Thinking requires a good vocabulary and Brown is clearly demonstrating that he does not possess a sufficirent vocblulary for the work in hand, and<br /><br />2 Brown is not the person to restore the British economy. No one person will be able to clear up this mess by themselves. Whoever sets out to clean the Augean Stables that Brown has made of the Britis economy, they will need to engage the help of others and this requires certain social and interpersonal skills which are obviously absent in one who swears at aides while naked in their hotel room.ukFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473623388187408837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-16310704777564078962010-02-18T20:56:11.056+00:002010-02-18T20:56:11.056+00:00Gordon Brown in the nude.

One of the more surprising things is that he says Brown briefed against PFI, which he himself introduced! Once it was clear that PFI had been a huge mistake he tried to make out that it was all down to Blair.<br /><br />We are still to hear from the Tories on what they intend to do about the vast £250 billion commitment taxpayers have made to the banks to "reward" them for all their hard "efforts" in loaning money to the heavily stitched-up-in-their-favour PFI schemes. At the moment, our children and our children's children will be paying through the nose for something that could have been done for about a tenth of the price by normal means. All so that Brown could argue he was cutting the deficit.DespairingLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903904463236135611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-9330284892788144402010-02-18T07:58:08.557+00:002010-02-18T07:58:08.557+00:00I do not know what is the worst aspect of this sto...I do not know what is the worst aspect of this story, the words,allegedly,used by our Prime Minister or the fact that was, allegedly, naked!<br /><br />Perhaps he was doing an Ashley and sending photographs to someone?strapworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228784526399929300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-57380814733944191022010-02-18T00:34:11.220+00:002010-02-18T00:34:11.220+00:00But of COURSE Brown is naked.

Always says his pleases and thankyous.

Eh??<br /><br />If you know for a fact that this allegation does appear in the book, then it's presumably passed Rawnsley's fairly high journalistic tests of accuracy, so it seems fair enough for you to report it in advance.<br /><br />If, however, it doesn't appear - which you seem to think is a possibility - then it presumably didn't pass Rawnsley's tests and he didn't think it was true. <br /><br />In which case, haven't you just published a fairly serious, probably inaccurate smear about Gordon Brown and one of his advisers? <br /><br />You imply that's fair enough because there are so many of these incidents in the public domain that it can't be a coincidence, but does that really excuse you putting into the public domain one such 'incident' which you admit may not be true, and which "may not" even be in Rawnsley's book?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992642534959935647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-54819591836904610552010-02-17T19:23:01.855+00:002010-02-17T19:23:01.855+00:00Wow, Gordon Brown swears.
