    Wasn't Gordon Brown a historian - his doctoral thesis was on the Labour party

    At least he's the one consigned to history now...

    So in fact you have just completely contradicted yourself on this. FFS man............you might have a chin like an orang utan, god knows you have plenty of their other attributes, but try not to lead with it quite so blatantly. When you are being intellectually trounced by SY01, you really ought to consider hanging up your handbag!
    You are babbling on like a punchdrunk Thunderbirds puppet. Shape up!!

    He doesn't have to be popular - popular usually gets us in the tulip - he just has to make a better job of it than the previous two inept bastards!

    Maybe we should let him do the job more than a week before making any decisions. After all, the majority thought Brown was doing a good job for quite a few years.

    You profess to having numerous degrees and yet have, on many occasions, proved yourself to be a complete economic simpleton. Maybe it's not all in the education
