Whatever happened to Gordon Brown?

Has he got nothing to say, or is it just not reported.

  • Haven't seen him in Parliament (via Parliament Live, I mean), so I assume he is offering his constituents a very good service locally. Perhaps he doesn't really like England very much? That would explain how he managed to pretty much ruin it.

    He's probably working on his memoirs, which could potentially be quite interesting.

    Has anyone anything nice to say about the chap please?
  • He was on the BBC News a couple of days ago in a piece about the radioactive material on a beach in Fife.

    after blair decided he had had enough they built a special robot called gordon brown to take over the leadership of the labour party as all the real people were all left wing and stuff. gordon brown was deactivated after losing the election.

    Strange to report he may go down in history as the man who saved us from the Euro!

    saved us from a referendum on the Euro maybe - I don't think the country would have voted for it

    Somewhat hypercritical of him as the situation was known about from the times when he was Chancellor. He didn't show any interest then
