Gordon Brown - What Next?
Comments

The Prime Minister has been the unluckiest in recent times.
No, Gordon was very lucky during the years he was Chancellor. Despite what he did, the countries finances looked OK and he presided over a false "feeling" of economic wellbeing. If he had gone with TB, he'd have made history (wrongly) as being a very successful Chancellor (which he wasn't). But he stayed on and now he'll probably go down as one of the worst Chancellors/PMs in history! What a pillock!0 -

Deliberately created swine flu?
You're weird.
Really? Depends on whether you choose to believe what the BBC and other mainstream media channels feed you or whether you get off your !!!!! and do some research into it.
Now I'm not one for conspiracy theories generally, and am also fully aware that this guy is a bit of a basket case and has some VI, but those issues aside, the main points he makes in this video about it being deliberately created appear to true. Whether the rest of it about the mass genocide hold any water or not is another matter and it seems pretty far-fetched to me, but then there are a lot of pretty f***** up people in this world who will do anything to line their own pockets so it wouldn't surprise me too much if there is some truth to it.

The Prime Minister has been the unluckiest in recent times. With a terrorist plot in London 2 years ago and an actual attempt at Glasgow airport; the economy falling into recession; banks being bailed out and the current expense scandal. These are the main points, there's been many in between, including the possibility of an election in 2007 which he pulled out on later.
So, what else do you think will happen in the next year?
Interesting you should say that he has been "unlucky"
Given that Brown is arguably one of the most powerful men in Britain and has been working towards this job his whole life, I would assert not muhc of this was based in "luck" and that with his extensive experience of running the UKs finances, has had more control than any other person in the UK over the wealth or poverty citizens experience here in the UK.
He could have dealth with the expense scandal, he could have said listen to me if you dare to claim anything other than the ikea basic you shall be fired ( which I would have done) you claim you are a socialist I need to see you act like one.
But he didnt.
He has had the biggest access to advisors, economists, opposition and he would hav enad should have seen the economic situation. Because of his inherent flaws he simpoly cannot listen to criticism, this has been widely documented.
I cant bear to see him blame the "SYSTEM" he is the orchestrator of that system, and is the man with the most control over it.
You make your own luck in thisw world- or not in Browns case :rotfl::beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
he's had a major say in how this country has been run over he last 12 yrs , he could have done so much to prevent what is happening today - the sooner he goes , the better0

How is he unlucky? Most of the problems that we have are due to the idiot. Hopefully he'll !!!! off back to Scotland with his tail between his legs :mad:.0 -

Spending other people's money unwisely. Sounds like he is a brilliant socialist to me. A !!!!!! PM though.0
