Gordon Brown Is Victor Kiam Channelling Gerald Ratner
“GORDON Brown today gives Britain his personal guarantee he will save the nation from financial meltdown.”
The guarantee is not for all time, and a glance at the small print, and a look at the opinion polls, shows that it will be voided at the next general election. There is also no money back guarantee and if the economy breaks you cannot have a new one.
This is Gordon Brown’s “special vow”. This Gordon Brown doing his impression of Victor Kiam when everyone else is sounding like Gerald Ratner.
He “urges the nation to put its faith in him”. If we all believe enough, we can make it. You just have to believe.
“The British people know this is going to be a tough year,” says Gordon. “They are already feeling the pinch with their shopping and fuel bills.”
The use of the third person plural makes you wonder who Gordon is addressing in his column? The impression that he is talking to the mirror.
“But they know that the Labour government has got he economy though tough times in the past.”
They believe. But do you believe, Gordon? Yes, Gordon, I believe…
