... or not reading from an autocue- he looks like he's doing a Blunkett, rolling his eyes and monging his face.

From the way he's bobbing and weaving around it looks as if he's riding his "rocking arse!"

My view is that the only autocue he has is a botched up selection of signs reminding him to smile...the way he makes an effort to smile on this is really quite pathetic. If this is to be believed, channel 4 at 25 is the most joyous moment of his life, have never seen him looking so happy...

Give him some credit... you can see the classic "You are smiling too much Gordon" lockjaw jump into action, yet he overrules it...he is listening and learning...*cough*
If Darling continues to be as dull as...well, Gordon mk I, they could always make use of "all the talents" and draft Carol in...
Brown smiling is one of the most revolting things I've seen. It should have come out on 31st not 2nd.

"I might have got the sums right"? Well, yes, I suppose he could have asked them for a hand.

The other bizarre thing about this was that it was filmed in front of a green screen with the background being added in later.
Why?

This deserves much wider coverage. As a former Labour supporter (don't get too excited, I don't support any of the alternatives and particularly not Cameron)I'd seriously hoped that all that Brown wouldn't be as awful as I feared. I was wrong. He's an awful lot worse.
His handlers must be shitting bricks after this performance. Seriously scarey.

This is from Browns biography (by Bower)...
'[Charlie] Whelan's hardest challenge was to encourage Brown to Smile... Undr Whelan's tuition he had tried to force a smile during a television interview. Obeying Whelans precise instructions he conciously stretched his facial muscles, elongted his lips and stuck his tounge into his cheek in an attempt to simultaneously speak and smile. The result - his jaw moved sideways in an apparent disengagement from his face - prompted Whelan to scream at the television.'
Jeez. Keep working on it Gordo, to the tune of Pulp Fiction's "Gord, you'll be a human someday..." bom pom pomm...

ARGH!!!!!!!!
I didn't believe you so went to pm.gov.uk and it's totally bizarrely legit.
What on earth is GM thinking of and why the weird off camera auto-cue style just to make it appear spaghetti harvest like?!
Stiff drink required now and a lie down in darkened room with a cool flannel.

Perhaps more frightening and menacing and certainly not traditional diplomacy, Brown's Chinese new year message:

Anyone seen the film ....the shining ?
Its like him taking an axe to number 10's door and sticking his head through it !
"heeere's Gordo .....!"

Look at his eyes... clearly reading from autocue.
Well actually Tom, it would only be one eye reading from the autocue....;)
... or not reading from an autocue- he looks like he's doing a Blunkett, rolling his eyes and monging his face.
