Reply to: Gordon Brown on TV today

Brown seems more upset about the details of his son's condition being leaked than his son's condition.

now thats a stretch.

Its possible to have a grievous situation made worse by having it made public knowledge.

attack Brown by all means , fair and foul, but leave his kids out of it

[OwlHoot]

I suspect he is hitting the booze, really hard.

Ironic if so because it's said that when he turned up to parties as an undergraduate, booze was the one thing he didn't have in his carrier bag - It was a brick.

They may not have gotten the info from phone hacking, but that doesnt really matter.
what matters is that they published it

thats a bit cr@p really

"In the public interest" is the line that gets used often. Do I think Wayne Rooney pumping a fat slapper is in the "public interest"? no.

Do I think the person running the country's finances has a child with a debilitating disease requiring constant medical attention is of "public interest"? yes.

I kind of feel sorry for Brown, not because he got royaly shafted by his party and the electorate but because he was allowed to get away with being a bully for so long and his personality got warped.

I do not believe for one second they hacked his phone to find out his son's condition, doctors will not leave messages of diagnosis on answering services and I doubt people were phoning him up and leaving messages on the lines of "Hi Gordon it is Tony, can you get those figures to me, sorry to here your son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis"

Someone get Gok Wan on the phone and tell him we have a job for him.

Bloated, with a clammy, sallow complexion. Lank greasy hair.

He always looked like that, didn't he?

[xoggoth]

his heart was in the right place

So was Chairman Mao's, we are always told. What's fifty million dead if people have integrity?

Give me corrupt self servers like Blair and Mandelson anyday, generally they do far less damage than the idealists with their impractical ideas of human society.

[xoggoth]

Seemd very blotchy. Reminded me of Tom Hanks in Philadelphia the other night. Hmmm.

[KentPhilip]

God, doesn't he look awful?

Maybe at last he is starting to get the message..

Still in some ways his heart was in the right place, wanting to help the downtrodden in society etc.. (though at what cost!)

Maybe now's the time to let him back into the bosom of our hearts again

[Fred Bloggs]

The thought of watching the idiot makes me want to vomit.

[TimberWolf]

I doubt Gordon has much to hide, aside from his insanity. Blair on the other hand is one person who should have been bugged above all others. What a disgrace.

[amcdonald]

Gordon Brown on a TV ?, I thought rent boys were more his thing...

[MarillionFan]

Is he Richard Cranium?

No. Gordon still earns money is funny and has a personality.
