you see that clip of Brown speaking in the US?

it's pretty scary. He certainly isnt' speaking for me.

All he did was reconfirm the excellent partnership between the two countries.  AND NO POWER ON EARTH CAN DESTROY IT!

It seemed kind of desperate in a way that didn't happen with Blair, as, like all good con-men, Blair believed his own story.

What is scary about it? It is just the usual political rhetoric.

lol! I think it's the sense of near desperation which Lethe pointed out, that didn't seem usual at all. I know he wanted to make a strong impression but it almost sounded like he was pleading. I guess it's all those years of being Blair's bitch that makes him want to be the US's now  ::)

He is not a great speech maker, he often hits the wrong note. Those words said in a different way might have produced a different, though no more favourable, reaction. He has a tendency to over emphasise and that was always evident when he was Chancellor. The Big Clunking Fist. But it was just what I said it was, nothing different. I am never clear who this guff is really for. It certainly was not scary.

Well it certainly was scary if you don't want to be tied to someone you feel is running out of control. Unfortunately the UK doesn't really have a leader right now and it certainly doesn't have a leader in waiting. We're a country of bitches :(

lol! It's not a nice thing to admit, but when your government is taking on record amounts of debt and starting to print ridiculous amounts of money all without having any resources (no gold, soon no oil) or anything to sell, then basically you're a bitch. It's unfortunate but true.

knight66

What is the definition of a bitch in your context? How are you acting now you are a bitch?

ezodisy

my definition is of course the same definition as that known from building sights to top level offices -- one who serves another. That is precisely what the UK will become as it relies on everyone else around it for everything from food to clothes to cars and everything else. The one saving grace we had--not joining the Euro--is more or less debased now as we switch on the printing press. Anyway whatever. I am not here to tell English people what they're becoming. They'll see it for themselves as we become hopelessly dependent over the next 10 years.

'Sausage-pony' prompts 999 calls

:D



Mayflower, a pony with short legs and a long body has caused numerous people to call the emergency services in the mistaken belief she is stuck in the mud.  Her owner is now considering erecting signs advising passers-by.  Rescue specialist Anton Phillips said Mayflower could appear to be stuck in mud as she was half the height of other nearby ponies.  "We have been called out several times for the animal now and it is getting a bit ridiculous."  :D
