He does seem a bit heavy. We get frequent BBC newsbursts throughout the day on the public radio station I listen to in New York, and everytime I hear that baritone I think , is that Christopher Hitchens? They sound remarkably alike, but i hope your PM isn't quite as alcoholic as Hitchens, who I like/hate, depending. He seems to write seventeen articles a week here.
Gordon needs a Carla Bruni to jazz it up. probably not.

They both sound remarkably actorish .
Gordon needs a Carla Bruni to jazz it up. Uh, probably not gonna be.
One of my cousins worked at the Treasury when Gordon Brown was Chancellor. It is fair to say that he wasn't popular amongst his civil servants, largely due to his almost perpetual bad temper and rages.
My cousin told me that she was once walking down a corridor in the Treasury and became aware that GB was walking towards her. They were both alone. There was a set of doors between them, which she reached first. She held the door open and GB swept through without even glancing at her. I think that probably says quite a lot about him as a person!
He could turn around his fortunes if he launched an invasion of Zimbabwe and hanged Mugabe. Because as they keep telling us, they invaded Iraq for regime change and not the oil.....
It's incredible that the only person who's stood up to the mad bastard is Peter Tatchell, who is of course a total hero.

I don't particularly like Gordon Brown, but he was elected. He was elected in the same way as every previous Prime Minister; as an M.P. No one is ever elected to be Prime Minister, it's just the leader of the party with the majority in parliament. If you don't like the way the British political system works, you can't hang all the blame on him...
Brown is just not cut out to be PM. He is incapable of taking decisions and actually going with his gut instinct which is a prerequisite for a good leader. He never stood up to Blair even when government policy went against his principles (for instance, the Iraq War and tuition fees) and so it isn't very surprising how useless he is now. He'll just sit in number ten glowering until the Bullingdon Boys evict him in a couple of years' time.

After 10 years of TB, and 11 years of knowing that GB would succeed him, we deserved the opportunity to go to the polls and give him a mandate to serve us. He bottled it. He is quite happy to sit tight and lord it over us until 2010 knowing we can do jack-shit about it.
He is a crock. The whole thing was contrived years ago.
