Another embarrassment for Brown by President of Chile

Yet another embarrassment for Winky
Chile's Socialist President Michelle Bachelet has told Gordon Brown that her country put aside money in the good times in order to spend in the bad.
It is a boast with uncanny echoes of exactly what David Cameron says Britain should have done but did not.

Somehow you just know he did his stupid smirk/false smile when she came out with that gem!

Amazingly 'more' editorial attention from the BBC, not trying to sweep this under the carpet just yet

He's dooooomed.
How sad, he waited 10 years for a job then discovered he was not only p**s poor in his old job but even worse in the new one.... No, really, it's sad..... No honest, stop laughing there at the back.... (well, I would be laughing if it wasn't the entire country he's managed to f**k up).

We all know people who have been over promoted in their jobs.How sad, he waited 10 years for a job then discovered he was not only p**s poor in his old job but even worse in the new one....

Gordon is just another in a long line of people who have had their dreams smashed by the reality of their incompetence.
Sad, but also very funny. (well, it would be if I wasn't British anyway)
And the person that made this comment is a friend/admirer of Winky's ffs he's making the country a laughing stock; this G20 meeting he's hosting is going to be deeply embarrassing as well I fear. Oh no, I forgot, he's single-handedly "saved the world" hasn't he (his words) he really has become a megalomaniac control freak incompetent. You would think the Labour Party would do something about it but who the hell's gonna want the job at the moment???

This was corroborated by the Financial Times earlier this week:How sad, he waited 10 years for a job then discovered he was not only p**s poor in his old job but even worse in the new one....

Financial Times said:
In the annals of a nation that has prided itself on keeping tabs on government debt since shortly after the Glorious Revolution in 1688, the state has never needed to borrow as much money. According to the Ernst & Young Item club, in the two years 2009-10 and 2010-11, the government will probably have to raise £350bn.
That is more debt bequeathed to its successor than the total borrowed by successive rulers and governments of Britain between 1691 and 1997, the year Labour was elected.

Soros says we "may" need IMF funding........he's hardly saying anything we don't already know, but it is interesting that the media are publishing more and more of these.
When the media begins to turn, that's when we know it's the beginning of the end for a gov't. The Times and the Sun are simply too powerful to be ignored.
Murdoch should move into Warwick castle....seems appropriate!

Also, in today's Times (I know it's by Paris, who is a Tory, but nonetheless):
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnist...
"I've just read one of the worst speeches by a British prime minister it's been my misfortune to encounter in 40 years following politics. Wilson had folksy evasiveness; Heath, wooden principle; Thatcher, tin-eared persistence; Blair, slimy charm. In every case you could tell why they'd got the job, even when you hated what they were doing with it.
But this? This hole in the air encased in a suit of clunking verbal armour? This truck-load of clichéd grandiloquence in hopeless pursuit of anything that might count as the faintest apology for an idea? Words fail me.
They certainly failed Gordon Brown, addressing the European Parliament this week. No wonder everybody's now watching the MEP Daniel Hannan's riposte, uploaded on to YouTube - for the sheer, blessed relief of finding anyone still standing as the grey ash came bucketing down. "
