1 ...ruled out holding a referendum...to give "more power to Parliament and the British people".

So far he's the odds-on favorite to win the Orwell Newspeak Award. The Brits may soon be wishing they had Tony back. BTW, that pic is just begging for a good caption. He looks seriously plastered...

3 Sorry, Brits. You've had a good run but it's clear that now you're done. I still just don't understand how a group of people who saw off the Germans and the Japs could surrender to a bunch of unwashed camel herders, though. What happened to you?

10 Brown certainly seems supremely fluent at mouthing all the Politically Correct Muslim appeasing bloviation that the EU holds in such high esteem.

13 BigJim, its much worse than that. They don't even get to vote for PM. They just get stuck with one from the majority party. Parliamentary thingy. Its a many nuanceded procedure that's far too complicated for an American such as myself.
