Hi Mr Gordon Brown here...Squatters rights...can you help?

I`m currently living at well known address...but wish to stay...
I refer to my byline below ...

Ad hominem
An attack upon an opponent in order to discredit their arguement or opinion. Ad hominems are used by immature and/or unintelligent people because they are unable to counter their opponent using logic and intelligence.

    Then stay, constitutionally you can - until it's proven that you can't govern.
    Of course, most of us already knew that you couldn't, it only needs a No Confidence motion to convince everyone else ;-)

    Unfortunately every few years new squatters are likely to force you out. No one seems to last that long at your address.
  • Maybe he is permitted a months notice, just curious if its the Queen who checks condition of the house for new tenants ie if kids have moustached any of the portraits of Mags, Winston etc :p

    The Tory Mp on made me laugh yesterday on the beeb, Saying that We've won Gordon should leave now its disgusting that he trying to stay on.

    In his press briefs he didn't say anything of the short, He said first I'll give Nick Cled and Cameron to form a government.

    I wonder if Brown has changed the lock barrels (being careful to keep the old ones to replace when he leaves). Cameron should say he was passing by and smelt gas to get emergency access :D

    He's probably shredding the evidence.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Is there actually a tenancy here as no rent is being paid?

    Neither Brown nor the rest of what is left of the Nu Labour Reich can take a clear hint from the electorate. YOU LOST THE ELECTION - NOW BE ON YOUR WAY!
