    Can’t wait to see when police get round to arresting Brown for committing perjury while testifying under oath at Leveson.

      Indeed, Brown’s testimony is as an open and shut case of perjury as I have ever seen.

      How long will it be before he is arrested?

    If you ever wanted to know how Muhammed must have responded when he heard the word of God being whipsered in his ear (for 23 years) then you only had to listen to John Pienaar giving voice to the revelations of the late Gordon Brown, PM.

    Normally Pienaar bounces onto the airwaves with an instant analysis and interpretation of the motives and meaning behind any statement by a politician (normaly Tory)….asking us to read between the lines, to ask exactly what was ‘really’ meant….normally we get a completely diferent picture from what you might have got had you been left to your own devices and judgement to interpret what was going on.

    However here Pienaar semed strangely reticent and reluctant to upset the apple cart and delve into what was really going on…ie Brown continuing his ‘war’ against Murdoch.

    And all aided by a ‘credulous’ BBC.

    Best line must have been Brown replying to the question as to why Sarah Brown had written to Brooks thanking her for her consideration saying she was merely because she was a ‘kind and forgiving person’.

    The credulous reporting of Brown denying saying he was going to war against Murdoch is all the more astonishing…apart from well known and reliable tales of Brown’s temper and intemperate actions…there is Vince Cable’s little declaration…..so such a thing is perfectly possible…and likely.

    Brown must be considered to being very close to perjury if not actually commiting it.

    Shame the BBC don’t have the desire or guts to call him on it.

    That would be a real news story.

      They don’t have the desire or guts because he’s one of their own. Note his condemnation of Murdoch’s alleged campaign to ‘neuter the BBC’. (Was that a slip of the tongue? Neuter them of what, their biased broadcasting?)
      ‘Good old Gordon, stands up for us doesn’t he? Let’s go easy on how we report this’. Labour know damn well who butters their bread for them, and it’s not News International.
      And if he or his missus didn’t give permission for the Sun to report his baby’s illness, and if the information was gleaned in the sinsister circumstances he alleges, and if it was such a traumatic event for him (as evidenced by his edge-of-tears performance) why didn’t he complain about it at the time? Was he asked this question?
      The whole thing stinks.

    An area that the bBC make allot off is the Sun’s publ;ishing medical details of Gordon’s son. At NO POINT does Gordo claim that the told the SUN NOT to print the article. (Knowing full well that if they had, all hell would have broke loose).

      Mr. Robinson’s tweet stream for the day is an eye-opener, especially in how he viewed the start of the day…

      Brown asks big question – “Who is going to pay for quality journalism?” & suggests BBC licence fee could be used to pay for web journalism
      …to later on…
      Nick Robinson ‏@bbcnickrobinson

      First sign of danger for Osborne when Jay asks “Are you sure are about that?” – a telltale sign like “Is it your evidence?”
      The mass delusion seems pretty well embedded.
      At least Gordon was eventually prised out of the position(s) he held that were killing the country, by vote.
      The BBC, sadly, seems to have no such check or balance on its activities.
      And, Nick, there are two ends to ‘quality’.

    • As I See It says:

      Norman “but Labour say” Smith appeared to be relishing Brown’s rant rather than caricaturing it.

      Hardly surprizing. Brown suggested that the internet should be policed using the BBC licence fee as a model. God forbid.

      Amazing isn’t it? The BBC claim not to be biased in favour of the left and yet all their stanchest supporters just happen to be on the left.

    A Guardian journalist will not be prosecuted over the alleged leak of information on the phone-hacking probe, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

    It said there was insufficient evidence to charge Amelia Hill and a detective constable from Operation Weeting.

    How disappointing. The lady behind the Milly Dowler phone message deletion lie has got away with it. What special powers do the Guardian have, where legal bullets just bounce off them? They didn’t hack or leak, they just have X-ray vision.

    The way the BBC have gone after Murdoch is terrible it proves how biased they are. they only attack him because he is their main competitor. Murdoch has to make a profit to survive and his sky tv is getting bigger every year. BBC only survives though a compulsary television tax. The BBC knows that one day the licence will come to an end. How many people like paying the licence fee? Its about time there was a national campaign to end the BBC television licence.

    Did anyone notice, that when Gordon Brown said that he never had a call with Rupert Merdoch, he slipped in the caveat of AT THE TIME.

    I think Brown should have enough on his plate he’s called 3 people liars today. Rebbecka Brooks, Rupert Murdoch and Peter Mandleson.

    I don’t think they will all take it lightly. Especially Mandleson.

    • #88 says:

      …And Mandleson rubbished Tom Watson’s evidence a few weeks back. The BBC didn’t report this or Mandelson’s appearance, however.

      And tonight, the BBC are failing to mention that Brown was challenged today about Mandleson’s evidence in which he said that Brown had spoken to him about the fallout of THAT call.

      The unanswered questions from Leveson are:

      Why in 2006 did Labour do nothing about the Motorman disclosure of widespread wrongdoing in Mirror Group and Mail newspapers?

      Why in 2009 did Brown do nothing about the NoTW’s phone hacking when allegations had emerged and he had the opportunity to do so?

      Why in 2004 did the DTI (and it’s Labour Minister) not pursue Piers Morgan (Daily Mirror) despite evidence that he invested money in shares tipped by his staff (who themselves were subsequently prosecuted)

    Do you remember the day that Jeremy Hunt gave evidence to Leveson? From early in the morning we had ‘Today is the day that Hunt will give evidence’; then ‘Jeremy Hunt has just set off to go to the Leveson enquiry’; ‘Jeremy Hunt as just arrived at the Leveson enquiry’ etc etc. Now maybe I didn’t hear much news yesterday morning but I was not aware of such detail where Brown was concerned.

    Questioner: “… Did you authorise your aides to brief against Mr Blair?”
    Gordon Brown: “No”
    Questioner: “Do you think they might have done so without your explicit approval, even with your knowledge?”
    Gordon Brown: “if they did so it was without my authorisation”
    Hmmm, as Gordon Brown did not add “or my knowledge”, can we assume that is was done with his knowledge?

    I have spotted that Adam Boulton, Quentin Letts and Nick Robinson have all called Gordon Brown a liar. Guido Fawkes has a longer list.

    So what happens now?

      I have seen lots of stuff in the media suggesting that much of Brown’s evidence was scarcely credible. Was weaselly. Or was in effect a series of lies.
      Whereas Osborne’s evidence was fluent and straightforward. For instance – News Corporation’s bid to get total ownership of BSkyB caused problems for the government whichever way the decision went. Agreeing the bid would upset other broadcasters and press, blocking the bid would upset the Murdoch media. This sounded totally credible to me.

      But much of the BBC treatment seemed to be challenging Osborne’s evidence – while sanitising Brown’s performance. In particular – stress was put on Brown’s contradictions of Murdoch and Rebekah “who had stated on oath” – without posing the obvious alternate, that their evidence contradicted Brown’s evidence “on oath.

    Speaking of Gordon’s Back…
    Other than the BBC Jugend (Toenails this time rather seeking to avoid another mea culpa and steering clear of kamikaze sycophancy, mind) falling under tank tracks outside the bunker, can’t say many from the Labour Party seems to have been watching the ex-Dear Leader’s much from what I have seen & heard today.
    In fact, locating just the right spot for an ‘et tu..’ seems to have been more on the menu.
    How did this guy get to be in charge of our country again?

    The only credible thing he said was about his son and Rebekkah Wade-but because he lies about everything else, he can even lose sympathy over that!
