How innovative! Combining your speech with your daily stroll.
I know this wont be a popular opinion here on UA-cam, where the only adult's willing to comment on video's seem to be hardline communists or immigrant obsessed neo nazi's, but in my opinion this man is a rather formidable public speaker, and a skilled politician with the countries best interests at heart. Its a pity he was defeated.
here here, he stands among the great underrated leaders who achieved much despite the odds against him... think callaghan and labours tiny majority at a time of oil crisis, think Attlee and his post war debt, think gordon brown and the disastrous events of the financial crash.
If soundbites and vacuous statements are your thing I guess.😒
Phil B He's a reasonable public speaker. I disagree with the rest.
Wow, nine likes for the comment about soundbites. Do you not consider any of new labours achievements worthwhile? Do you think Brown is particularly self interested? I would agree with anyone who says Blair became twisted and corrupt, and now gives speeches for thousands. But Brown always had more dignity than that
Phil B See my comment above.
.... Jeremy Corbyn it is then.
***** Correction, poll (not crystal ball) today shows those interviewed both believed he will improve Labour's chances of winning in 2020 and also worsen those chances, more than any of the other candidates.
In other words, he is the most "polarising" candidate in this respect, as ComRes, that carried out the poll, put it.
***** that depends whose poll you read.
Chult Ampala If Blair and Brown wanted to derail Corbyn they should have gave him their full backing.
Jim McIntosh Haha, their egos are too big for that. I refuse to listen to their lies any longer. The lengths to which this slander campaign is prepared to go only displays how deep the poison runs in Westminster. Their greed knows no bounds. They are scared.
I feel like more things are said here that promote Corbyn than oppose him...
sounds accidentally pro Corbyn.
No one can touch Jeremy Corbyn because he is honest. People just want honesty.
As honest as a weather cock can be I suppose
Brian Mchugh Do you have a particular theme in mind?
Brian Mchugh I've known him over the decades and he is as much a signpost as any signpost can be.
I'd take a lying neo facist over an honest bearded leftie any day.
Raymond Porter Honesty doesn't mean anything in this world anymore. Society is too corrupt, as corrupt as politics, and politics is corrupted by money. It's never going to change really. Revolution is only real solution.
I must admit, he's a good speaker, I enjoy listening to him. Even if I do disagree with many of his beliefs politically.
***** I hate looking at and listening to him.
What a wonderful speech, I was asleep in no time. I dreamed that a man who lost an election spoke to me about how to win an election. I woke up laughing. Yes a truly great speech that has inspired me to vote for Jeremy Corbyn
zaygezunt Hahahaha. This is comedy gold :D. Vote Corbyn :D
NotoriousPyro Thanks. In fact I voted JC today!
+zaygezunt
I hope you get a place in the cabinet. Minister for Comedy Gold.
Well...............
all these people in the comments from four years ago really thought corbyn was gonna win an election, huh?
I am bored of the BS that is the new Labour. I can see past the spin.
So you like old labour then ? :)
It's a mistake to confuse immigration and globalisation (which he discusses from 33.00 on) - China, Japan and S Korea are part of the global economy but have virtually no immigration. He has nothing to say on the subject, apart from disliking anti-immigration sentiment, "xenophobia" and nationalism (i.e. patriotism).
***** "Chinese nationality law operates mainly on the basis of jus sanguinis ("right of blood")... During the Fifth National Population Census of the People's Republic of China (2000), only 941 naturalized citizens not belonging to any of China's recognized 56 indigenous ethnic groups ... were counted in China's mainland." (From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationality_law_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China)
Gordon outlines what labour is all about perfectly. If you want to know what the Labour Party is..... This is it. Whether it implements these beliefs well is debatable but I love their fundamental beliefs
Gordon is a great speaker. If he stood for leadership he would probably win but why wasn't this speech made by one of the candidates?. They have not communicated in this quality because they are simply not good enough. Only Jeremy puts forward a leaders ideology and I'm afraid the other candidates are just not of the same quality.
😂😂Broon could win??? 😂😂😂😂😂 ...In what reality of time and space would that be? 😂
drinkrealale Brown, a great speaker? Don't think so. And why all that stalking up and down like a caged animal? Must be how him and the rest of the Blairites are feeling just now!
stalking up and down like a caged animal?
drinkrealale Yes.
"stalking up and down like a caged animal" - I have no idea what you are talking about, what you say makes no sense at all.
Gordon Brown giving a speech about "Hope" is akin to Rod Stewart singing "We are Sailing" on the Titanic...
Steven Delahunty He's just being wheeled out by the establishment, to play a part, just like he was with the Scottish Referendum. I'm sure he's nicely rewarded.
Steven Delahunty He does that. He published his book "Courage" right before he chickened out the election
He must've walked about five miles throughout the course of this speech. Pity he is backtracking.
Peter Hastie Anti-sniper training.
Peter Hastie 3 actually it was on the news
"There's only one word to describe it: our hearts are breaking"
If I was in that crowd, I'd have been powerless to stop myself saying:
"Listen Gordon, will you stop walking around so much? I'm getting whiplash. Also, vote Corbyn."
Gordon Brown talks of making a difference NOT just a noise - all Labour's policies are about making noises (especially in opposition) but when elected they make little difference Certainly not IRREVERSIBLE differences. (Does the Labour Party actually know what irreversible means?)
He calls for a broadening deepening reaching out for support - from independents, from right wing groups ? - We have witnessed their reaching out with a pink van and limited edition shopping bag offers - how about embracing new ideas and actually talking about the issues that effect working people.
He states that PURE but IMPOTENT society desires should be shelved in favour of what ?
‘HOPE’ wrapped up in ELECTABLE MEALY MOUTHED HALF promises which are forgotten once elected. We have all experienced these policies, time and time again. Ever increasing taxes and social cuts for the poor in order to maintain the power of the wealthy elite -
Can it really be so surprising that Corbyn is actually being listened to ?.......
Labour will always be a party that's repressing its real views. This may be naive but I think that we need to be firm for the people and stand up for our beliefs, surely then people will support us. He's acting like everyone who voted UKIP and Conservative are hard core right wingers. Most of the population is confused and fed up of career politicians with views pandering to each others beliefs. The popularity of election campaigns are almost as much about image as they are about policy's (UKIPs rise for example) it's sad but this is what confusion does. People are uniformed and angry, they need a leader who passionately believes in the views they express. These arguments about the support of the people are ridiculous. We need to stand up for REAL labour beliefs. Then people will see what a real politician and a real party looks like.
Shambles. Labour lose election and start leadership process. Left wing candidate gets put forward by MPs (some of whom don't intend to back him) so that their entire range of voters are represented. This one left wing MP has a far better campaign than the other 3 identikits and connects with an audience and becomes favourite. At this point the right wing Blairites start to talk about coups and wheel out the old discredited ex-PMs to tell their own voters that they shouldn't elect a left-wing leader (this is Labour remember - Kier Hardie, Clement Atlee, etc). Meanwhile the right wing media who laughed at Corbyn at the start are now desperately trying to throw any scare story they can to derail the guy. Labour are totally happy if the left wing votes for them and shuts up and sticks to the back-benches but you can see here where their sympathies lie. They'd be smarter to take notice of what the electorate are telling them and stop trying to lead people. They think if they stand one step to the left of the Tories then this will be better for them but they fail to see the long term problem. Voters who want neoliberal policy will vote Tory rather than Kendall (eg) who backs govt policy and offers very little alternative, and those who don't want that won't vote for it. Meanwhile the Labour Party becomes a party that has no principles and just goes wherever it think the votes are (and judges that badly if recent history is anything to go by). They'd be better picking some principles and standing by them and stop trying to be such a broad church. Then they might be trusted more. All sincerity and principles have been focus-grouped out of them by now. Democratic and socialist are cloaks they wear to soak up votes but their manipulations and language suggests they care more for their own fortunes.
Jim McIntosh I agree with the tone of what you say. The broad church thing makes me laugh. The right wing love to use the term, but cry foul if they don't get the result they want.
Jeremy Corbyn IS your modern Keir Hardie, Gordon. Unite and get the Tories out with serious opposition.
One thing to say about that, SNP!
The Blairites are desperate. They are too vain to see that they have finally been rejected by Labour supporters. Blair, Brown, Mandelson, Campbell, Kinnock, Miliband the elder, Johnson and all the rest......all good reasons to vote for hope and vote for Corbyn.
These comments are clueless. Brown did not support corbyn. He knows the importance of prioritising labour election victories over ideological purity.
its just to weird Brown pacing about
I have been to social services of gateshead Newcastle today
I was curious as to why he spends the whole speech walking from side to side.
Watching on TV you don't get it but now I have seen still photos that show two autocues monitors at each side of the platform.
By having them placed there Gordon is trying to create the illusion that this speech is extemporized. In fact he is reading it.
All we have to work out now is who actually wrote it. My money is on Kirsty McNeil
+NSL
It's to keep himself awake. It's very cold in New Labour.
The opening bit sounds like he's supporting Corbyn
but matter is this it is family court case which is based on ordinary matter then there is no use if both partner in relation living happily in house.
now is this justice to trouble others family .if he have no interest he would have release the children from care but what kind of care when they r healthy and well and I m waiting for both in house and I have enough understand ing that I can look after my own children.thank you mr Brown master of disguies.
People rip into this man but realistically he was a very good chancellor, shame he was new labor really
Good grief. Given all the pacing back and forth he does, would hitting him in the backside with a pellet win a stuffed toy?
yes malala is not my daughter .but in my college I have a friend like her secology.
Foreign British soccer players net contribution to UK is very much less to local born and foreign nurses and doctors contributing to UK, what has labour done to increase spending for healthcare workers salary....honourable rt brown is only speaking with history and no substance.
To support rehabilitation, the labour can direct the british tobacco companies to produce 6 stick cigarette packets. It will be fair, fair progression to longevity of British offsprings lives who worked in mines and in railway connectors in singapore and malaysia. The old school British are loosing their footsteps in their own country and elsewhere.
The art of talking without saying anyway = new labour
I'm here as an ordinary member of the Labour party FLASH FLASH CLICK CLICK FLASH CLICK CLICK FLASH
you don't want allies like Hamas but are okay with allies like Israel and the US? hmmm
i'm afraid it is too late
He got it right as per
now its mean they have taken children intentionally and now they should return because from two years both partners r living normal routine life then on what point they want to raise .and as soon as dates of hearing comes near they mr imran akthar akthar akthar yes out of city.
Do not underestimate the determination of a decent man. I fear Jeremy Corbyn is Labour's Iain Duncan Smith. Under the current voting system he cannot lead Labour to back to power. If Jeremy Corbyn represents Britain's future then perhaps things are worst than we realize.
it means that all families living in uk he can keep children from anyone.
no thirteen yr girl is healthy and well intelligent and six yr boy is well and intelligent no disablties .
he got everything back even a penny back .he should understand if someone take his two sons in care how he would feel.I know they r healthy well children
a meaningful cunning person.
Why can't he stand still? I wonder if he needs to go to the toilet?
why can't the man stand still?
He's bursting for a piss.
my both children are well and healthy mind .and I m waiting for my children return.you can't make me fool.
Newcastle quay courts jj moir and now she is giving me back but foster care is after us.
this Gordon Brown is only after construction and business and money.
return my thirteen yr girl and six yr boy yes from Newcastle quay courts through social services.other wise how I brought prosperity I can bring disaster.thank you for understanding.
Im half expecting him to flop around the ground and start proclaiming "I love you more than Jesus", that would after all be a very new labour thing to do.
This defeatist waste of 10 million pounds he owns says at 8:28 "and I'm not here to attack any individual candidates" and at 10:20 he shamelessly does exactly that!! GTFO! (I listened to it at 2X speed, and still couldn't help falling asleep until I heard this outrageous skulduggery)
you crazy man I m not Benazir give me my children back.
because their biological father is average.thank you fr understanding.
wtf is with gordon brown and his pacing up and down for his 'impassioned' speeches? was the same behaviour when he came to 'better together's' rescue, lacking all eye contact, but still peppered with the politicians 'closed pointed finger' routine and fake sincerity. totally scripted and full of soundbites. brilliant stuff
Nneren Bevan, Michael Foot, Ramsey Macdonald, Harold Wilson, Nelson Mandela, Amy Winehouse, Elton John... ... ??? ... nah ... Still want Corbyn
yes my children r not involved in the gentic intelligence they r average.
Well done.Treen Brown mp
yes I know you know everything .why he took children because of his money politics .he achieved his goal .now what he want more.
you have two children .would you like to give them into Care.
Newcastle quay courts jj moir and now she is giving me back but foster care is after us.they make it a games but I m leaving we r leaving the country

+18=36 double of malala yousaf zai age.
I m thirty six yr
cant stop moving or what?
he's talking about workers marches
he doesn't even know that he hasn't stopped pacing, not once
he isn't aware that he's doing it -- he must pace all the time. Brown was always mentally ill. Labours implosion was his implosion.
What a bellend
