So who is the liar? Ex PM Brown or ex-editor of the Scum?

Crikey, I haven't been this torn since Neil Hamilton & Mohammed Al-Fayed were battling it out.

It's like one of those games where you have to chose between shagging Mandelson or Prescott.

You must go to the wrong parties!

Too right, the answer in that case is obviously Rebekah Brookes.

I actually thought his testimony was very balanced. I suppose I could be a little biased - as you clearly seem to be.

Gove's testimony was very balanced - in favour of Murdoch.

I think one could probably throw Brooks a little further, if that helps?

Trying to pick the least honest out of Brown, Murdoch and Brooks is a very tricky one. I'm not entirely sure what Brown would have to gain from lying here, his points were quite reasonable in that a parent would not consent to their sons medical condition making front pages and Murdoch's claim of Brown 'declaring war' are unsubstantiated at best.

Murdoch and Brooks strike me as rather slimey, vile individuals who are a waste of blood and oxygen.

Then his wife and Brooks had dinner together the following week after the story.

Brown has been shown to be a liar on at least 5 questions the other day, so it is more Brown vs (Milliband, Osborne, Gove, Murdoch, Brooks, The Press Pack, Major, etc)

ETA by 2010 it was hard to tell he was scotish.

Oh, ffs.

He was on the radio just the other day because of Levenson, and it was perfectly obvious that his accent was a posh Edinburgh Scottish one.

[deadslow]

Well, we've now got two British Prime Ministers under oath calling Murdoch a liar. Maybe the Brown haters are wanting to open their eyes a bit.

I can't say I am familiar with a posh edingburgh accent, but I do know Gordons changed and changed quite a bit. Also from the linguistic box of tricks he was taught not to says Billions instead of billion as people thought it was strange.

I am in the Brown hating camp. I allready knew murdoch was a lying scumbag and nothings changed there.

There are very few people I would trust in British politics, even fewer in the British press. They are twist the truth, some even blatently lie knowing you can't prove them wrong but anybody who claims that Brown is an honest man is deluded, he isn't.

Listen to Gordon Brown. That's a posh Edinburgh accent.

See? Now you're familiar. Every day's a school day on PH.

I remember reading a story about how the young student Gordon McBrown would cheat fellow partygoers..
This was his advice in a booklet he actually published with 'tips' on cheating..

An "infallible" method of cheating your way into bring-a-bottle parties is to "use a carrier bag of empty cans with two half-bricks at the bottom".

I read the quote above in a national newspaper, can't remember which but a quick net search came up with this enlightening page that gives some insight to the mean & cheating character of a young Gordon..

Murdoch being a liar does not preclude Brown being a liar too.

Especially when his successor confirmed the lie regarding SpAd press briefings, and went so far to say he had raised it at the time with Brown...

Can anyone make a complaint to the police for perjury?

For all we know he then tried to drink the bricks having misunderstood how the ruse works.

Maybe it was the bricks idea to gain entry to the party and they just needed a dumb tt with a bag a few empty cans to get in.

Think about it, maybe these bricks have been telling him what to do all along?

Get rid of the fancy gold bricks that make them look plain, deregulate the banks to falsify a housing boom that makes people fall in love with bricks?!!!

Is everything we have lived through the result of an insane, cock eyed Scotsman falling in love with a brick at university?

I'd instinctively distrust Broon. After all he deceived the country from 1997, on the economy, immigration and spending. Everything really. Dodgy expense claims. Outright lies too.
