Gordon Does Fluffy Showbiz Politics
At the close of the Blair era the Mirror was reporting "Gordon slams Cameron for 'fluffy' showbiz politics". With the passing of Tony we were told we would see an end to all that showbiz glitz of the star-struck Blairs. No more holidays at Cliff's place in Barbados, no more "Am I bovvered" comedy sketches from this PM.
Now Gordon is 8% behind in the polls. So is he doing hard-hitting interviews setting out his vision? No. Apart from the fellatio-interview with Andy Marr he has only been seen on GMTV, the soft-centred yolk of a breakfast show. Where, with a fine sense of priorities, the producers actually bumped him from the 8.00 a.m. prime slot to earlier when they got Heather Mills on live.
So Guido was not entirely surprised when the Brownies had a change of plan. Imagine the brainstorming at No. 10:
The resulting bizarre official Downing Street video is up on GuyNews.TV.
He is having what seems to be a slightly scary, Prozac-induced episode. The bouncing grin on his face as he congratulates Des Lynam, Carol Vorderman and posthumously Richard Whitely and Kenneth Williams is just odd.
So much for ending fluffy showbiz politics...

McSnide : Gordon you need to connect more with GMTV and Daytime TV viewers.
Konrad (pours tea) : My grandma loves Countdown on channel 4. You know she will have been watching it for 25 years now.
McSnide : Brilliant, lets do a tribute to Countdown's 25 years of consonants and vowels and their contribution to British spelling.
Konrad : Don't forget Carol Vorderman's contribution to budgetary understanding.

So obvious the autocue is nowhere near the camera. Cringing...
It was also shown during the Countdown anniversary special last week. (All the other pre-recorded videos included the guest selecting vowels and consonants, but Gordon probably didn't understand how the game works.)
Flippin 'eck!!!
There was an anon commenter on this blog a few months ago, a medic I think, who saw death in Tony Blair's eyes (the grey rings round the pupils if I recall) - can this same chap be asked to pronounce on the mental health of the new PM?
I'd prepared a post before I'd seen the video. Now I have seen it I'm just fucking speechless.
That forced smile is just...creepy.
What the fuck?
AUTOCUE "blah blah blah (smile), blah blah blah (smil again), blah blah blah (smile very broadly), blah blah blah"
Whaaaat?? Tighten the leather straps on this man's cot.
Truly bizarre.....
Brown, the new Kennedy(JF, gives a towering performance and you ignorant biased folk fail the appreciate this political Gielgud who is giving his all for his country. Truly a profile in courage.
I fucking hate Gordon Brown.
Bhown baby
..giving his all..
how can I to help?
It's possible that, in private, Mr Brown is a warm, charming and utterly munificent host and that, for once, this carefully guarded persona has leaked out into the public domain.
;-)
thats a spoof. asif he would ever do that
But if Brown really watched Countdown, he'd actually be good with numbers.
I think this is the final straw... its fate Guido... can you please blow up no10 tonight? Please, the fat smug idiot deserves it...
That Alistair McGowan's brilliant. You'd really think...
..and why is the video "no longer available" (@ 18:40 GMT)????
It was truely dreadful. Can you imagine Atlee going on TV and saying the same ! It even made Blair and the Am I bovered sketch look normal !

This is awful. It should be required viewing for all Labour party members. It should remind them of what they lost when they ousted Blair. It's OK saying I don't do celebrity, I am serious but Brown doesn't even do human. He is not normal and he doesn't look normal either.
Fluffy politics or not, I object to Brown being given space in my newspaper to write about men of courage.Ignoring the fact that he can't even write it himself....he uses a ghost writer, it is obscene that a coward like bottler brown has the temerity to write about brave and courageous men. Brown was a coward in his dealings with Blair (a brave man would have resigned his post and fought from the back benches) and since becoming the second-hand prime minister, he has showed ever more examples of cowardice.
McCavity, the ever disappearing cheshire cat.
I have bought the Telegraph for over 30 years. Don't profess to understand why it is suddenly following the Mail and giving Bopwn a sympathetic hearing. As far as I am concerned enough is enough. There is no longer a daily newspaper that represents what I believe in. I have bought my last Telegraph!I have bought my last daily.
Brownbadger...
I am sorry that you have taken such objection to my showing a little compassion for Gordon's literary outpourings, but we have been warned that Gordon is really close to the edge. We don't wish to push him over.....not a British Prime Minister.
Please don't stop buying your Telegraph.......our policy is short-lived.....its just to get Gordon over the difficulty he is in at the moment. If he cracks....well, you know it will be PM Balls and Mrs Balls. After 10 years of the Blairs I couldn't stand a repeatof that duo. Say you understand, please!
Happy reading!

No...this smile is not creepy, its origination has a perfectly reasonable explication...note the gasp halfway through and the subject's supreme efforts to suppress a mounting sense of excitement at the thought of Carol Vorderman's inspirational educational attributes. Gordon Brown's aides should be heartily congratulated on their devotion to duty - the manner in which they have pumped up and maintained this manic depressive's mood is most admirable. Naturally, I would single out Ed Balls for a special accolade, since he was inevitably the poor sod who was detailed to crouch down out of camera shot and oil the departmental machinery with his smackers sealed around the sticky succulence of a well-varnished and primed ministerial cock.
The more I see of that repulsive cunt Brown the more I hate the stinking bastard.
Gordon is pushing us over the edge with his U turns,flip flops,its off no its ons,Its a tax cut no its a rise,a strong economy but a run on a bank,we love muslims but we are killing em,
Do you get the picture ? the man cant make a decision to save his life.
I wont watch the video because I dont want to be sick.
"the producers actually bumped him from the 8.00 a.m. prime slot to earlier when they got Heather Mills on live"
So they bumped the Creep Show for the Freak Show?
WORRYING )+:
Short of the men in white coats being wheeled out, we won't have an election until 2010 - but we are going to be treated to 30 months of outstanding comedey.... if you don't mind the fact that our great nation is going down the pan in the process. Thanks, New Labour. Fine effort.
Cheerio....
If you're the Editor of the Telegraph then I'm a New York Taxi Driver.
'Not the nine o'clock news' did that sketch years ago!
All the speaker had to do for acclaim was mention a celeb's name and the audience would shriek with laughter and clap and stamp their feet uncontrollably!
This is awful, and as for sincerity - forget it!
I heard Rory Bremner on Five News earlier say that Brown and Blair's relationship was like Brokeback Mountain. Wasn't that a film about a couple of arsebandits?
Rory'll be doing Brown in a nappy riding a rocking horse next.
Brown's wife usually does some sob story piece in the Daily Mail when Gay Gordon's in trouble. For example after the election than never was and Gay Gordon's declining poll ratings we get from the Mail :
Brown's wife reveals heartbreak of losing their baby daughter
Fuck me, that was bad. What's worse I reckon Brown is nuts.
His smile was a "wanna see my puppies" kinda smile....
Gordon 8% behind in the polls, which poll?
Times tomorrow Gordon 1% ahead!
Polls hey!!
Brown has lost 1 million small enterprisers votes with his raid on them via Capital gains hikes. Who said he has a vision?
I had to go on the PM's website to make sure this wasn't a spoof. When I saw it there I couldn't believe it.... this man has the most unnatural smile I have ever seen.
Brown,a second-hand "author" of second hand stories.How's that for our second-hand prime minister....but the seconds are ticking away.
Look on the bright side - at least this demented fucker hasn't yet sullied Barbados with his grislyness. We've had the cunt Blair with letter-box gob freeloading on a monthly basis, and the fat secretary-stuffer and noted waiter Prescuntt swanning about all the best restaurants with his entourage (at your expense) on his worldwide farewell tour (yippee).
I truly think the vision of Bravery Broon and his tree-stump legged beard stripping off to their beach baggies would put the final nail in the coffin of the contention that Barbados is an up market destination. Please stay the fuck away, you gay one-eyed snot-gobbling mad moronic creep.

I hate it when people hold back instead of saying what they really mean. Spit it out, man.
