I see today that an economically illiterate, inarticulate goon with the communication skills of a baboon has been made UN Special Envoy for Global Education.
It is none other that the idiot responsible for creating a semi-educated, illiterate, innumerate generation of NEETs in the UK. None other than Dr James Gordon Brown.
I mean, only a bunch of complete idiots can have come to the conclusion he is the right man for this job, or any job, come to that!!

inarticulate goon indeed

FEEG, you barsteward. 🙂 I was having a nice quiet day (despite Ethel’s increasingly unladylike language echoing up from Der Bunker and a disturbing red glow in the sky last night – enough to disturb any gentlewolf’s equilibrium) until I saw this and now my fur has gone all frizzy. WTF kind of job is ‘UN Special Envoy for Global Education’? He’ll have even less impact that B-liar in his ‘Special Envoy to the Middle East’ non-job.
“The former Labour prime minister will help “galvanise support” for the UN’s global education scheme, which aims to give every child access to quality teaching.” It’s in English, granted, but WTF do these words MEAN? Look, if the fekker was any good, the fekker would have tried that at home first when he was the unelected prime minister of the Untied [sic] Kingdom, which he didn’t.
They say it’s an unpaid post. Yeah, right! Lots of taxpayer-funded international travel though, the best hotels, limo convoys and, most importantly, keeping his snout in the trough and staying in the loop. He’ll be saying next that he’s doing it purely for humanitarian/altruistic reasons.
Fekkers all.

One can only paraphrase the great Basil Fawlty where this goon is concerned- “He’s from Kirkcaldy.”
Pronunciation explanation for southrons. Say it as Kir-caudy.
Echo no 2!
Please, please, please, can we have Armageddon now please? I just so want to live long enough to see the trough upended.
Can we hang them from lamp posts please?
All of them in festoons.
TR, I remember a poem from my childhood which ended with the lines:
“I can tell very well
By the queer-like smell
That the next stop’s Kirkcqldy.”
No, I said “inarticukate goon indeed.”
I know. I corrected my finger trouble 🙂
Just read a comment elsewhere that even unpaid is overpaid 🙂
The prosecution rests.
Bleugghhh

I can’t wait to see that sickening false grin in the news again.
I’m no admirer of the former PM, but he is far from inarticulate.
David, like the good son of the manse that he is, he can imbibe passages of socialist scripture and regurgitate them at will. Bur don’t ask him for an original thought.
I beg to differ. He could only churn out socialist garbage and tractor factory statistics and was about as inspiring as Corporal Jones in Dad Army!.
