Default Hey UK you're irrelevant !

At least the current administration seems to think so.

Gordon Brown lurched from being hailed as a global statesman to intense embarrassment tonight, after it emerged US President Barack Obama had turned down no fewer than five requests from Downing Street to hold a bilateral meeting at the United Nations in New York or at the G20 summit starting in Pittsburgh today.

It's Gordon Brown, even his own people think he's irrelevant.

Can't blame Obama for not wanting to talk to him, the guy has as much life as a dead raddish.

Can anyone say 'Special Relationship'?

Oberon is quite right, there's not many folk here who have any respect or time for winky.

We didn't even vote him in! He won't make it through the next election, you could probably put money on it. I'd say that the Tories will make a comeback next year, and they're not much better. All a bit rock and hard place really.

Camerons a dick, Im not a fan of brown either but the Tories suck balls!
In the trash they posted though our door, they refered to the Bankers recession as: 'gordon browns' recession.
That statment alone is grounds enough to never vote for them, EVER!
How dare they insult the voters intelligence with that kind of slander!

Cant be bothered with politicians anymore, they lie, lie, and lie some more.
they make half their decisions based on self intreast anf financial incentives.

In our so called Democracy we have 2 major Political parties, One one screws up? the opposition claims they can do it better,
so we vote them in, when nothing changes they blame it on 'mess' left behind by their predecessors.

Repeat the above for eternity.

... and they wonder why so many young people dont bother registering on the electorial role.

What about Steed?


I guess this is the time for Scotland and Wales to break away.
We need some new episodes for Battlefield: Britain anyway.

Well Wales could go but we would wipe them out....

Scotland, well I live there and I'm English.....

Personally up in my neck of the woods if the SNP got their way then I think things could get dicey.

Although I have never had any anti-englishness the NE of Scotland is SNP heartland and most of teh Bravehearts come from here so I do fear there would be anti-englishness coming out of the woodwork especially if teh economy tanks upon independence which it would.

In fact this is where Alex "Shrek" Salmond has a perfect out. What ever happens on gaining independece if Scotland succeeds he can bask in glory, if Scotland fails he can blame the English. Don't let his rhetoric fool you, the SNP is essentially a racist party.

Hey UK you're irrelevant!

Close
I think it's just the 1 eyed porridge gobbler who's irrelevant!
He's out of a job in less than a year and a walking political corpse.
He never won an election, or a mandate to govern and never will.
If I were in Obama's shoes I wouldn't want to talk to him either.
I wouldn't talk to him in my own shoes FFS.
Hopefully once the useless parasitic retards gone we'll be back to business as usual.

Do I hate Brown?
Damn right I do.



End rant.

Fair play to Obama, he realises Gordon Brown has the life expectancy of a Cream cake at weight-watchers!

Hmm I don't know what to make of this.

When I hear 'special relationship' I cringe.

Then again this isn't the first time Obama has been like this with the UK. May I remind you of the Churchill bust being sent back and the embarrassing presents for the Brown kids.

Sure I don't like Brown, and I think Cameron will be better. We need a change. However is this substantiated? I dunno..Personnally though I don't think this is a case of the UK being irrelevant but Obama looking down his nose. I'm getting fed up hearing about him now, he seems to be on our tele more than Brown is....

Seriously even over here it is Obama this, Obama that, oh isn't he lovely, he will save the world. Yea sure his talks with Russia over nukes is good, but I'm fed up of hearing about him....

Starting a thread about the UK is definitely giving that country too much attention.





My impression is just that in O.'s opinion Brown's a lame duck and that his days are numbered. Perhaps the financial crisis did help him a bit, but it can't last much longer than this.
