Famous quotes of Comrade Gordon Brown

People get the governments they deserve, and the UK has gotten this pack of lying, incompetent Communists as our government because of our apathy and fear to do what is right. Every day there is at least another headline moral travesty in the UK, and every day polite Brits just whinge, cluck tongues over tea and let dogs lie.

Incidentally, Gordon Brown is not even the elected leader of Britain (not that Tony Blair was much better).

Anyway, some humour for our otherwise gloomy weekend.
