Subhumanity

[fpb]

Gordon Brown, Britain's current Prime Minister, was apparently caught on movie camera performing an act so revolting (though small) that I cannot bring myself to describe it. (It is however apparently easy to find on YouTube or the like.)

Gordon Brown is insisting, against sanity and decency, to force through Parliament a law that would permit human/animal hybridization for experimental purposes.

Why is it that I see a connection between these two facts?

...picking his nose?
That's what Google suggests, anyway.
You can't bring yourself to say "picking his nose"?
It's gross and all, but that's somewhat overdramatic.

It's what he is supposed to have done with the remains.

Maybe it's just me, but I've always found picking and eating to be less awful then the common practice of flicking the booger away, to contaminate hapless passerby. Both things are rude to do in public and revolting to watch, don't get me wrong.

...and if you are the leader of a country and have millions of people watching you?

Besides, the way I heard it, he did both - smear some of it on his tie, and - this is repulsive - swallowed the rest.

Sorry, I really cannot bear the thought. What did God make handkerchiefs for, anyway?

What, nose-picking? That's the first video that comes up when you search for "Gordon Brown" on Youtube. (The second video is of his hands shaking "with fear" during a Commons confrontation.)

Without wanting to repeat myself, the matter has been covered upthread. And when I say revolting, I mean revolting.

Hahaha, I wouldn't say subhuman to that. But don't children normally grow out of it?!

NO, I would say subhuman to the appalling law he is trying to force through Parliament.

Oh dear. That is pretty darn revolting. I feel so embarrassed for him.

This is shocking to you?

Brooooouuuuuunnn eats his bogies, Rudd in Oz eats his earwax.

It's precisely what I expect from the Left.

AAAAAKKK! TMI!

And we do things differently in Italy - including the left.
