Brown at it again

November 24, 2016 22:48

is Gordon Brown all there? Seriously. I wonder if his brain is functioning properly. Speaking to the troops in Afghanistan he said this:

This week we are celebrating the Olympics where we have had great success. But this week also I believe that our Olympic athletes and everybody else in our country will remember that you have showed exactly the same courage, professionalism and dedication. You make our country proud every day of the week and every week of the year. You are truly the heroes of our country.

It's clear what he's trying to do - praise the troops. But that's not what he has actually done. He said that they have shown "exactly the same courage, professionalism and dedication" as our Olympic athletes. To compare the courage of the troops with a bunch of people going round in circles as quickly as they can or paddling in the water is not just ridiculous, it is insulting.

When will the PLP rid us of this overpromoted incompetent?
