Brown Baffles Belfast
The great saviour of the union, Gordon “Britishness” Brown, has left Northern Ireland having failed to convince the Northern Irish government to take on devolved police and justice powers.
The MP for Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath made it his mission to devolve police and justice to the Northern Irish government even though they didn’t want it and failure to come to an agreement would likely bring down the executive.
Britishness Brown was joined by the Irish Prime Minister to save the day, save the peace deal, save devolution and save his reputation. The day wasn’t saved, nobody knows what’s going to happen with the peace deal, devolution is looking a bit iffy and he’s plumbing new depths with his reputation.
His dedication to insulating the celts from the British government’s disastrous policies on health, education, transport, environment, police, justice culture, sport, business, etc is admirable. Sadly he doesn’t extend that same dedication or courtesy to the English, instead he puts an equal amount of effort into keeping England as the personal fiefdom of the British Prime Minister and the English people disenfranchised.
Britishness Brown has returned to his fiefdom leaving the Northern Irish government divided and apparently 48 hours from collapsing. Of course, the simplest solution is to take the decision out of the hands of the politicians and put the question to a referendum but then they might come up with the “wrong” answer.

Yesterday it was Northern Ireland, today it’s Afghanistan…… I wonder what the great Jonah will bugger up tomorrow?
