"

    The UKIP are opposed to the EU, not Europe as a trading entity.
    No foam involved.

    I don't think the UK could have one without the other, the time for that opportunity passed in the early 1970s.

    Why, what do you think they would do - stop selling us Renaults, Bosches and BMWs?

    Clearly, the dream is all Brown's.

    Of course not, they would try to make it difficult for us to sell them anything we'd be beholden to the EU's bureaucracy and not have any say whatsoever in how it developed. Border control at Calais would turn into a right pain from time to time as well, mostly from spite at us upsetting the EU apple cart.
