Last Straw » Gordon Brown http://last-straw.net The weblog of Christiaan Briggs Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:27:05 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Too late Labour, you had your chance http://last-straw.net/too-late-labour-you-had-your-chance/ http://last-straw.net/too-late-labour-you-had-your-chance/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 07:41:38 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=3877 pointing out the bleedin' obvious:
Brown systematically blocked, and personally blocked, political reform. I think he is a desperate politician and I just do not believe him.
Brown and Labour, at heart, are authoritarians and deserve to be thrown on the dustheap. This is the best chance Britain has had for electoral reform in a very long time. Next time maybe Britain will be able to vote in modern democracy under a modern system of proportional representation (not the ruse that Brown was touting, the alternative vote).]]> http://last-straw.net/too-late-labour-you-had-your-chance/feed/ 0 War criminals looking after their own http://last-straw.net/war-criminals-looking-after-their-own/ http://last-straw.net/war-criminals-looking-after-their-own/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:32:23 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=3308 Solicitor Daniel Machover, after politicians—including Gordon Brown—hatch a plan to insulate fellow politicians from universal jurisdiction:
I feel honest revulsion at the idea of a case where a judge has granted an arrest warrant and a politician gets on the phone and apologises. They have got to stay out of individual cases and legal decisions.
Of course Gordon Brown and the government he is a part of played an integral role in the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. He's just looking out for his own kind.]]> http://last-straw.net/war-criminals-looking-after-their-own/feed/ 0 Chilcot Inquiry into Iraq War is a whitewash before it starts http://last-straw.net/chilcot-inquiry-into-iraq-war-is-a-whitewash-before-it-starts/ http://last-straw.net/chilcot-inquiry-into-iraq-war-is-a-whitewash-before-it-starts/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:06:51 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=2775 http://last-straw.net/chilcot-inquiry-into-iraq-war-is-a-whitewash-before-it-starts/feed/ 0 Jacqui Janes is wrong about why her son is dead http://last-straw.net/jacqui-janes-is-wrong-about-why-her-son-is-dead/ http://last-straw.net/jacqui-janes-is-wrong-about-why-her-son-is-dead/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:37:43 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=2552 http://last-straw.net/jacqui-janes-is-wrong-about-why-her-son-is-dead/feed/ 0 Another whitewash hardly surprising http://last-straw.net/another-whitewash-hardly-surprising/ http://last-straw.net/another-whitewash-hardly-surprising/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:12:01 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=2027 http://last-straw.net/another-whitewash-hardly-surprising/feed/ 0 The evil legacy of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and New Labour http://last-straw.net/the-evil-legacy-of-tony-blair-gordon-brown-and-new-labour/ http://last-straw.net/the-evil-legacy-of-tony-blair-gordon-brown-and-new-labour/#comments Sat, 09 May 2009 09:51:22 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=1900 http://last-straw.net/the-evil-legacy-of-tony-blair-gordon-brown-and-new-labour/feed/ 0 Gordon Brown’s hypocrisy on North Korea http://last-straw.net/gordon-browns-hypocrisy-on-north-korea/ http://last-straw.net/gordon-browns-hypocrisy-on-north-korea/#comments Sun, 05 Apr 2009 16:22:43 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=1765 http://last-straw.net/gordon-browns-hypocrisy-on-north-korea/feed/ 0 Can you believe this guy? http://last-straw.net/can-you-believe-this-guy/ http://last-straw.net/can-you-believe-this-guy/#comments Sun, 22 Mar 2009 12:32:01 +0000 Christiaan http://last-straw.net/?p=1726 http://last-straw.net/can-you-believe-this-guy/feed/ 0
