I am afraid they are oscar. Everyone knows this here. Ruthless is the word that does best describe them.

It would seem I hold Richard Nixon in more honor than you do. I'd rate him as one of the ten greatest Presidents the US ever had. I agree he's easy to mock. Nevertheless he worked hard on behalf of his country and achieved much in the process.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was a lawyer.

The one man who is making that change and will continue to make it happen is Gordon brown.. Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Oscar, I must agree that Gordon Brown is quite a Leader and is far from being the little Brownnoser you had before.
I am convinced he will be the one that will return Brittania to it's original state in Europe. But.....
Let's not forget John Howard, the honorable Prime minister of Australia who openly voiced out to protesting immigrants that if they didn't like the Aussie way of doing things to get the hell out of the country and added that Australians will never adapt to the Immigrants but the immigrants will have to adapt and learn the language: English !!!!
He also told Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law to pack up and get out of Australia as the government would target them as Radicals in a bid to head off Potential terror attacks.
He added that Australian government agencies will monitor activities in the nation's Mosques and that if they didn't like it to get OUT !
That my friend is a Leader in my book and I think Gordon Brown is of the same breed.
Right now I'm living in Canada for reasons explained in earlier posts but I'll tell ya one thing, Stephen Harper PM of Canada is another American Brownnoser like Sarkosy and your little English Poodle that lost the last elections....
Diplomacy..is the ability to Smile until you find a Big Rock !

Thankyou for that. I have to keep reminding my fellow countrymen that although Gordon brown is Labour.. He is not Tony Blair. There was a bitter fued for at least 2 yrs between Blair and Brown. Brown only had two alternatives, one to stick it out and force Blair out or two, resign and possibly bring down the government.
Gordon Brown has shown remarkable Leadership over the past months and at last, we have a Prime Minister who has put the 'Great' back into Great Britain. He is Internationally admired (and feared, but that's alot to do with his Scottishness), and respected.
I agree with you about John Howard. I remember the speech well. Gordon brown is getting tough on Immigration and as to be expected, the 'Blairites' of this country are accussing him of being rascist. He recently said, 'To curb immigration is to be sensible, not racist.
For those who are not aware of the much admired John Howard speech, it is as follows:
"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.
This culture has been developed over two centurie's of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak mainly English, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society: LEARN THE LANGUAGE!!!
Most Australians believe in god. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.
It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If god offends you, then i suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because god is part of our culture.
We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.
This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining and griping about our flag, our pledge, our Christian beliefs, our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom;
'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.
If you arn't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted".
AMEN

My mistake. He was the last Prime Minister here to lose a general election, that's all.
