Gordon Brown

[Farriercm]

Just watched Gordon brown making his speech on the Scottish referendum,
Best speech he has ever made he was first class, Brilliant.

[Baldric]

Not seen it, do you have a link?

[-Talbot-]

I didn't want to start another thread about (shhh, you know what)

But I agree 100% fantastic performance.

[ludwig]

I bet you're him.

[wolf63]

I like him - but not many people do.

[New Judge]

Pity he was not so brilliant during his spell as Chancellor and Prime Minister of the UK.

[ChillDoubt]

Have to say I'd always seen him as a bit wishy-washy but after that performance I remarked to myself "If only he'd appeared as passionate when he was PM!".

It was quite some impassioned delivery to be fair to him.

[janbee]

True, Farrier. Excellent speech.

[janbee]

Wolf, I like him too. Never used to but he's certainly grown on me. That speech today was wonderful. Full of fire and passion and TRUTH !!

[DTCwordfan]

Psybbs loves him too.....

Apparently it was much the same speech he has been giving on the stump for a week or more, but only in the last 24 hours has he been getting a wide television audience.

Well done Mr Brown, well done ......

[mikey4444]

Quite agree...a real barn-stormer...well done Gordon ( did I just say that ? )

"The risks of the known:
An economic minefield where problems COULD implode at any time.
An trapdoor down which we go and from which we MIGHT never escape."

Yep, he's got all the answers right enough! :-)

[vetuste_ennemi]

"What history, culture and a glorious intellectual tradition have joined together, let no man put asunder". I paraphrase slightly, but that's good for Brown. Never expected that from a bean counter.

[wolf63]

jeffa ~ "An trapdoor down "

should that not be "A trapdoor"?

[jeffa]

No, it should be "An economic trapdoor".

[Farriercm]

He certainly did better than Alister Darling,and I bet it took that awful smirk off the face of the self proclaimed King of Scotland Salmond.

[wolf63]

I met Mr Darling once and he seemed a bit pathetic and not at all genuine. I have been known to vote Tory so it wasn't a political bias.

I don't know why anybody would want to be a politician - no matter what you do or how hard you work there are millions of 'back seat drivers' watching.
