A young man named Gordon bought a donkey from an old farmer for £100.00.  The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.  When the farmer drove up the next day, he said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news...the donkey is on my truck, but he's dead."

Gordon Brown and the dead donkey story

Gordon replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."  The farmer said, "I can't do that.  I went and spent it already."  Gordon said, "OK then, and just unload the donkey anyway."  The farmer asked, "What are ya gonna do with him?"

Gordon said, "I'm going to raffle him off", to which the farmer exclaimed, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" But Gordon, with a big smile on his face, said, "Sure I can.  Watch me.  I just won't tell anybody that he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Gordon and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" Gordon said, "I raffled him off.  I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a huge profit" Totally amazed, the farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?" And Gordon replied, "The only guy who found out about the donkey being dead was the raffle winner, when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his £2 back plus £200 extra, which is double the going value of a donkey, so he thought I was a great guy."

Gordon grew up and eventually became the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and no matter how many times he lied or how much money he stole from British voters, as long as he gave them back some of the stolen money, most of them thought he was a great guy.  This is typical of how many brainwashed idiots there are out there in society who are fooled by what is apparently the good element of Gordon Brown - not to mention the bad element.

Brown is looking for excuses to extract more money off us to pay for his deceit.  I see no future in this country with the middle classes who work long hours who get penalised to compensate for the beggars who sponge off the state.

Most of those who gain from Gordon Brown’s actions are worthless thickos who believe that everything should revolve around them.  They have problems relating to an inferior inner self-value of what they can do, and know they cannot earn what they can sponge; so spongers are really glorified thickos!

A brilliant summary of Gordonomics! I'm thinking of standing for parliament as a complete liar. To quote Ronald Reagan 'Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.'

When it comes to politicians and truth, I think sometimes they can't tell the truth because they know all the trouble it would cause if they did. Being in a society where the public moans so much, if the politicians told you how things really were then there would be lots of public pressure.

Lol, That's a brilliant gripe letter, and a brilliant reply, I can see the reply happening for real, too many people have been living off the backs of the workers for too long.

Lets face it, this country is almost broke and no matter what the politicians say, the country will be losing vast amounts of its public sector services and workers within the next few months. Coupled with the loss of their final salaries pensions,( which tax payers can no longer afford), working for the councils will again be for the uninspired. Public sector workers have had the good life for years, now its coming to an end, welcome back to the real world.

In these difficult times financially for future pensions, public sector workers especially civil servants are arguing it is unfair that they are expected to sacrifice some of the mollycoddling and protection of their pensions paid for by the already overtaxed tax payer and especially what those in the private sector have to pay.

Public sector workers are arguing for this preferential treatment to be continued stating they have lower salaries in turn for these extras in their pensions.

This is utter crapp - the reason they are paid less is because they are more incompetent and thick generally, not because they have invested more into their pensions and the attempt to use the lower salary to justify this preference in their pensions shows how corrupt, selfish, manipulative and thieving these people running the country are.

Lower pay is because they are generally thicker and should not be used as an excure to gain at others expense.

But then those who are selfish and thick expect to be mollycoddled and protected from the difficulties in life. They should be known as 'the workers wrapped in cotton wool'.

Also the fat cat bankers, ministers, MPs, councillors, etc who are looking at ways to feather their nests and robbing us even more shows how status, wealth, authority and greed are all evils of inferiority associated with the controlling elite.

Politicians, ministers, civil servants, bureaucrats, councillors, etc. have all played a role in destroying society by creating a beggars society which most of them are.

Beggars are those who expect more than they deserve and are happy for others to be forced to suffer.

The yob culture, parents who don,t make the effort to bring their children up properly, families who are subsidised in housing association dwellings, spongers, etc. all take and give little back as well as vandalise others properties because they cannot own their property.

Greedy, selfish, corrupt, incompetent, unfair, unreliable, immoral sums up all these wasters in government, authority and society.

Why do these evil control freaks deserve preference over their victims? Because they haven't got the capability to succeed in a fair world and so bringing others down is their way to succeed so they try to control others.

There is a Common Purpose element of brainwashing within society for this to be happening so widely and at all levels.

There is no future for the British economy. We have reached a hiatus, a point in time of phase change where what has been true in the past cannot be allowed to model the future. Trading in the past in commodities, goods, services and money required that a measure of honesty and trust was involved. That trust has been broken. No one can trust anyone or anything anymore. The City of London's motto and modus operandi was "My Word is My Bond". Not anymore. Trust is bust. The City and its institutions will be swept well away.

The promise has been broken. Lies have prevailed. Who or what can we believe anymore? No one. The banks are bankrupt. The country is bankrupt. The establishment has proved to be the sham that it always really was. Oh Brave New World that has such people in it. Trust will not be re-established for many generations.

The whole of British politics will now be chucked into a melting pot. The old parties are completely meaningless, with worthless policies. A completely new constitution is required in this country, a new covenant between citizen and the nation. That covenant will not be arrived at immediately but only after some radical and historical moment in time, a telling event, when the people come together again to express their collective will. This surely will happen. The old will be swept quite away. We await the transformation.

The Author has been unwittingly mislead and entered into a rant about beggars and spongers.
Let us see the REAL pirates...
When you are given a wage... you get allowances... before getting TAXED.
After earnings reach a structured table, TAXES are increased in accordance with those tables.
Usually, when you spend money, you are taxed AGAIN and in the case of petrol, one is taxed on the tax already there. One is again TAXED by local government Council TAX.
The peoples who benefit.. Europe (UK EU budget), EU MP's, MP's, Quangos, Councils and Big Business (Private Financial Initiatives PFI etc) and the Arms industry (sorry to mention any wars) and Surveillance.
Maybe it is the bureaucracy that is MAIN the fault.

No one voted for Gorden Brown except for his constituents! Neither the country or his own party have had their say on wheather or not he should be in number 10. There needs to be an imediate general election!!!!!!!

Gordon McRuin and his Lackwitted advisors (Mandelbrat and others), still have plenty of time to attempt that which no government has done....

Declare a 'State of Emergency', abolish parliament, habeus corpus, the courts and civil liberties and try and bring in martial law so they can rule the UK for ever and a day. After all, McBroone is a 'Very Angry Man' because God, the World and especially us Peasants won't do as we are told!!

Oh, I forgot....we ain't got an army because they are all abroad.... But I jest really........................

Anyone with half a brain will understand that this new world crises has been years in the making, a master plan if you will, their will be no working class, no middle class, we are now a servant class, successive governments created the system where the peoples of nations fight amongst themselves, to deflect attention from their real goal which is a one world government, and eternal slavery to the bankers who control us, surely any thicko can see that.

The Labour Party is now finished. It will be wiped off the face of the earth. It failed the working man in this country. It failed the country as a whole. Lies, Damn Lies and Toxic Loans.

Think of your Pension Fund as Penury fund.

Think of your savings as gone forever.
