Gordon Brown ponders other people's courage

Poor Gordon. Not even published yet and Amazon has had to drop the price of his new book from £16.99 to £11.21.

I'm not suprised - why would you buy a book on courage from a man who forces his colleagues (notably Dawn Primarolo) to take responsibillity for his mistakes? As Mark Hoban once said when Primarolo was again forced to take the rap for the tax credits mess: "Will the Honourable but not Gallant member answer this question?"

Gordon's latest fib - EU rebate

Fresh from making an Ed Balls of lying about his supposed advice from the CBI to increase the tax on pensions, it would seem Gordon has done it again this time on the UK's EU rebate.

Reuters have put out an article that stated that Gordon has secretly agreed to surrender the UK rebate in return for the French allowing him to implement an anti avoidance device called the "reverse charge". Strangly (or not) this was agreed on March 19 just before GB's Budget. Questions were asked at the time as to what was given away, some thought a farm deal, some the open skys deal now the truth is out.

"If the British tabloid press gets hold of this, London may change its mind," the diplomat said.

Let's hope so - but how much money did Gordon's lack of influence with the French cost? £3 billion a year.

Gordon is a Moron

Gordon is a moron, apparently...

Stalin? Moi?
