    I didn't like GB, or support him.

    But I thought his resignation speech had dignity. I also thought he looked a relieved man.

    If by bust you mean the World financial meltdown - that was caused by the Americans and not by Gordon Brown.

    Anyway, that's enough from me. Enjoy.

    I don't like Brown much (he's a snivelling little so and so) but even I felt sad at his speech.

    Although why he didn't do that yesterday and started a whole massive campaign to make Clegg look like a cheap harlot is beyond me.
