What Gordon Brown is Really Doing in America



David Blackburn of Coffee House comments on the PM's current visit to America:

It turns out that the PM’s not in America to address the UN about nuclear proliferation and he’s not there to cosy up to the President, although naturally he won’t be able to resist a spot of “Obama-beaching”. No, he’s crossed the Pond to be acknowledged as the ‘Saviour of the World’.

Iain Martin reports that Brown was crowned ‘Statesman of the Year’ last night by an organisation called, ironically, ‘Appeal of Conscience’, who’ve evidently never heard of 0% spending rises, Damian McBride or Colonel Gadaffi. The PM must be dead chuffed; it’s a very prestigious award: it was presented by Bono. Satire's dead.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I posted on this yesterday.

Most of my readers thought I was taking the piss.

I wonder why...

From their site

"The Appeal of Conscience Foundation, founded by Rabbi Arthur Schneier in 1965, has worked on behalf of religious freedom and human rights throughout the world.

This interfaith coalition of business and religious leaders promotes peace, tolerance and ethnic conflict resolution. The Foundation believes that freedom, democracy and human rights are the fundamental values that give nations of the world their best hope for peace, security and shared prosperity".

Freedom, democracy and human rights? They obviously don't know about the Labour totalitarian police state of the UK. Who the fu*k does their research?

And Bono... I HATE BONO!

It's all so laughable, these people do not share our planet, they reside on another world in another dimension somewhere.

I wonder if it will occur to him that he must go to a foreign country to receive praise? Still, as a 'son of the Manse', he is bound to know that little thing from Matthew:

"A prophet hath no honour in his own country." 13:54.

Obviously a Zionist front organization.

I read your post Rab and thought exactly the same. :)

Was only when I saw it this morning in CH and on TV that I realised it was truth.

My apologies, won't let it happen again!

Very true Sue and they're able to do it because they have no worries about finding the money to live.

I HATE BONO too. Awful character.

Oh Edgar, you take me back to my Sunday school days.

Somewhere I read they have a lot of influence scunnert. But these setups usually do - far more than the Neighbour Watch here anyway.

Do you think Tony Blair put them up to this to take the piss?

Faux Cu said...

Talking about Tony Blair, I dosed off the other night to the tones of Tony Blair talking all about the UN meeting. to which he was going.

Who invited him and on whose authority is he speaking?

At the very least I expected the Prime Minister, Mr Mandelson, to speak on our behalf.

Do you think that Gordon is finished and knows it so he is concentrating his dying days on raising his feelgood factor?

Has the dirty deal been done over a bowl of Spag Bol at The Granita?

Faux Cu said...

meanwhile at the LibDum Conference

"BBC bosses have been condemned at the Liberal Democrat conference over the axing of Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips. "


and


"Nick Clegg has declared that he wants to become Prime Minister, as the Liberal Democrats boldly claim that they are within reach of winning the next general election."


Do you suppose the LibDums are all on the same heavy meds as Gordon?

Nuts!

Faux Cu said...

Do you not think that Gordon looks like the guy in the Hola Tombola advert, after a bad night though?

wv = turetera

close enough eh?

subrosa said...

You mean the Tony Blair who called Brown 'his successor' on TV last night? He just couldn't bear to say his name.

subrosa said...

Wasn't Tony Blair going on about climate change on Newsnight last night? I'm sure someone will verify that.

So there's money in climate change or he wouldn't be involved.

subrosa said...

Aye FC, I watched Nick Clegg declaring his desire to me PM on the news earlier.

Poor man, but at least he shares his dreams. :)

subrosa said...

I seldom watch TV FC so don't know the advert.

Faux Cu said...

Just checking to see if you watch daytime TV SubR

subrosa said...

Jings FC, I know you think I'm superwoman but looking after this blog plus the rest of my life doesn't involve watching much TV.

I scarified the lawns this afternoon ready for their winter feeding. Done yours yet? lol

Faux Cu said...

I don't have a lawn, just a bloody great field which my neighbour, the farmer, cuts twice a year for me.

The grass is only starting to grow again as we have received some rain and the temperature is nit so high.

subrosa said...

Lucky you FC. My wee lawns look kind of like wee fields since this scarifying business yesterday.

Hopefully it'll recover in the spring but I'm following the advice of the Lawn Care DIY book. It'll get a haircut later today then feed tomorrow and that's that.

Bugger Lugs said...

How do you scarify a lawn?

Shout at it?

subrosa said...

Naw Bugger Lugs, shouting is when you cut it.

Scarifying is when you tear its hair out and hope, with a bit of restorative stuffy, it'll grow back.
