GORGON McBROWNEYE - REALITY STARTS TO SET IN

GENERAL ELECTION 2010: GORDON BROWN ADMITS,   'I COULD WALK’

GORDON Brown last night hinted for the first time that he may quit if Labour fails to win a Commons majority at the General Election.

As a clutch of opinion polls put Labour into a humiliating third place, the Prime Minister appeared to suggest he might be ready to stand aside. “I’m only here because I want to make a difference,” he said.“ If I cannot make a difference, I go.” His admission of vulnerability followed a warning from Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg that working with Brown in a Lib-Lab pact might prove “difficult”. 

Westminster insiders believe negotiations in a hung Parliament could mean Mr Brown may have to go so a deal can be made between Mr Clegg and a new Labour leader such as David Miliband. Brown yesterday suggested Labour and the Lib Dems could work together in a “progressive alliance”, but his coded olive branch was rejected by Clegg, who said: “I think there is something frankly desperate about the Labour Party and Gordon Brown.” 

Some Labour ministers were understood to be furious with Brown for making conciliatory gestures towards the Lib Dems, effectively conceding that their party had given up hope of winning an outright majority in the Commons.

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne yesterday mocked the Labour collapse, saying: “The real story of this election has been the disintegration of the Labour campaign.” Osborne said the Prime Minister had been reduced to “pathetically pleading for his job in public”, and compared Labour’s faltering campaign with its collapse against Margaret Thatcher in 1983. “We are not far from a Michael Foot moment, where the Labour party holds a press conference to say Gordon Brown is still the leader of the party,” he added.

Labour insiders complain that the campaign team is struggling to make any decisions because officials are cowed by the Prime Minister. They are used to Gordon Brown rubbishing any suggestions that are not his own.

STORY FROM THE DAILY EXPRESS

These are the comments so far and, I must say, I couldn't have put it better myself - in fact, a few of us bloggers have already been saying just this.....

 

HE'LL GO - KICKING AND SCREAMING!

22.04.10, 12:21am

Brown has cherished the post of PM for as long as he can remember and won't give up the job he is so obviously unsuited for without one hell of a struggle.

He'll need to be dragged out of Downing Street kicking and screaming, and quite probably in a strait-jacket on his way to a secure unit.

Labour will probably come third in the election, but he'll hang on for days, if not weeks, trying desperately to cobble together an alliance with anyone who'll give him the time of day.

Whatever 'suits' remain in a humiliated and defeated Labour Party, will need to read Brown his horoscope a few times before it will sink in that the game's up!

By the end of May he won't even by Labour Leader, let alone PM. But for the time being everything is probably as bright and sunny on 'Planet Brown' as the ridiculous pseudo-Marxist image on the front of their latest work of fiction.

He's certainly earned his place in history. A man who's almost bankrupted Britain and left us with a debt mountain which will take a generation or more to pay off. He'll be held up as a figure of ridicule for the rest of his life - and quite possibly for a few decades afterwards.

OF COURSE HE'LL GO ...........................

Straight into a cushy high paid euro-job to line his pockets.

After all, he's got to recoup the expenses he had to repay. Maybe he'll start a cleaning job - lol.

Bye bye and good riddance McDoom.

“If I cannot make a difference, I go.”  (CUNT!)

He's been "making a difference" for thirteen fucking years and he's turned Britain from being the best place in the world to live into a paranoid, oppressive, socialist basket case - that's the sort of "difference" we can do without, fuck you very much! If you can no longer "make a difference" that's a triumph the rest of us will celebrate, you communist cunt!

Nothing really left for me to say that these guys haven't said already - I get the feeling they read a lot of blogs - reading Stuart's comment is just like reading one of my own rants!
