How would that work, since AFAIK he's still alive?

Where's the fluffy Gordon Brown story?


There's plenty of Gordon stories around today all about how he needs
to watch his back.

Seems his own party hates him more than we do.

If you're bored and/or frustrated with mainstream politics and mainstream
"news", and you have nothing better to do that watch rubbish even though it's a
holiday season, then I suggest you visit a Punch and Judy show.

Content-wise, they're on-a-par intellectually, have roughly the same educational
value, and I'm sure there's one at "Butlins Minehead" - a place which seems to
be popular with many of the cretins in this newsgroup.

In spite of the fact that Butlins went *way* out of fashion over 50 years ago
(because they were ****, and because commercial airliners became affordable to
the masses at around the same time) and are now frequented only by a very,
*very* poor social underclass of meatheads, you can still trust some of these
morons to keep on returning year after year.

The Con Party appear to be worried that hatred for Gordon Brown
doesn't mean more votes will be heading their way, and have began
making unwelcome overtures to the Lib Dems.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8432099.stm:

----- Begin Quote -----

The Liberal Democrats have rejected a claim by David Cameron that
there are now fewer policy differences between the two parties than in
the past.

In his new year message, the Tory leader said there was "a lot less
disagreement than there used to be" on how to create a fairer Britain.

But Lib Dem chief of staff Danny Alexander called the comments
"vacuous spin" that were "fooling nobody".

He said Mr Cameron appeared "confused" about the meaning of fairness.

The Conservatives have been making friendly overtures to the Liberal
Democrats in recent months, with some opinion polls suggesting a hung
Parliament the most likely outcome of next year's general election.

Brown was unelectable, even in his own party, fifteen years ago when
Labour sensibly chose Blair as leader.

That decision led to three election victories.

Brown’s only option of a route to power was therefore to eventually
seize power over the heads of the country and his own party.

He remains virtually untested in any election except in by-elections
where the results have been disastrous.

Brown was a turkey fifteen years ago so where does that leave him now.
The electorate hates him finding anyone, apart from diehards, prepared
to vote for another five years of Brown is like finding rocking horse
****.

Labour sleepwalked into this situation, on the back of their
disillusion with Blair, and, consequently, unless they deal with the
Brown problem, with all and more of the ruthlessness he applied in
gaining power, they will surely destroy themselves.

The issue for Labour now is survival as a party, a contained defeat
rather than the annihilation Brown will surely bring.

Ask any Tory what worries them most and for sure it’s Labour getting
rid of Brown.

Everything Brown touches goes wrong, often by the poisonous baggage he
leaves everywhere behind him, mostly by design (he's an idiot) and
sometimes even because he’s just a jinx that gets the sort of luck he
largely deserves for a treacherous political life lived entirely by
the sword.

Yes, it is no worse than others.

Current headlines at

They did those for about sixteen years from c. 1992 to 2008.

Much of what you wrote contains some truth, but the above is quite
inaccurate. The recent Glasgow by-election gave his candidate a
surprisingly large majority, because his supporters largely went out
to vote and the opposition didn't bother.

The same thing could possibly happen in the GE unless the opposition
parties can get their voters to abandon their inertia and actually go
out to vote. Brown *could* get in due an exceptionally low turnout,
which would be the worst of all possible worlds.
