And everyone must remember the veterans' gathering in Normandy a year or two ago.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View Post
I remember Brown chasing Obama through a New York hotel kitchen to try and have a word when the president "couldn't find time" for a proper summit meeting.
Brown couldn't care less, and wasn't planning to go, until the US President suddenly announced he would attend. Brown instantly changed his plans, and it turned out he would be able to find time after all.
Utterly pathetic, and shows what kind of guy he is.

That's how much the yanks thought of that particular prime minister.
