At a meeting at Swindon steam museam this morning,I am sure I heard 
Brown tell a meeting of pensioners and others concerned about fuel 
costs, that "the things we have done have brought down oil prices". 
Surely everyone knows that it is the global economic downturn that has 
brought oil prices down, and not Gordon Brown. Did anyone else hear him 
say that? Were my ears deceiving me?

He is also responsible for the rising Sun in the mornings.

In truth an incompetent buffoon as nearly all politicians are.
If he had an iota of real intelligence he'd have stopped the 125%
mortgage nonsense when he was Chancellor. Of course, again as ALL
politicians, he takes NO responsibility for that - or indeed anything.

Can anyone think of another job in the world which has so much power,
needs no qualifications and demands no responsibility! Well I can't.
"Honorable members" - bullocks!

No your ears are working fine.
....and think about it, Brown wasn't really lying.
The economy's fucked.....Brown is culpable.
Oil price falls on the back on reduced demand...
So from one perspective, he has indeed caused the oil prices to fall ...lol
(although the bastards at OPEC are apparently having meeting to discuss
reducing supply so the price is pushed back up!!!)


And once the housing bubble has fully deflated, and prices are rock bottom!!
Brown will also be taking the credit for enabling more 1st time buyers to
buy houses.

But the BBC New Liebour mouthpiece and the New Liebour faithful lap up 
this kind of bullshit, which is why he repeats it. A lie repeated often 
enough by New Liebour becomes the truth, especially with the compulsory 
tax of the the BBC might behind it.

Perhaps the greatest confidence financial scam of all time. Persuading
the voting population that a bubble akin to the South Sea bubble or
the Great Tulip mania were nothing to do with him as Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Head of the Bank Regulators etc etc and he now is managing
to persuade us that using our money he is going to save us from his
own mismanagement. No doubt like the taxation of pension funds etc etc
he will find a way to embezzle money from ordinary people whilst
claiming to reduce taxes.  The matter also says a lot about the
Conservative party who appear to be spineless and frightened by the
whole matter.

    Maybe the tories are playing a long game, giving him enough rope and 
time to disintegrate. Either that or they are like rabbits caught in 
headlights.

1)they've offered support if he does the right things....
2)it's the clown's problem...if he doesn't like it he can
     do the honorable thing.....and go....
