British PM gets savaged (verbally) at EU meet.

I love the way British representatives get to directly call out their Prime Minister during events like this. I can't imagine congressmen in America ever confronting and insulting the president this way directly.. Our president lives in a protected bubble. Their leader needs to face the people's representatives every week for questions on live TV. Bravo Europeans.




There's something about getting insulted in a proper British accent that makes the pwnage that much worse.

I love it when you watch British Congressional hearings, anytime they agree they stand up and shout HEAR HEAR and pound their fist on the table or something obnoxious and loud.

rabble rabble rabble! Their exchanges are so much more entertaining to watch than ours. All we get are a bunch of Code Pink protesters getting brow beaten off camera by Barney Frank. Well, sometimes there are some entertaining exchanges, but the seem to be one-sided.

that was awesome. I hope The One got a chance to watch that because the same principles could apply to him.

haha, I was gonna start a thread about how sick British parliament is in comparision with the US. and when george galloway gets the floor oh man get the popcorn.

these MEPs are different than MP's, this is not the regular house. They serve a role and in the Europeanunion budget, electing the president, and setting up international agreements on behalf of the EU. They have their own parties and shit.

The guy was a little bit fucked criticizing the public sector jobs so badly when he is in a 785 member parliament that is much larger than it needs to be imo.Cut that shit down to 300, and lets see if he's still bitching when he has to hustle to get a nomination from his party for the election.

Yes, countries with parliamentary systems similar to that of Britain are awesome.

The actual meetings in the House of Commons meetings are full of awesome, yet I call into question the amount of productivity that comes out of most of these meetings.

The Republican Party sure doesn't have the moral authority to say anything similar.

aaaaaaaaaaaand who else is surprised Obama gets mentioned in a snide comment?

It's crazy that there is such hatred for the guy already. Oh well I think I'll give the guy a bit more time before I write him off as the biggest ever criminal and degenerate in American history, because boy oh boy does the right want to label him as such.

people dislike him for a couple of reasons, mostly because he was in charge of finances for the last 10 years and now the economy has gone tits up it hasn't gone down well. Also he's not considered by many to be a great face for the country, he's quietish, shy, reserved and people don't get a feel-good factor from him. Personally I don't know what the point is because there isn't a single politician who I'd trust to be PM right now.

nah mate, I'm just a cricket fan & paying homage to one of the finest players around, who's just bamboozling the english yet again (shivnarine chanderpaul) and the last 2 games were in guyana where he played great again & they adore him. Think I have to change it to barbados for today and another ODI and then St Kitts for the final ODI I would like to visit though, it looks lovely & english is widely spoken which helps people who only know a bit of basic spanglish

I found the mention to be relevant and applicable.

Anybody who goes around saying they support a terrorist organization that's clearly on Canada's list of terrorist organizations doesn't deserve the chance to cross our border and it was a good call.

Hannan speaks again

I like that guy.

This is exactly why I never believed the Canadian coalition, that was trying to take the current government down a few months back, would succeed.
Screams for government packages and bailouts when things were only just starting to happen was a ludicrous idea put forth by the fear mongering opposition government into duping the public to put themselves back on the pedestal....ESPECIALLY when Canada, out of all the G20 countries is sitting the prettiest of them all!

All we needed was Layton nationalizing every single institution he could get his communist hands on.
