    Are they making African babies listen to this twaddle as well?

    That's a crime against humanity.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        I wasn't exaggerating when I said it was cringeworthy!!!

        Maybe I should have given a warning to people with a full stomach first though

            Interesting. Of all the email comments the British Broadcasting Corporation could choose to publish they go for this one:

            1649 BB, Toronto, Canada: "The British PM should not apologise for the economy. It wasn't Britain that engaged in credit default swaps or other derivatives."
            http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7924064.stm

            Edit: telling that this was chosen particularly as it is utter bollocks as well.

              SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE ME HAS BEEN SAYING IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT, BROWN TELLS AMERICA

              In a keynote speech to the US Congress Mr Brown said he was 'shocked, shocked I tell you' to discover that a man claiming to be the British prime minister has used every possible opportunity over the last 12 months to lay the blame squarely at America's door.

              The prime minister said: "He goes on television and says 'the economic crisis originated in America and then spread across the globe'. That's his catchphrase. But get this, right, the caption at the bottom of the screen says 'Gordon Brown, Prime Minister'.

              "And I'm just sitting there watching it, thinking 'bloody cheek!'. And then I go into the office and everyone's saying 'good interview, prime minister' and I'm like, 'for ****'s sake, it wasn't me, okay?'.
              "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "
