getdoon_weebobby Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 bit late the psycho must of been dragged out by his PR people
rolf Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 He says he's sorry and takes "full responsibility". Why won't he do this with the recession? Does he still blame America? (I loved Nick whatsisname's question at the G20). He's only sorry over what he thinks are trivial, non-front page matters.
three pint princess Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 "I am sorry about what happened." Next time I'll be more careful
Guest KingCharles1st Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 you mena he ACTUALLY used the letters S-O-R-R-Y in that order, in a culpable and genuine way...? NAH
Concrete Jungle Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Mc Broon is only sorry that the deceitful labour spinmeisters have been exposed to the sheeple.
happy_renting Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 As a poster on the Guido Fawkes website points out: I don’t think he actually apologised. He’s used more weasel words according to the BBC:“I am sorry about what happened.” NOT the same as apologising to the persons smeared, as Nadine Dorries can testify! I will be amazed if you get an apology or even a weasel worded “I regret it if any bad things were done without my knowledge” letter from him. He doesn’t do “apologise”. and another comments: He said Sorry, but he also said that he took full responsibility AND the person responsible had left his job.Shome mishtake shurely ?.
Methinkshe Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Gordon Brown is like a relcacitrant child found with his hand in the sweetie jar. By the time an apology has been extracted under ever more dire threats of punishment, it is barely worth the breath with which it was uttered. It is merely academic. The only thing that can be said for an apology extracted under such duress is that it may make him a little less blase in future. I don't for a moment believe there is any sincerity attached. Regret at being found out, maybe, but no genuine sorrow for the offence.
a+b+c+d Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Brown Says Sorry, over damian mcbride email scandal Link?
getdoon_weebobby Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Link? http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/..._Damian_McBride "I am sorry about what happened."
geezer466 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 And timed to perfection so it's listed as second story behind the decision not to charge Damien Green and his mole at the Home Office.
Guest sillybear2 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 This means there is further evidence to come out directly linking it to him and his other attack dog, Tom Watson. Brown doesn't say sorry easily, and only then it's simply a way to cling on to power. Is he sorry for employing these vile people in the first place? Doubt it, he's sorry for getting caught, that's all.
a+b+c+d Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/..._Damian_McBride"I am sorry about what happened." Well, 'I'm sorry' about the Holocaust, too. But that doesn't mean I'm apologising for it. Incredible!
KingBingo Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 The prime minister added: "I take full responsibility for what happened. That's why the person responsible went immediately." Did GB just announce his resignation, or is he so new to this apologizing business he got his words all jumbled?
Thunderbird 900 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 So Brown finally realises that his letter of apology, written like a five year old with a crayon, is not enough. More like someone in his inner circle finally had the balls to tell this mentally ill bully boy that he should, please sir, pretty please, actually say sorry. Brown is finished, he is rubbish. Call an election! What do I do to make you want me What have I got to do to be heard What do I say when it's all over And sorry seems to be the hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word
wealthy Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Reminds me of a Tracy Chapman song "Sorry is all that you can say, the years go by and still the words don't come easily-Like forgive me"
a+b+c+d Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Now that Brown has 'apologised', these people must sue. David Cameron must be rewarded for being unjustly accused of having 'an embarrassing disease', George Osbourne for being accused of having 'relationship' with a drug-taking tart and that woman MP for ........ whatever it was. By suing, they'll show that there's nothing in the stories. I'm looking forward to this. There'll be some red faces!

I'm looking forward to this. There'll be some red faces! The stories were smears by the Labour party, saying sombodies wife looks depressed and asking if she might commit suicide is not something you can sue over. As long as it stays close enough to legal it would be tough to sue. Once the plan leaked out it was reported as a whole in the public interest, the stories the Labour party had queued up are published as smears themselves by the Labour party not as gossip on a fine line. Gordon Brown should sue the papers for printing these stories about the Labour party smear campaign, but he's just said sorry for doing it which would scupper any case he made.
laurejon Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Gordon Brown should resign, it is clear that he is either not in control of his own people, or he is complicit in the edeavours to destablise the political process and denegrate democracy. In either case the only course of action is a resignation of his Government before the people make the G20 riots look like a stroll in the park. People have simply had enough now, if its not one thing its another. There is not one single week that goes by that we learn just how low, corrupt, fraudulant this puppet government is. Where is the home secretary with regard to the Tomlinson case ? We are living in the wost financial crisis in living memory, yet where are the policies, the speeches to put us on a path to recovery ? This Government lost its direction when Blair left having been removed by underhand tactics by Brown and his henchmen. Brown is a major liability to the security of our nation, and its becoming clear on a daily basis that his time at the head of the Labour party should have drawn to a close months ago. Brown is not fit for purpose, is ill equipted to deal with the daily crisis's that seem to cling to the Government, and we clearly need a fresh start to regain any confidence the public may have left in the democratic process. When people start to criticise the purpose of democracy becuase it is denied to them, then thats when the trouble starts.
Guest DissipatedYouthIsValuable Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 More diversion. Politics is a theatrical fool's mask to distract the populace from the devilry of the money masters.
Methinkshe Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 More diversion. Politics is a theatrical fool's mask to distract the populace from the devilry of the money masters. Did you coin that yourself, Diss-youth? It's unusually profound for you..................!
a+b+c+d Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 The stories were smears by the Labour party... Exactly! Never mind David Cameron and George Osbourne - they can look after themselves - but why isn't this woman MP not suing? It's a vile charge and I should have thought her husband and kids are desperate for her to kill the story and get damages too. What's holding things up, do you think? We need her to start the process pronto to keep the pressure on these people.
Guest X-QUORK Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 My three year old son has just discovered the word "sorry". He loves it, and even manages to sound quite sincere, even though he uses it a little too often and not always appropriately.
DementedTuna Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Guys, guys... think about this one for a moment, would you. - Brown should be apologising for screwing up the economy. - There's been a lot of media pressure asking him to apologise for that. - Then, this sleaze thing comes along and he apologises. Saying "sorry" for a minor sleaze thingy has got him off the hook for apologising for ruining almost everyone's lives by buggering up the economy.
