Gordon Brown and Pakistan PM hold anti-terror talks

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8392211.stm


	Quote: He then pledged £50m to help Pakistan achieve the "long-term stabilisation" of the border region.

He means he hired them for £50m (and the money's likely to be diverted even then)...

Re: Gordon Brown and Pakistan PM hold anti-terror talks

I don't like the title of this article. It should either be "Gordon Brown and Yousef Raza Gilani" or "British PM and Pakistani PM". The way it is places Gordon Brown in a more ideologically dominant position.
Shame on the BBC. Again.

He's just that cool :lol:

Flash! Woo oooh...

No, the BBC site has definitely been on the slide recently, and increasingly it feels like they're just copying and pasting press releases :oops:

Hang on - where'd we find £50m to give away? I thought we were broke?
