References to Gordon Brown

In light of Mr Clarksons description of the World's Saviour Gordon Brown as "the one eyed Scottish idiot", maybe it is time for the forum to set a generic reference to Brown for our posts.

Would you choose one of these, or maybe one of your own ??

    Isn't that David Bowie in one of his earlier incarnations?

    I like Crash as well but I have to say I find Vince Cable's comment of "The House has noticed the Prime Minister’s remarkable transformation in the past few weeks from Stalin to Mr. Bean"

    If the ramifications of Crash's actions weren't so catastrophic I'd call him Mr Bean.

    Think that was 'sold' the world. Although one is not better than the other :-)

    I'm so sick of the PC brigade, whether you agree with Clarkson or not (and I do), the guy must be given kudos for saying what he thinks......... something that is sadly lacking in public life, I'm sick of hearing politicians or anyone else who's in the public eye, lie, evade or generally mis-represent what they really think. It's pathetic.

    I like him to be known as 'The Memory', the sort of one you try really, really hard to forget
