Why wont he just leave important stuff alone.....Is this for real?

The former Prime Minister has agreed to join Tim Berners-Lee on the board of the World Wide Web Foundation

According to a statement Mr Brown will take on the role of advising on ways to bring affordable internet connectivity to disadvantaged regions such as Africa.

Alex Deane, a representative for the organisation, told us: "Wanting to help Africans get online is laudable. But given the enormous intrusions into privacy and freedom over which Gordon Brown presided whilst Prime Minister, he’s about the worst person to “help” new internet users. Less “education for all” – more “snooping for those who can’t escape it”.

Some days I think that the snot goblin is just insane. Other days I think that he is evil and his madness is just an act so can use it to avoid the death penalty when he finally is brought to trial.

I say top him anyway; it’s only way to make the world safer.

He's not as dangerous as Blair who has the charm to hide his complete madness. Gordo is just inept and can't hide it.

Err, if you happen to be a photocopier then he's a damn sight more dangerous than Bliar ever was.

Disagree with Gordo just being inept, I think he had a serious brain disorder which made him power hungry but without having the required bits and pieces to make that work. And not all his decisions were so bad - making the Bank of England independent for example. However I can't think of any other examples.....
