Has Gordon Brown backtracked on his G20 targets?
Sunday 29th March 2009
Gordon Brown has today come under intense pressure after an apparent change in strategy regarding the forthcoming G20. Despite travelling around the world for the last week or so championing his cause for a concerted effort to revive the worldwide economy it would appear there will be no "spending pledges" at the forthcoming meeting.
This is a major change in strategy from the UK government, with many observers believing that signs over the last few days that European ministers were looking to block any such move have derailed Gordon Brown’s hopes. Just a week ago it appeared that the G20 summit could well turn into Gordon Brown's personal rescue plan however today there are signs that he is about to be stabbed in the back by his European counterparts.
The G20 itself does not have a very good reputation amongst the vast majority of the UK public, and those around the world, with suggestions that there is plenty of hot air but very little action afterwards. The fact that Gordon Brown appears to be backtracking on his earlier promises does not bode well for the future and will not help the reputation of this meeting of the elite governments of the world.

KHOODEELAAR! evidential update on the deep accountability deficit in UK Parliament: It is a bankrupt Parliament
Ordinary decency would make most observers sympathetic to Jacqui Smith. Her plight as caused by the [so far] published details of her husband's behaviour.
What will fail to make decent thinking observers sympathetic to Jacqui Smith or to her fellow MPs is the brazen disregard for standards that is displayed every day the MPs are in ‘action’ in their paid roles
When was the last time that so many ‘comments’ were noticed about any subject that has to do with ordinary peoples’ ordinary lives?
NEVER is the answer. Must be the answer. On the evidence of their conduct. On their true records. Not on their faked records.
The ‘other’ MPs and politicos only comment in the terms of fake innocence that has been on display during today [Sunday 29 March 2009] when they think that their participation in the public indulgence will leave THEIR own activities unexposed.
Then there is the matter of doing their constitutional duty of scrutinizing Bills.. They DO NOT scrutinise anything unless VERY SERIOUS and or country-wide pressure is put on them.
This is seen every single time. On every single Bill. On every single aspect.
If that is the only way in which to make MPs do their job of representing representing the people then there cannot be a parliament. Not an active one any way.
KHOODEELAAR! has explained, reported, focussed on and pointed out - now for more than 5 years about the Crossrail Bill and agenda and scam - that the holders of posts in Parliament [=’MPs’] who are in those posts on the assumption that they would hold the executive to account have been failing to do their job...
Not only should Jacqui Smith have known what her expenses were being used for. The House of Commons bureaucracy and the MPs should have done so as well..In other words, there should have been in place at all times vigilance about what their privileges were being put to...
That state of vigilance is unlikely to come into play any time soon in Britain, if the behaviour on holding the executive to constitutional account as displayed by Chris Huhne is anything to go by..
When Jacqui Smith announced her latest Martial law in the UK inner cities last week, Huhne came on the BBC and backed her..
Huhne is supposed to be the anti-spin miniature giant inside the UK Parliamentary Lib Dems Party
Well his endorsement of Jacqui Smith’s declaration of a new state of Martial law showed that he could not possibly be one.
The only description that fitted Huhne on the evidence of his role as he played it on the declaration of martial law in the inner cities was that he was a pathetic pigmy devoid of ALL necessary morality ethics and honour in a democratic parliament....
Or worse, a colluder.
It is worth noting that when Huhne appeared on the BBC News Channel and was asked to comment on Jacqui Smith’s Martial law, his face took on a twisted look of suppression...As if Huhne was under orders to N OT tell all... And tell nothing g he dutifully did. The only thing he did tell was that he agreed with Jacqui Smith.
How very different from the ‘undemocratic ’ ‘failed states’ [introduced into the zombified minds by the BBC and reinforced by all UK parities and personnel] like Pakistan the UK is...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where as in Pakistan, Military dictators come in with routine frequency, in the ‘Mother of Parliaments’ at Westminster, no such event would be tolerated! Or contemplated
Or could it?
It could. And in welcoming tones too. As Vince Cable’s OTT phrasing in his PMQs spot addressing Harriet Harman on Wednesday showed.
“Dr” Cable has left no doubt now - with his over the top depiction of Mervyn King’s comments to the Treasury Select Committee as a very ‘British coup’ - that he is really no more rigorous intellectually than the others despite the unplanned glory that he has been covered in over his ‘Stalin to Mr Bean’ peroration.. But then why should Vince Cable be any different?
Why indeed!
The man who made his main career as almost Number Two leftie to the ‘very Brit ish socialist’ Tony Benn in the 1970s, has now renounced all of that.
In a confessional arranged in the last few weeks by the BBC with the resident racist reactionary apologist and time-server 'clergyman' of lies Andrew Neil, Chris Mullin [who even ‘edited’ the over the top and deeply corrupting Tribune of the non-existent left before seeking his domain in the Place of Westminster, ] has denied being anything like the left-winger that he may have been portrayed as.… So much so that he also put on the record words about the comparative ease with which he had got on with the liar himself. Tony Blair.
But then the now admitted ease with which so many allegedly left wing, allagedly working class Blairing MPs got on with Tony Bliar should not come as any surprise at all after layer,o students of the disintegration of Gordon Brown’s ‘vah-loos’.
He lacks democratic values.
He is sunk in a hole of distortion, ignorance and conceit and deceit... Gordon Brown can indulge in a surfeit of scripted statesmanship. But he will come unstuck... Why? Because the House of Commons has let him down. It has failed to hold Brown to account, thus giving him the impression that fakery is quite okay...
And Jacqui Smith has become the latest casualty career-wise of the failure of the Mother of Parliament to morally protect its members from their own excesses and carelessness... and propensities

KHOODEELAAR! evidential update on the unreliability of a 'career-politician': the incredibly glib words of Brian Coleman on the 'Tony McNulty' 'news'
When I went on the record and stated any agreement with anything that Brian Coleman had ever said, I did so with precision. Precision and condition and qualification. I had been aware of Brian Coleman’s mutterings. And I had noticed over so many of Coleman's stray utterances that he was not reliable at all.
On his record, Coleman has not sustained anything. Except his career. For what it is worth. And it can not be worth anything to the people of London. Except to Brian Coleman.
In October 2007, not long after Gordon Brown played his role as a peddler of Big Business Crossrail, Brian Coleman popped up in the New Statesman saying that the City of London should be scrapped.
The City of London exists as a highly brazen Tory tool. Tory in the Norman Tebbit sense. Tory in the Margaret Thatcher sense. Tory in the Tony Blair sense. Tory in the sense that it has behaved in over the most part of its existence as a ‘world crass grabbing centre’ that has been central to bringing to its knees whatever financial system [!!!] existed in the ‘free trading world’...
My immediate trigger for addressing the role of the City of London in October 2007 - a full year before the financial calamity began to show - was of course the peddling role the City of London had been playing for facilitating the looting of the UK public by Big Business in contracts to the tune [initially] of £16 Billion via Crossrail. That is before taking into account the additional £Billions in expected overruns.
So I put in a brief sentence as follows:
“
11 October 2007 at 11:19
I fully agree with and endorse the statement in Brian Coleman's column as follows:
"Never mind that it has no benefit at all for most actual Londoners as opposed to commuters from the Home Counties."

I had expected that Coleman would follow up his utterances ‘against’ the City of London. If not about the City of Lo London itself, I had expected him to elaborate on the grabbing irrelevance of the place. But I have not noticed anything.
In fact Since October 2007, I had not come across Brian Coleman in print again.
Until last night .
Coleman appeared on the BBC News Channel along with a person from the ‘Guardian Weekly’. To ‘review’ the front pages of the Sunday papers. On the item about MPs’ expenses, allowances etc, Coleman took the very same line that Eric Pickles had done on last Thursday's’ Question Time.
In fact Coleman went one further and sought to undermine the Mail on Sunday for trying to find credible information on MPs behaving greedily...
Coleman decided to attack the Mail on Sunday ‘s particular reporting and investigation instead of saying anything about the subject that the newspaper had been focussing on...
taken together, the performances of Eric Pickles on the Question Time and Brian Coleman on the B BC News Channel over the same issue raise the question: what chance is there that a Tory ‘win’ at any general election will make things any better?
CRASS prospects indeed!
They will carry on the Crossrail crass scam too.
I am saying this in the full knowledge of the hype and the spin around Daniel Hannan and the plugs for Daniel Hannan and the Tories in the Times by Crossrail scam-backing Matthew Parris
