Gordon Brown Seeks To Resurrect The Empire

Ah, the same guy who got Britain into a record economic and currency crisis now wants to create a new "collective bilateral agreement" with the president.

Let's hope Obama doesn't fall for it.

I believe there is no challenge so great or so difficult that it cannot be overcome by America, Britain and the world working together. That is why President Obama and I will discuss this week a global new deal, whose impact can stretch from the villages of Africa to reforming the financial institutions of London and New York– and giving security to the hard-working families in every country.

Yeah, just what we need -- the same bozo largely responsible for the economic meltdown and the policies that led to it creating a "global new deal" running the world under the auspices of British Labour nanny-statism and the (waning) power of the USA.

Meanwhile, even as Gordo waxes rhapsodic about the "special unique relationship" between the USA and UK, and the growth of "globalism," a friend of mine who works as a solicitor (lawyer) in the UK tells me the work and immigration visa rejection rate for Americans seeking work or settlement in the UK is now over 70%.

Nice.

Let's provide the same welcome to this proposal by the unelected and unaccountable Labour Party leader that his Home Office provides to over 70% of enterprising Americans seeking to work or start businesses in Britain.
