Brown on Radio 1 now

[DonkeyApple]

I suspect he left that building with a plan to re-visit his Anti Bullying Charter after getting smacked around by a bunch of kids.

i heard this yesterday.. totally brilliant.

They had him on the rack so many times just needed to deliver that killer blow.

I was hoping they would bring up not the thousands of immigrants from outside the EU being on the point system etc, yeh great gordon. but the fking st loads of them that have come in from the EU.. yes yes yes we have our workers going overseas too but the majority of them are high - middle income earners, not our great unwashed going to poland to work in pizza express.

thats what i wanted to shout at him.

This is genius!

I only heard a clip where he said "I have to live in Scotland and in London and work aswell, so I paid my cleaner too much".

How about having one house like normal people? That REALLY annoys me that MP's think they're somehow entitled to have more than one house. Normal people just move nearer to their place of work, not buy another house with taxpayers money.

Isn't the arguement that they work long hours in two very different parts of the country each week? I agree that it would be better to have ministerial apartments available in London though.

Again, the youths make a mockery of our nations greatest leaders

Christ, he came out nearly as badly as Brown. Talk about having rings run round you.. Even at the end, Clegg said in jest that they were tougher than Paxman.

Do you think they would win votes if they asked the kid: Are you old enough to vote? No?, then shut up and do your homework.

They do need two bases if they live outside the Home Counties. Would you be happy if your MP lived in London?

What would be better would be to have a building split into suites. MP's then get one of these along with their office in Westminster. Upkeep could be centralised etc. Also make it easier for the next Guy Fawkes i guess...

They do need two bases, but they don't need two homes. They are not moving their entire family around with them.

They need a family home which they pay for themselves and can be anywhere near to Westminster or their constituency and then they can have a state funded, rented base either at the constituency or Westminster. They won't own this and it will be suitable for a single professional and not a familly. They will be there to work not to play.

The most sensible thing would be for Westminster council or their constituency council to source them an appropriate property. If it's good enough for a Briton then it's good enough for an MP who's job it is to serve Britons.

It would have to be one fking huge building to house 650 odd MP's but I like the idea

There will be one purpose built by 2012. The Olympic Village.

Athletes move out, grasping parasites move in. Job done.

Not when the questions are coming from first time voters.

I found that debate quite worrying. Labour have smeared the tories as the 'nasty posh party of the rich' which is total bks. what CMD was getting at was lets stop the mushrooming single mother chavs being paid to breed.

The local paper yesterday had a load of letters saying that the tories want to bring back foxhunting so they won't vote for them

Ok then so you're happy to carry on being taxed to death to pay for chav scum, you're happy to let said scum run riot with absolute impunity, you're happy to let Labour piss away your tax on massive state interference, you're happy for town halls to keep getting more and more powers to spy on you or fine you etc. etc. ad infinitum.

But foxy woxy is safe so that's ok!

You're right pmanson, this country is full of thick as pigst retards and unfortunately it's looking quite likely that because of that the state of affairs I've just mentioned will carry on for another 5 fking years.

That would be an interesting FOIA request - "How many nights has James Gordon Brown spent in his constituency home since becoming Prime Minister?"

Seeing as how he has had accommodation provided by the State for the last 13 years, there should not be a single bill or claim for any property. Should he not be funding his main and only home out of his own pocket whilst you and I foot the bill for Downing Street?
