Great piece in todays Mail by Litlejohn about the Bottler
Return of the man who saved the world
Three years ago, Gordon Brown boasted that he had ‘saved the world’ from financial meltdown. He embarked on a deranged global tour that ended up in Brazil, where he had his photo taken with Pele.
Three years later, the world is back on the edge of the economic abyss. So you might have thought he would be offering his advice.
In Britain, this is Gordon’s recession. We’re in the Brown stuff as a result of his ruinous and profligate economic policies.
His decision to sell our gold at car boot sale price was criminally negligent. And he deliberately laid the ground for public sector strikes after he was booted out of office.
Yet there has been no sign of him. I had thought about reactivating the search party when he suddenly made a surprise appearance in the Commons.
Was he there to talk about fiscal responsibility, quantitative easing or Post Neo-Classical Endogenous Wossname?
No, his mission was to ask the MoD to ‘fund remediation work’ to prevent radiation risk in Dalgety Bay, Fife, which happens to be in his constituency.
It was the first time he had crawled out from under his stone since the summer, when he emerged briefly to take his revenge on Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper group.
How the mighty are fallen.
The world is just going to have to save itself without him. Somehow, I imagine, we’ll manage.
