    If you googly "Defending Gordon Brown", the first (of 250) result is:

    "I think defending Gordon Brown would be a bit like defending Goering at Nuremberg."

    Admittedly, he screwed up massively while chancellor, but he's proved himself to be so inept and incapable of being prime minister that I'm starting to feel a bit of sympathy for a man clearly out of his depth who just doesn't know what do do next.

    Maybe it's too much beer
    Even Brown's drinking too much beer doesn't excuse his abysmal performance.

    Is this some sort of trolling? He squandered a great economy and pension position. He could have saved during the good times - instead he let household debts soar to record levels. Government debts are still far too high.

    And a bit of is suitable punishment for him? What about all the misery that he has unleashed(so far - let alone the future)? I hope someone can suggest something suitable for him...

    I know what you mean, it's a tragedy, bit like watching a car crash. But when they carry on passing awful laws I lose sympathy.
