Gordon Brown's comment on cash for peerages

I have been reflecting on Gordon Brown's comment regarding the cash for peerages affair:

I believe when people see the full facts then they will be satisfied.

This is a rather odd comment, if you think about it.

Gordon Brown has always maintained he does not know the full facts, and that the whole thing has got nothing to do with him. So how can he be sure that people will be satisfied when they see the full facts?

Can you get this post of yours put on The Times masthead and repeated on every page of the website?

[Barry Bethel]

Satisfied... that laws have been broken?

Oh come on, the Tories are getting really desperate to try to rope Brown into this.

When will Insp. Yates knock on the door of Tory HQ enquiring after the dubious foreign loans they trousered?

Who were these donors, when will the Tories pay back the money, and how come Yates isn't getting his apron in a twist about the Tories' pact with faceless foreigners whose motives are far less clear than Labour's donors?

He's just using avoidance tactics. He doesn't want to be questioned about the subject, so he's trying to push it away to the future. Just plain cowardice.

[Ian Deans]

Perhaps when they have the full facts, they will be satisfied that they have the full facts (and not some of the facts).

Indeed, it may be the first that the full facts have ever been available. About anything.

[Peter Briffa]

He isn't sure. That's why he said "believe".

[John Hirst]

And, when might pigs fly?

[Alex R]

further more; considering the police are investagating conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, surely Brown now has a duty (if he is to be taken at his word) to take himself down to the nearest police station and make a full statement.

Gordon Brown never got passed the first page of Wittgenstein's Tractatus
"1.11: The world is determined by the facts, and by their being all the facts."

He should have read to the end:

"7. What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence."

How do I start this by not reflecting my admiration and bias for Prime Minister TONY BLAIR? Well I'll try. Gordon 'mightn't' want to comment on this issue perhaps because it is one of the 'sensitive' issues which he might possibly not want to jeopardize his cowardly tea-boy transition into the next British Prime minister!that's if the British people fall for the tricks of a "thrusting junior". What he's forgetting is that, in a polygamy, the same lash that was used for the first wife turned witch is tucked away for the new (angel) wife. Nonetheless, I'm still yet to ask TONY BLAIR about the Iraq issue. Its not looking good on his cv. Oh, don't worry, he'll mend the cash for peerage and the
judicial issues. He's a three term in government genius. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
