Doublespeak alert

[mada85]

Britain's leader-in-waiting Gordon Brown pledged on Friday to put "citizens in control" and end personality-driven politics if he was elected to take over from his charismatic predecessor Tony Blair.

The pathocracy are technically citizens, and they are and will be in control. And as for personality-driven politics, I suppose that someone with the personality of a wet flannel would want to end it – it'll get rid of the competition (hopefully)…

"This is the 21st century progressive view: the citizen in control. Being served, not told, by government. A servant state."

Can you believe the chutzpah of the guy? A rough translation from doublespeak into English:

This is the 21st century. People had better get used to the idea that we are in control. Citizens? Ha! Don't make me laugh. You are here to serve us. You are our slaves.

…greater economic development and political reconciliation to give all Iraqis a stake in their future.

A greater stake in a future of depleted uranium, torture and death at the hands of US and UK mercenaries and hit squads…I bet the average Iraqi is simply rubbing their hands with glee at the generosity and good will of the western governments.

"Britain and America will always be friends, and I know that we will work very, very well with Gordon Brown when he becomes prime minister," Rice said on BBC radio.

Coming from Condolizard, that sounds like a threat.
