    It's not stating facts at all.

    It's stating facts from PARTS of the full picture.

    These "facts" don't for instance, include the general stabilizers we have in this country. You are simply doing the same, and spinning what was actually stated.

    So why is it that your PARTS and spin are always right, and mine always wrong....?

    Knowing pretty much nothing about politics, I found it interesting that the video cuts off before any sort of response can be given which speaks volumes to me. What a silly one sided way to present an argument.

    Yes, lets see.
    I can't remember who made the prediction, possibly those dodgy chancers the IMF.

    Video has reached just under 168,000 hits (was 220 last night), showing a lot of honours (Youtube popularity stats).

    I also spotted this today:

    I'd rather not see what happens, if you jump off a very high cliff, the chances are you know what will happen without actually doing it.:D

    I love it when the BBC say 'internet phenomenon' which is usually code for 'it got so popular and we had so many complaints that we HAD to cover it' :D

    ............and the ramblings of some no name, MEP will still be irrellevant


    It's what was said, and how the 'speech' was delivered that counts, not who delivered the speech that counts. Did you see Brown grinning like an idiot and doodling on a piece of paper whilst he squirmed with embarrassment during the speech?

    The BBC comes out of this almost as badly as Brown.

    The story that got away, despite the BBC's best efforts!
