Superb resignation speech by Brown

[Uncle Spielberg]

Fair play. A great final speech. Good luck in the future.

 

[vulture]

agree

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I have always thought Brown is a decent Man I just disagree with his policies.

 

[Wilko]

It was wasn't it? I think it was a very dignified conclusion.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Went off in a good light.

 

[Wilko]

I think he is a decent man, his policies are decent too but he just did not have the right 'look'. In a society where politics seems to be more about the person and less about the policies he always seemed to be on to a loser.

[Starry]

good speech, clever to walk out with the wife and kids and leave with a positive image. i can't stand him politically, glad to see him go.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

He did have a shitty stick to deal with when Blair swanned off.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

It was all rather moving but its for the best.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

I missed it damn it. Got bored waiting and turned over, oops

 

[The Wizard]

Comeback Gordon, all is forgiven.

 

[Mendoza]

I can't believe how quick the change over ceremonies are considering the importance of the job on the line

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Gareth, as I said on the other thread, I echo your sentiments entirely.

I think he is a decent man, his policies are decent too but he just did not have the right 'look'. In a society where politics seems to be more about the person and less about the policies he always seemed to be on to a loser.

Agreed.

 

[Starry]

be interesting to see what cameron says first after all this.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I think Cameron has conducted himself well since the election to be fair.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Fair play. A great final speech. Good luck in the future.

Beautifully put Unc'. I bet he'll be very glad he's shot of it all by tomorrow.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Just seen it, it was a good way to end it. Thank you Gordon and goodbye

Hopefully a variant of Father Ted's speech when he won the Golden Priest award. "So, Toby Fotherinton-Fanshawe. You laughed at me when you were shoving crumpets between my buttocks on Fag-Torturing Thursday, but who's laughing now, eh? Eh?"
