Gordon Brown for Prime Minister ..... Not!

In just over 3 weeks we will know who our new Prime Minister will be. God forbid it be the current incumbent of No 10 Downing Street the wonderfully charismatic Gordon Brown.....

James Gordon Brown was born in February 1951 so will be 60 next year and became Prime Minister by default in June 2007 taking over from the equally wonderful Tony Blair. He married his wife Sarah in 2000 at the age of 49 causing rumours that he only did so to make himself respectable and further avoid suggestions that he was homosexual.

Brown has a PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh but has seemingly learnt nothing from past historical failures. His blindness in one eye was caused at this time as a result of a kick to the head during a rugby match. His early career was spent working as a television journalist, but funnily enough didn’t make this a permanent career move. Brown has been an MP since 1983 for Scottish constituencies but prefers to run things from England. It may interest local readers that in the 1979 general election, he stood for the Edinburgh South constituency but lost to Conservative candidate, Michael Ancram.

After the sudden death of Labour leader John Smith in May 1994, Brown did not contest the leadership after Tony Blair became favourite and it has long been rumoured he struck a deal with Blair in which he agreed to give Brown control of economic policy in return for Brown not standing against him in the leadership election and this is thought to be the root of the private rifts between them.

As Shadow Chancellor, Brown worked to present himself as a fiscally competent Chancellor-in-waiting, to reassure business and the middle class that Labour could be trusted to run the economy and his subsequent term as Chancellor once Labour were elected was praised in some quarters but has by many been seen as the main cause of the problems which currently exist in Britain. Between 1999 and 2002 Brown sold 60% of the UK's gold reserves at $275 an ounce. After this there was an unprecedented rise in the gold price resulting in £2 billion of lost potential revenue (at 2007 gold prices). As a result, the period from 1999 to 2002, when gold prices were the lowest for 20 years, has been dubbed the Brown Bottom. On top of this Brown was reported to believe it appropriate to remove much of the third world debt therefore suggesting he was prepared to Britain’s financial burden even more.

Brown succeeded Blair as Prime Minister in June 2007 and on the day of the general election will have served almost 3 years in a position he was unelected for and has been totally unsuitable for having taken over from Blair the problems in Iraq and Afghanistan and been even more inclined to crawl up the backside of the warmongering American president’s Bush and Obama. On top of that the whole political structure has been brought into disrepute by the many financial scandals over the last few years, education and the health service have fallen towards those that might be expected of third world countries, more powers have been signed over to the European Union and just generally become the most despised Prime Minister I have ever known having ridden rough-shod over what is best for the British people pursuing his own left-wing agenda.

Should anyone feel that Gordon Brown has the right credentials for continuing as leader of this once great land I suggest the following videos which will hopefully help with your decision.

The first shows why you wouldn’t invite him to dinner



The second shows how sincere he can be......



and the third, how he is likely to react on 6th May



Goodbye Gordon, may we never hear from you again.
