Gordon Brown wishes he knew David Cameron better
Quote of the weekend: apart from his ludicrous suggestion that the Tory tax break for commitment is ‘taking money away from children’*, the best line from Gordon Brown’s Sunday Times interview is about David Cameron. Remember, Mr Brown is from the Labour tradition for which consorting with the enemy is anathema. Asked if there is anything about Mr Cameron he admires, he says: “I don’t know him as a human.” It’s an arresting phrase, but this is how he sees Conservatives: as less than human.

But do sociopaths really ever know someone as a human?
-
Gordon Brown has taken thousands of pounds away from my children. No other bar steward has taken anywhere near as much of my hard earned as has the clown Brown.
If any of you see him, please pass on that message from me.

In a few short days we will all have a chance to terminate this ghastly man’s ruinous hold over this country.
-
Is Clown human? Some sort of primitive primate possibly, but no closer to humanity than anything you would find caged in Regent’s Park. Caged is what he should be, the lying scumbag – 10 years minimum at HM’s pleasure, and mine.
-
Irony from Clown? I recall NuLabour’s very first act of political spite and class politics was to abolish assisted places, ensuring our brightest children were left in ‘bog standard’ comprehensives. Labour took away the future of so many.

What a peculiar turn of phrase ‘ I don’t know him as a human.’ Any normal person would say ‘I don’t know the man very well.’
Whilst doing one of his stage-managed ‘meet the people’ campaign visits earlier this week he said to a Supermarket employee ‘So you sell all kinds of things here then?’ What normal person would come out with a question like that in Asda/Tesco/Sainsbury?
What IS it about Gordon Brown? Why doesn’t he talk like normal people?; why can’t he hold a normal conversation? There really is something very peculiar about him.
Still it shouldn’t be too long until we find out now. I expect the post-election memoires from various Labour people will be illuminating and what Campbell meant by ‘psychologically flawed’ will become very clear.

‘10 years minimum at HM’s pleasure, and mine.’
OR
The French idea of ‘poetic justice’ that they doled out in Revolutionary France. In this case Gordon Brown could be given a few quid and some food and dropped out of a plane over Africa – Somalia or somewhere nice and exotic would be ideal. Give him a parachute even.
Then, justice will take its course – if he is correct about mass, uncontrolled immigration and they’re all lovely people and well worth giving passports to without vetting then all well and good; if on the other hand they decide they don’t like him then that would be poetic. Sort of Black Hawk Down poetic.
In fact we should have a variety of poetic solutions come the Revolution.
Mandy could be dropped over Iran wearing pink Speedos to see what they’d make of him. Harriet Harman could be dropped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan or Leeds.
You get the picture.
:-)
Any ideas more than welcome.

pondy, instead of the parachute, just blow helium up his ass until he floats, and see if he can hold it in until he reaches terra firma. Give him some senna pods too!

Give him a giant nappy and senna and let him go off the end of a aircraft carrier.
Who knows, he might touch down somewhere that the natives will worship him… and no, Govt, not Glasgow East!

Brown lives in his own head. In there only two rules exist. 1. He is always right. 2. If wrong, rule 1 applies.
-
I don’t know him as a human’ – pathetic phrase.
Brown does not know anyone as a human otherwise he would not be going round telling people that if you vote Tory you will die of cancer.
Brown does not live on the same planet as the rest of us – thats why he does not know Cameron as a human.
-
I guess he’ll have plenty of time to get to know him in a few weeks.
-
It’s an arresting phrase, but this is how he sees Conservatives: as less than human
All humanity sees Conservatives as less than human’ except of course Conservatives who see themselves as Superhuman.
There is a lot of evidence to support the former view and none the latter.

@ Duckham:
“All humanity sees Conservatives as less than human except of course Conservatives who see themselves as Superhuman.”Us badgers see them as pale blue EUrobitches, a little less awful than the pale pink EUrobitches.
