John Smith was fairly popular- and Scottish.

It's not his nationality that's the issue [Scots MPs voting on
exclusively English matters is a whole other thing], it's the fact
that he's a useless twat..

Yeah but John Smith was never PM though jj - only labour leader. I think you must be kidding yourself if you think Brown's Nationality is not an issue to some folk.

PEOPLE think Stephen Hawking is so clever, but when you ask him a question and he is typing in the answer on his little screen, how do we know he isn't just looking up the answer on the Internet?

I still think for most Scottishness is not the issue. Brown has so
many other things to dislike about him.

Brown is a weak leader you only have to look at what was going on at number 10 with these emails, and he denys all knowledge of them, he is either thick or a fucking big liar !shocked!

So on this subject who was our last loved Prime Minister then and will we ever have another as it seems to be par for the course for us Brits to tear everybody important apart in a gloatingly abusive manner ...

Wonder how long Obama will get before being ripped apart in the States??

I think Fox News commentators started about 2 mins after he won the election.

Well, that's hardly an accurate summary of the foregoing.
Perhaps if we weren't treated to an endless procession of political
incompetents and talentless 'celebrities' we might be less prone to
so unjustifiedly slagging them off, do you think?
Yes, Brits are hard on those who do well [IMO largely because we're
well aware that in life luck often plays a greater part than talent],
but that's our way- we're also usually pretty fair. If a man does a
good job, then fine; it's when he resorts to hypocrisy, egomania or
dishonesty that we tend to get a little critical.

When the northern working mens' clubs were still going strong I
visited quite a few, and they had acts every bit as good as you'd
see on telly. The difference? Sheer luck of the draw; one got the
break, the others didn't.
