    I do like Gordon Brown. At least he sticks to his principals.

    Gordon Brown, 2009 before election results: "I will NOT join the lecture circuit".

    Gordon Brown, 2009, months after the election "I require a 5 star hotel, $100,000, business and first class seats when flying, whens the venue?".

    To be fair on him, he is worth the money, after all he did save the world.
