Brown Is Nuts: Pyschologist On Daily Politics

[jock1967]

would you not expect, nae demand, that the guy who has arguably the top, the most important job in Uk plc, has a clean bill of mental health? There were similar analyses of Blair during his *reign*, very worrying IMHO, irrespective of the fact he had no standard economist qualifications when governing the purse strings as chancellor, this woman suggested he's likely to fukcin overspend when he's feeling glum/insecure... over spend what like the odd trillion!! It is patently clear that he's unfit to govern if they'd have let her continue we may have reached that conclusion, instead they closed her down by making light of it, she'd have nailed him. He should be sectioned, end of.

She's a psychodynamic psychotherapist. Not a psychologist or psychiatrist. She could possibly be no more qualified than the village idiot to determine whether anyone is mentally ill or should be sectioned.

From the information on her website she is far less qualified than me to determine any mental illness or to decide if someone needs to be sectioned.

The harsh reality is that madmen make natural leaders, as they have sociopathic tendancies, which means that they can make decisions that will result in misery and death for many people. If you were mentally balanced you would find this rather upsetting and would be unable to do the job. It's much like surgeons, they really are psychopathic butchers, but without this imbalance they would be unable to do their job.

So, in a nutshell, our leaders are bonkers, and they always have been.......

I'm waiting to see whether Broon will be on the next series of Spendaholics. Would love to see how they could demonstrate the huge debt he's accumulated for the country over the last decade.

Actually I think it's very unlikely that someone completely normal and balanced would have the necessary skills required to push yourself into a job like prime minister. Blair was a patholgical attention-seeker and Thatcher was just pathological. In fact, most people in very senior positions are basically psychopathic; they have to be. The rest of us would have said b****cks to it long ago; life's too short.

Brown has got into the habit of repeatedly saying things that are demonstrably not true. e.g.

"No one is worse off with the abolition of the 10p tax band"

"Our economy is well placed to weather this storm because we have high employment and low borrowing"

"This crisis originated in the US"

I think this is more "Downfall" than just blatant policiticing, you sense he has convinced himself of the alternative truth if no one else.

I was not left in any doubt that Brown has a disconnect somewhere when he told a BBC journo very recently (on a train as he tours the UK) that "We have low debt in the UK." When you consider debt is the essential problem that is underlying our problems it has to be concluded that Brown may have a form of Aspergers which prevents him from drawing logical conclusions from various data sets. I am afraid he may not necessarily be deliberately lying when he comes out with absurd statements that fly in the face of reality but may simply be telling the truth from his perspective which is, of course, severely distorted due to a mental condition.

A person that thinks like Brown would typically use anti-terrorist laws to deal with a non-terrorist issue for example.

Yes that's right mate.

It was the Americans who came over and held a gun to Applegarth's head to force NR to make 125% loans

It was the Americans who forced B&B to get into Buy-to-let up to their necks and do self-cert til the cows came home

It was the Americans who allowed the UK consumer to borrow 6x salary with no deposit or credit check.

It was the Americans who ran a UK deficit year after year after year

It was the Americans who forced UK consumers to run up the most credit card debt in history, out weighing the rest of Europe put together

It was the Americans who created the FSA who have been asleep at the wheel for 10 years

It was the Americans.

Not Brown's fault. Oh no. Not at all. He was only the chancellor for 10 years, with no powers. He made no laws, no decisions, had no influence on the UK at all.

That should be f@ckin pinned !!!

Agreed. It should also be read out on the news every night for the next six months & it might help to counteract the (suprisingly effective) brainwashing that he is a prudent & competent operator. I see on the luchtime news that he is now trying to take the credit for reducing the oil price . Jeez !

Quite, well said. Going through an election for anything is painful for normal people. It is our own unwillingness to go through it that gives us the politicians we get. Is there an alternative?

[Moo]

Out of interest, would you chaps consider the salesman in BMW garage to be 'mad' he told you all the cars in his showroom were really good, and priced very competitively?

He's a bloody politician! You don't honestly expect him to admit* just how much he's ******ed up, do you?

* Give it fifteen years and he'll talking honestly about it on "Desert Island Discs", but until then, you're gonna have to put up with the ********.

Psychologist: Brown is bonkers - Daily Politics discussion

Bringing Peter Mandelson back was bordering on "self-harm".

The biggest nutjobs I've ever met have been psychologists.

[Bosh]

Even wrapped in clingfilm, you can still clearly see his nuts.

[Gormless Clown]

Haven’t you understood anything ? He isn’t normal !

It is our own unwillingness to go through it that gives us the politicians we get.

No it isn’t ! Gordon denied everyone their right to vote when he assumed his un-democratic position !

He bottled it, remember ?

[Jadoube]

?

Because its plain to see that Brown is demented nutjob

You mean even more so than many who post on HPC?

[hilltop]

There is a tiresome poster on this thread who is clearly demented and psychotic, but he has told us that he is a HIGHER RATE TAXPAYER, so clearly a person of authority and consequnce. Pots and kettles come to mind.

:angry: :angry: :angry:

That is a great post.

[RichM]

The "psychologist" isn't qualified at much, IMO.

Having said that, I do worry for GB to some extent. If he lost control of his party or lost a GE I do wonder how he'd cope.

[Converted Lurker]

isn't there a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy suggestion as to electing politicians?

[Gormless Clown]

There is a tiresome poster on this thread who is clearly demented and psychotic,

Have you got Bi Polar or something, talking about yourself in the third person ?

but he has told us that he is a HIGHER RATE TAXPAYER

That envy is really showing through now, hurts doesn’t it ?

clearly a person of authority and consequnce

You’re learning leftie !

[Fully Detached]

I agree that the shrink is probably talking out of her ****, but couldn't we just section him anyway? For the fun of it, like.

I would love to see him being interviewed in a straight jacket foaming at the mouth !

“Nurse !”

“Its all America’s fault I tell you all their fault !!!”

Came to this thread a bit late, but bloody hell the trolls are out in force today. Brown is Bonkers.

This is post of the week. Brilliantly put. People need to be reminded this. Most people I talk to are starting to believe Browns bull. Why aren't the Tories seizing on this? Why is the media so quiet about it?

Because it wouldn't have been much different under them and they were hardly calling for the boom to be moderated were they?

Here is her website:

http://www.lucyberesford.co.uk/

It says she brings psychological insight to the corporate world - she is one of those who helped convince people that debt was good, spending like tomorrow had no consequences and that this crash would never happen.

She should be burned as a witch! (fossil fuel prices have dropped)
