Am surprised that this hasn't been posted already... Seems like we are approaching dangerous ground here, wonder how many people will acquiesce

That arse will do anything to stay in power. Anything.

The reasons given in the article for him not leaving are deep into the land of the non-sequitur. The very worst thing for the Pound is the idea that there'll be a socialist in No.10! Whether or not he's got Comrade Cable or Comrade Balls working as his side-kick is a secondary consideration.

It will be hard to eject him from Downing Street even in the unlikely event the Tories get a landslide. He'll block himself in his bedroom and only be removed by force.

Brown to stay in post to prevent a run on the pound? Surely some mistake.

[dilbert]

When Brown went to the Palace, I think something happened.

No-one said anything, as you would expect, but he was there for too long. I suspect he and/or she had difficulty with the part where he had to "serve" the queen. I'm fairly sure that Brown doesn't like the queen much.

Clearly he's the PM now, but if there's a hung parliament it'll be an interesting twist.

He has to choose. He can either go with what he wants and stay on, or he can give it all up ignoring the rules.

If he stays on, then at some point he will have to suffer "dismissal" by the queen.
If he leaves, he's got to give up what he wants most, against the rules.

Unless he gets a majority he's going to be a loser.

Delicious.

I will join the riot if he does.

LOL the run on the pound is expected because of this government's refusal to tackle the debt. I really hope that most people are intelligent enough to realise that a tory vote is the only way to get rid of them.

[tangent police]

When are the latest inflation figures out again?

Their inability/refusal to deal with that will cause a run on the pound.

Another attempt at deflecting the cause of reality.

He's a bit desperate isn't he?

Can't we just send the military in?

Didn't MI5 draw up plans in the 70's against the Wilson government? Let's hope they are doing the same now. A decent coup d'etat would be great, and if they decide to put the government in front of a firing squad, I wouldn't complain.

And sell the rights to endemol. Pay per view would be through the roof.

Hmmm, have we got any soldiers actually in the country any more?

How often has the military been deployed overseas since Labour got in?

Just a thought.

If Brown barricades himself into number 10 and shouts "you're not takin' me alive!" I think that would be fine with most people. A fitting end to the most hated prime minister in Britain's history that he should be the first PM to leave Downing Street dead.

Wouldn't it be easier just to barricade the tt in from the outside. Eventually he would get so hungry that he would start to eat his own fat jowls.

What a .

Interesting. Maybe he has done this so there isn't an army at home to march on Downing street.

We must have a few laser guided bombs that can be used in a precision strike on No. 10?



Edited to add, hello GCHQ!

I just had a mental picture of South Park's "trapped in the closet", with Cameron and the police in No.10, and Brown, Nick Clegg, and the Greens all locked in the cabinet office, refusing to come out.

"YouGov pollster 'gives Labour an unfair advantage’
Britain's biggest opinion pollster is facing claims that support for Labour is over-represented in its surveys, The Daily Telegraph can disclose."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/election-2010/7546...

snippet of Telegraph article said:

The polling is run by Peter Kellner, the company’s president, who is married to Baroness Ashton, the senior Labour peer appointed Britain’s European commissioner by Gordon Brown. Several Tory supporters also hold senior positions at YouGov.

Why am I not surprised!

^ This.

And if he has to be removed from No.10 by force, I will happily employ the necessary force..

[stitched]

I recommend these guys, would go down in history as the best TV moment ever.

The one eyed,slack jawed moron has existed on a steady diet of his own snot and finger nails for years.
Thoroughly disgusting excuse for a man.
