Lost Count

Guido lost count of the number of times Gordon said "Britain" or "British". Don't think he mentioned Scotland once...

UPDATE :
The Fink makes a snappy point, Gordon "pledged that unless contract cleaners in hospitals meet the highest standards of cleanliness they will lose their contract. What's the procedure at the moment, then?"

71 times, according to Andrew Neal...

No, I think he did mention 'Scotland' in connection with the fact that the 'environment, crime, terrorism' didn't stop at these borders, and could be better dealt with at 'British' level rather than 'splitting up'.

But you may have access to a copy of the text soon [No 10 website ?]

Of course, I think it is disingenuous to make this push for 'British-ness' and the strength of Britain in saying no to 'asylum seekers' who have guns or sell drugs whilst at the same time doing nothing to put some distance between us and the European institutions who seem to wield such power over these decisions...

But it seemed well received in the conference hall - certainly far closer to the reception for Tony Blair than I believed possible.

But bloody hell, has Mandelson had his hair bleached ???

I counted no instances of the word 'referendum'...

All his talk of Britishness won't help him if he tries to go ahead without one.

mitch said...

Did he say he was getting with the job? I haven't heard it for a few hours and want to make sure he still is.

So when exactly was he NOT getting on with the job?

mitch said...

oops, first line should read 'Did he say he was getting on with the job?'

McCavity the cat said...

'Britishness, last refuge of a scounderel.'

After their poor performance against the All Blacks, would anyone expect him to refer to Scotland?

Did he mention how many times he's going to screw over England just like his predecessor? Got to keep those Scotch and Welsh votes happy.

Hail Gordon! He wants to rule 10 years just to repeat the disaster of the last 10 years. He's been the #2 in New Labour in the last 10 years, but trust him, he'll get it right this time.

Wanker!

Oi, McStalin, its GREAT BRITAIN to you. said...

Smug McStalin.

As with all politico's, he is relying on the fact that the "British" have always been evolution & not revolution.

I hope they are proved wrong.

I want Neo Labour heads on pikes at Traitors Gate for what they have done to Great Britian.

EU

Immigration

Islam

These are things I talk about in the pub with my hideously white, unfathomably British friends.

When will the main three parties wake up to the fact that we are going to vote for someone nasty unless they do something?

Pretty panties etc said...

So that’s it is it? NooLayba & Al Ja Beeba, and their odious bands of PC aparatchiks slither towards anyone and anything who might provide funding and diversion away from the real world.

Is Scotland still in Britain? The Scots don't seem to think so.

rimbo mcbumboy said...

Has Gay Gordon called an election yet or is he still teasing us, the wicked, wicked boy!!

Anonymous said...

His passions and priorities are clearly "rubbish rubbish rubbish"

Cassandra said...

When will Hazel Blears
a) tone down her hair colour restoration?
b) learn that the British dislike smug middle class people on the make who boast about working class roots but rather like self-deprecating toffs?

Was anyone stupid enough to believe a word Gordon Brown said?

rochdale ... 5:29

Dunno, I fell asleep during it. The tediousness of the clapping after every few words did it for me. I suspect if he had passed wind he would have been clapped.

It might come as a suprise to Gordo but there other things in like than the NHS.

In response to Gordon's 'promise' to chuck out immigrants who possess guns or drugs I have just two words..

Learco

and, er..

Chindamo...

abused rockinghorse said...

Before he talks about deep cleaning hospitals he needs to finish the job of deep cleaning himself.

gordon is a cunt said...

Has he really lost weight or has he switched to the 'slimline statesman' version fetish nappy

You probably think I've got a one track mind, don't you honey?

But you're wrong...I can hold a highly sophisticated conversation on other interesting topics too, you know.

So sweetheart...

What your tits like then?

John Trenchard said...

Brown also mentioned ID cards for foreign nationals - that means YOU Guido... unless you decide to stay in Dublin.

"Gordon "pledged that unless contract cleaners in hospitals meet the highest standards of cleanliness they will lose their contract. What's the procedure at the moment, then?""

Give him a chance, he's only been in this job for a few months...

Did you notice old Neil Kinnock shedding a tear during GB's drone. Listening to that crap I know how he felt.

Puke-making, oily bastard and thieving crook, Vaz; noisy crimson haired midget woman, escaped from the far reaches of pornoworld; vile, Welsh windbag and ubercunt, worthless fucking idle taffy tosspot sheepfucking, shit-eating, fucking class traitor fucking moron fucking imbecile cocksucker Lord if-you-fucking-please Neil I-Am-the-first-cunting-fucking-Kinnock-
in-a-thousand-fucking-years-to be-able-to-fucking-wipe-my-own-fucking-arse Kinnock of fucking Brussels; ludicrous great simpering pasty-faced snot eating mad fucking cyclops cunt wanker banging on about his fucking holier than fucking thou, fucking hypofuckingcrite sanctifuckingmonious, selffucking righteous fucking sermonisising cunt of a father, banging on about his moral fucking compass, and about how he, this fucking degenerate, sperm and mucus-stained nail-bitten, freakshow deformity, actually personified everything that is good and special about Britain. The ghasty cunt who was Brown senior spent his entire life, whilst others were working, doing proper, productive jobs, rehearsing ways to chide and frighten and shame his neighbours, whilst taxing them and looking down on them. His cunt of a nancyboy freak son does the same and the people applaud. I am a cunt of the manse, he smirks, that's the kind of cunt I am. I am a holy kind of cunt. I am a conviction cunt. Ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Stanislav has found it very very trying day. Can someone please make all go away.

ps Stanislav father priest also; can be prime minister, yes? Promise not spend all day in masturbate, promise not eat snot in front of entire world population, promise to count houseprice and counciltaxing in inflation scripture; promise not become photograph in nappy.

In my country ten more years of this fucking weirdo make revolution, streets run with blood, whole NewLabourProject whole Fleet Street, whole BBC be: up against the wall motherfuckers, spare no-one, kill all, eat shit and die, feed bodies to pigs, stick heads on railings.. In UK, instead of make revolution, watch football.

english democrat said...

The EU commisars have ordered Gordon Brown to drop the term "great" from Britain as it does not fit in with the coming EU superstate! The word "great" diminishes the greater socialist EU reich in the making! Britain is to become a minor region of france so the term "great" is to be erased from history!
You think I an joking?

Shropshire Lad said...

Unsurprisingly GB did not mention the West Lothian question. When can the English electorate expect the Scottish Carpet Baggers, and I am thinking of the likes of Alistair Darling and numerous others like those chippy Labour MP's on the Treasury Comittee, to be kicked back over the Border where they belong?

Olaf said...

He didn't mention Scotland coz he's fucked up here. Salmond has his finger more closely on the pulse of the proles then Gordo ever did.

Salmond is still a prick though.

Shropshire Lad said...

Salmond's a good guy - for the Scots! - wish we had someone like him fighting for English rights.

simon said...

This is where the Conservatives have got it wrong on emphasis. The party is effectively 'fooked' in Scotland and Wales and a GenElec is becoming more English based- after all other 'nations' in the UK have their own politburo's. It makes me sick that we have not got an English Alex Salmond. He may be a grade 1 bullshitter- but by eck, he fights for his corner, and is relatively sane/sincere compared to most MP's. Brown dares not mention his Scottish background- a total cowardly hypocrite- and goes on about 'Britishness' all the time. I fail to see a time when an ENGLISH person becomes First Minister of Scotland!!!

Genghis pinko-khan said...

I think Stanislav the Confused Young Pole should be placed on Camerson' 'A' List immediately.

none so blind as those who choose not to see said...

Some think that an English parliament is a good idea and the only way to save our libertarian values from being swamped in a vast sea of Fascist corporate EU despotism.

And they may very well be right. Although please remember you no longer have a right to try to make it happen.

Post Civil Contingencies Act you will risk your liberty your business and your personal property in order to protest effectively in favor of anything the government decides it does not like.

You are in reality buggered and there is sod all you or me can do about it.

This continual rise and rise of democratic Fascism in of all places the UK, is as scary here now as it must have been in 1930's Berlin.

english democrat said...

Stanislav for presidente!

Just the kind of immigrant Gordon Brown is looking to attract to our great and glorious country!
