Is "Gordon Brown" a Slitheen?
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 I have just been listening to PMQs. It was like an episode of Doctor Who (Aliens of London, to be exact). Gordon Brown has been replaced by a Slitheen (or, failing that, a robot). The man is incapable of answering a straight question and simply repeats, over and over again, what he has been programmed to say. What a waste of everybody's time - including mine. Does the PM/Slitheen give a toss? Of course not. He's happy to have survived another week. Incredible.

Simon - Unlike Barak Obama, who was elected following a cruelling campaign, Gordon Brown is our leader by default and it makes a mockery of our own democratic credentials.
How Brown can be elevated from zero to hero over his handling of the current financial crisis makes me despair? He alone was responsible for the financial well-being of our country for over a decade, but the current crisis is someone else's fault.
Unless a politician is prepared to give a straight answer to a straight question, then PMQs is a complete waste of time. Brown is by nature a control freak and is driven by his godly assertion that he has a right to be PM. He has no more right to the highest office in the land than Donald Duck. I only hope the next General Election delivers a true verdict on his record following his 13 years in power.
No, of course Brown doesn't give a toss. Why should he? His own present and future personal finances are assured. All he has to do is continue to obey his EU masters and go through the motions as he postures in our mockery of a parliament.
All MPs of the three major parties must obey their party whip. The whip is cracked by the EU. If only there were one or two more MPs brave enough to stand up and be counted.
Cameron's party may seem to be opposing but again it is so much hot air. Not one of the damaging new laws put through in recent years has been defeated. The whole thing is just an EU bought and paid for charade and the rot has descended down to local councils. These seem to have been given complete power to interpret and extend new laws way beyond their original meaning.
The word Gestapo does easily spring to mind.
Don't say gestapo Margot, Simon doesn't like it.
In this day and age, who can possibly expect a politician to give a straight answer to any question, straight or otherwise?
I always believed part of the criteria for becoming a politician was how much hot air you could spout to bore your questionners to tears or death, without ever actually answering anything!
As others have said, nearly all MPs are the same. When it comes to local elections, I vote for the individual and not the party.
I think most of the government are Slitheens! Look at Darling, the Millibands, Margaret Beckett and Harriet Jones sorry Harman. I am sorry Russell T Davies is pulling out of Dr. Who. I think he is just as much a visionary as George Orwell and has drawn on the whole government for his political characters and is trying to show how things could go if we allow these people to have so much power.
I was always suspicious that Orwell's real name was BLAIR
