Gordon Brown, taxes for fun
Wages down, out my money runs
Throughout the night
No cash in sight
Never a pound with Gordon Brown

Every time just like the last
One budget tied to the past
Two distant lands
Take both his hands
Never a pound with Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown's economy tests
Do they show he thinks he knows best?
10p will stay;
Stay well away!
Never a pound with Gordon Brown

Never a, never a, never a pound
With Gordon, with Gordon Brown...

£5million we've pleged to burma
£5million.

and they are getting all that free food.

where's my free food mr brown? i pay my taxes for the UK not to help a secretive military junta.
( Thor_sonofodin https://twitter.com/Thor_sonofodin, Wed 7 May 2008, 10:59, archived)

I hate to sound like an apologist for the government...
...but for a start that money will be from an already set-aside aid budget for the department for international development

I'm also pretty sure that they'll do everything possible to make sure that it goes to helping the people who need it and not into the pockets of the Junta.

Also if you think about it, £5m is an extraordinarily tiny fraction of total government spending.

I wouldn't say that's the thing to get in a fuss over :)

I suspect there will be plenty of mud-slinging
because Britain has only pledged 5 mil.
( Wasp Box is your next PM, Wed 7 May 2008, 11:14, archived)

Probably
But at the same time they'll be wary of spending more because of the endemic corruption over there.

The last thing Britain wants to do is be seen to end up funding the Junta there

It could well be a situation that illustrates Brown's entire position
Whatever he does, he can't win
( Wasp Box is your next PM, Wed 7 May 2008, 11:21, archived)

Well yes
fair point
( Mushroom, Wed 7 May 2008, 11:26, archived)

yep, it's a whole 30 minutes' funding for the NHS

( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Wed 7 May 2008, 11:15, archived)

yes, i'm sure they will do everything to reach those at need
but it doesn't mean that somewhere along the lines things might go awry.

and i know the government makes that amount from fuel duty in about 5 minutes, i'm just having a rant for rants sake.

i'm glad that we(britan) still call it burma, and don't recognise mynmar as a country. even though translated both words mean sort of the same thing.

this doesn't bother me as they've had a recent biblical style disaster
what FUCKS ME OFF COMPLETELY is that we have donated money to china and india

if they can afford nuclear weapons and fucking space ships they don't need our money

He needs to go.
He brings a whole new meaning to the word "pathetic".

He brings into sharp focus how tightly Blair ran the ship - good or bad no one messed about with him and he didn't take shit.

Everyone hated Thatcher, but Major was a waste of space
Everyone hated Blair, but Brown's a waste of space

Why do only cunts seem capable of running the country?
( Mushroom, Wed 7 May 2008, 10:52, archived)

it's only the cunts
who have the desire to run a country.

the people who should be running the country probably don't want to

I guess it doesn't help that in our system
you can only get into a position of power by removing yourself from any connection to reality

Douglas Adams was a philosopher
"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it...
anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
( Mushroom, Wed 7 May 2008, 11:00, archived)

Except, if this is your explanation for Major being crap, lack of enthusiasm,
it would also appear that the people who should be running the country but don't want to be running the country really shouldn't be. In conclusion, balls.

Because there are a lot of cunts in the UK
So it needs a massive cunt to keep the others in check.

Old Chinese Proverb says...
...that those who are clever enough to run a country are also clever enough to stay well away from politics. Hence we always get 2nd choice people running tings.

I'm with Bill Hicks.
