I suspect Gordon Brown endorsing an act would mean the kiss of death for them. So Gord "dissin'" them is only good news for the Jedward course, I reckon.

Okay just HOW MUCH did Simon have to pay him to say this, more votes coming the lads way this weekend then

My god it must have been alot of money that is the BBC news, was it actually on the news as well.

Sib69 · 05-11-2009, 22:15

more votes for j&e then

Eurostar · 05-11-2009, 22:17

The swine! With taste like that,is it any wonder he's going to lose the next General Election?

MACTOWIN · 05-11-2009, 22:20

That is one shocking act talking about another shocking act.

I disagree, he might have just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
Well, maybe not but it won't do him any harm, he just might have saved a few Labour seats.

MACTOWIN · 05-11-2009, 22:23

Mr Brown the man that said he would not get involved with showbiz like Blair did.

I hope he bought Bad Boys too.

Jerrica09 · 05-11-2009, 22:26

Hasn't he got anything better to do? Servicemen coming home in coffins and he's bothered about X Factor. I remember he phoned Piers Morgan to ask after Susan Boyles health after BGT too. Pathetic.

So what that he said it? It's not like he just randomly spoke out, someone asked him a question. I'm sure he's allowed a spare few seconds in his day to build an opinion about these things.

But he'd have to watch the programme to have an opinion on it wouldn't he? That takes more than a few seconds.

If he is asked to comment why should he not give his opinion? David Tory boy Cameron also gave his opinion on Jedward but no mention of that in your post, surely he should have something better to do like come up with actual policies

DDRickyDD · 05-11-2009, 22:34

Who cares what someone whoose going to lose the next election by a landslide thinks?

The thing thet gets me is that he has time for that call to Piers but the Father of a young Soldier killed in the War said the Brown never phone him to say how sorry he was about his sons death. It is good to have your priorities in the right place.

Why should he say what his policies are Brown just steals them.

I've now got in my head a vision of Gord standing in his office in Number 10, Ipod on, having a sly little dance and sing to "Bad Boys." Aid walks in "errrr, errm, Prime Minister, errr" "OH! OH! Errr, errr, YES, YES!? WHAT IS IT?!" "Barrack Obama on the phone sir" "Oh! Oh! Right. Just, errr, trying out this Ipod thing, Xmas present for my niece, you understand."

I can't believe people still think that Simon doesn't like the twins - you can see the dollar signs as he rolls his eyes when they're performing!! They're creating a buzz, press coverage and high audience figures for his show in what otherwise is a pretty mediocre year.

Personally I find the twins a joke that's stretched too far but they seem to make others happy so - whatever. I won't be voting for the twins but I might vote Labour in the next election!!

noorani · 05-11-2009, 22:41

I know he's the Prime Minister and meant to be seen to be ministering to things, but isn't he allowed time off to sit and watch the telly on a Saturday night?

My thoughts exactly!

The first thing I ever agreed with Gordon Brown on.

That's what I thought.

This is not a case of Gordon Brown neglecting his duties. My interpretation of the BBC article on this is that Gordon was asked some questions about Saturday night tele and he answered them. And who knows, his dismissal of J&E may send a few votes in his direction - he certainly needs them!

May be worth a bet on who'll win more votes, Gordon or the Twins.
