Awesome. I'm surprised Brown had something like this in him.

So you're going to spam us with your new-found Britannia obsession for like two weeks?

Fairly impressive in terms of style, I didn't know Brown could actually deliver that kind of performance.

Well delivered, and Brown is so right that over the long term, Scotland lacks the resources to support the kind of welfare state Scots have come to know and love. Best of all is just savoring that marvelous Scottish accent. It's just so grand. Smiley

I would endorse this, if only to remember the Tories to whom they must be grateful for saving The Big Cause.

Typical campaign speech.  Our party is right, and look at all the wonderful things we have accomplished.  The other guys suck.  Not only haven't they ever delivered, but they are wholly incapable of delivering.  Vote with us, not them.

I watched it.  Not a bad speech, really, but I can't see quite what sets this speech apart from any other campaign speech by any other politician, except that he repeated himself more often.  He had maybe four minutes of material, and repeated it all three times to make it a twelve-minute speech.

That's probably okay, though, since his goal wasn't so much to sway as to get the opposition crowd  out there to vote.  In that sense, you could call it successful.  The turnout, after all, was 85%, astonishingly high by US standards.  (Not sure what a typical turnout is Scotland is.)

Anyway, "mediocre" not being an option, I voted FS.

Brown is a great, great man. It's a shame that he had to be the fall guy for the criminal Blair. I'm sure the good people of Britain are very much regretting throwing him out for that fool Cameron.

Brown could whip up a fine speech when he wanted to. He wasn't very good at retail politicking and was pretty bad at PMQ's (because Cameron is master of the cheap soundbite); but his oratory tends to have a touch of gravitas in it.

I'd rather Albion Triumphans than Ingress O'Toole.  And I suspect that even you'd rather, too.

Ironically, weren't the tools that BRTD identifies with most likely Yes supporters?

...? I can't think of many forms of Christianity more different from my "band shirted happy clappyism" than Calvinists who didn't even allow musical instruments in church until a couple years ago. But I'm not sure who Phil is referring to as "the tools that BRTD identifies with" doesn't exactly narrow it down.
