Gordon Brown has now quit, and bearing in mind the state of the economy, many are quite glad of the change. However, unlike some others, I don't regard him as a complete prat. Why not? Before he became prime minister we had several thousand troops in Iraq, and now we only have a few dozen military advisers and trainers. It was Gordon Brown who oversaw the concentration on Basra airport and then the final withdrawal. So, happy retirement Gord, I hope David Cameron can do the same thing in Afghanistan.
