Anyone seen Gordon?

Brown I mean. What on earth's happened to him since he resigned as PM? No interviews, no quotes, no media appearances I know of.... Where's he gone and what's he up to?......

Another peace envoy?

I know Im on my own with this but I actually quite liked him, in a goofy way though so probably not the best man to be running the country, though I was and still am a big fan of Blairs

That's interesting.
Did you know that God told Blair what to do?

That's an interesting sig you've got there. Do you think we didn't get the first one, or do you believe the point comes across better if you shout louder?

Neither - I can help the politically deluded but getting it off my chest makes me feel better.

(If I'd really wanted to 'shout' I'd have used capitals BTW.

)

Anyway back to the topic...

Apparently, as if by magic and quite co-incidentally, Gordon's resurfaced and is taking on poverty in Africa:

A worthy cause of course but he'll have a lot more luck with that if he can get those greedy leaders who've been dipping their hands in the aid pot for years to stop doing so.

Oh why don't we have "The long walk" scenario made famous in Megacity One

We could have sent Blair, Brown, Major and Thatcher out in to the cursed earth to bring law to the lawless...

OK!!! Who spiked my tea with voddy???

And he also wishes the Government had spotted the financial crisis sooner:

No 'sorry' in the interview though...

Yeah, just a bit! I don't remember him saying it though....

Rumour has it that he's also been working on his memoirs - a weighty tome entitled "How I Saved the World"...

Anyway, let's hope he's more successful in his new 'life' than he was in his old one.
