Find out if it is possible to develop a Java application which leverages the Google Web Toolkit and Google APIs and deploy it on Google App Engine. That would be an immensely useful piece of kit!

GORDON IS A MORON!

June 24th, 2009

gordon-moron

Not my words, but those of Vernon Coleman in his book “Gordon is a Moron: The Definitive and Objective Analysis of Gordon Brown’s Decade as Chancellor of the Exchequer”. Initially I thought the title was a bit strong. However, after reading the book my opinion of Gordon and his cronies in government has certainly changed.

 

 

 

From the author:

“I wish I hadn’t had to write this book.
I wish everything in it was wrong; a figment of my imagination.
I wish we could trust the professional politicians and let them get on with running the country for us, so that we, in turn, could be allowed to get on with our lives.
Sadly, I will show in this book precisely how Gordon Brown has destroyed Britain and made us especially vulnerable to the coming oil apocalypse.”
Vernon Coleman

Some Reviews:

"At last, an easily digestible, straightforward exposition of all that is Gordon Brown. Why…has no one in the media charted the cataclysmic damage caused by this dour control freak in a way that makes clear what has happened? Read it and weep."
(Reviewer on Amazon)

"Coleman’s collection of the stupid things our chancellor-turned-PM has done or overseen, and the side effects of his dealings in the finances of this country, make for an alarming read."
(The Independent)

"If you want to know the damage that the Moron has done to the economy of Britain, this is the book you should read. A page turner filled with factually backed accusations. The effect of Gordon Brown’s actions on the finances of his country, its institutions and its Constitution are all examined and picked apart. There is little here for your comfort but much for your ammunition pouch. No wonder this book is being sold at a premium - £25 per copy as opposed to the publisher’s price £9.95 each and £25 for 10"
(Reviewer on Amazon)

Get your copy NOW and you will learn the real, unexpurgated truth about Brown. You will be shocked. Things are much worse than you thought they were. By knowing what really goes on in the Government will you be best able to protect your future.
