Copenhagen climate summit: Gordon Brown pledges £1.5bn to European fund
Gordon Brown has said Britain will pay £1.5 billion to a European Union
climate change project despite the British recession and his
Government’s huge deficit.
By James Kirkup, Political Correspondent
Published: 5:48PM GMT 11 Dec 2009
At an EU summit in Brussels, the Prime Minister offered to pay the money
into an EU fund intended to help poorer countries to cut their carbon
emissions. The offer will make Britain the largest contributor. France
and Germany each promised around £1.2 billion to the EU fund, which
will be worth around £6.5 billion in all.
Mr Brown had previously signalled the UK contribution would be £1.2
billion. Officials said the Prime Minister offered the extra £300
million in an attempt to break a deadlock in the EU over climate change
finance.

Erm... do you know what 'UK' stands for? An English political office
maybe, it's a point of view, but a 'UK' one is a contradiction in terms.

there are 533 English MPs,

And 18 N.Irish MPs
At Westminster.
Yet idiots like you think the Scots are dominating parliament.Even in the
cabinet there are more English than all others put together.
There is no chance that the Scottish voters put Labour in power we actually
elected fewer MPs than the Labour majority and as it is the MPs who elect
the PM it was Englanders who elected Brown as PM. You got what you wanted
and you got what you deserved. Don't blame us for you did it all by
yourselves.

numpties cannot tell the difference between England, The UK of GB and NI and

A classic Scotch character weakness, go along with the majority provided
it (1) does not cost the Scotch anything and (2) disadvantages England.

Or being in a position to wield any authority, political or otherwise.

Without putting too fine a point upon it I would think this one has no clear
idea of the actual situation.
I wonder if the poster actually knows the minimum qualifications to become a
Member of the Westminster Parliament?
I also wonder if the poster knows just who, or what, are allowed to stand as
a candidate in a UK constituency?
In any case the facts speak for themselves.
There are 533 English MPs.
59 Scottish MPs,
40 Welsh MPs
As the English outnumber all others put together it was the English who
elected the government.
Not only that but the state of the parties is -
Labour 350,
Conservative 193,
Lib/Dems 63,
SNP 7,
Plaid/C 3
DUP 9,
inn Fein 5,
SocDems 3,
ind 5.
and about 5 others.
Even in the Cabinet there are far more English MPs than Scots.
It is obvious the stupid person is almost 100% ignorant of how the United
Kingdom is run.
I would think the idiot probably thinks Gordon Brown, single handed, has
cause the World Wide Recession and is the person who, single handily, made
all the banks and financial institutions in the World fail.

Scotch is not sentinent, therefore can not do anything of the sort.
Scotch is an amber or light amber liquid of varying degrees of
alcholoic proof.

Now just for you, a you're new here, Scottish is contracted to Scots when it
refers to the Scottish people.
However, the term, "scotch", is correctly used for produce of Scotland, (you
could thus have saved yourself the bother of typing out all those examples
that proved nothing.
By the way, "Burchfield", had something to say on that matter.
However, many of the numpties,who post abuse to the Scottish newsgroups, are
so dim that they have failed to comprehend what Burchfield actually wrote.
They missed seeing a full-stop and thus got it all wrong. Just for you, the
term Scotch, as applied to the Scottish people became obsolete and redundant
in the early 19th century.

Burchfield [1] has some interesting things to say on this topic:
Scotch. Scots, Scottish. It is not pos-
sible to set down here all the complica-
tions of this somewhat sensitive group
of words. The adjective Scotch, in origin
a contracted variant of Scottish, 'had been
adopted into the northern vernacular
before the end of the 18th c.; it [was] used
regularly by Burns, and subsequently by
Scott' (OED). But 'since the mid-19th c.
there has been in Scotland a growing
tendency to discard the form altogether,
Scottish, or less frequently Scots, being
substituted' (OED). Scots is also a long-
standing variant of Scottish. The outcome
is that all three adjectives are still cur-
rent, but Scotch is the least frequent and
survives mainly in certain collocations,
e.g. Scotch broth, Scotch egg, Scotch mist,
Scotch terrier, Scotch tweed, Scotch whisky,
and a few others. Scots is the term regu-
larly used of the form of English spoken
in (esp. Lowlands) Scotland. It also occurs
in the names of certain Scottish regi-
ments. But the all-embracing general ad-
jective meaning 'of or relating to
Scotland, its history, its day-to-day life,
or its inhabitants', is Scottish. These are
middle-class preferences. 'Paradoxically,'
A.J. Aitken reports in OCELang. (1992),'for
working class Scots the common form
has long been Scotch ... and the native
form Scots is sometimes regarded as an
Anglicized affectation.' Outside Scot-
land, and esp. outside the UK, Scottish
preferences are less well-known. Scotch is
likely to occur, both as adj. and noun, in
contexts which middle-class Scots would
regard as either droll or improper.
