COMMENT: Happy Birthday, Gordon

Today is Gordon Brown's birthday, and on Twitter some people have been celebrating this with huge amounts of praise for Gordon and his political career.


Yes, really!

Gordon Brown, possibly the worst Prime Minister the UK has ever had, being praised and celebrated.

Not only did he miss several opportunities to reign in the bankers in the City of London, and sit back and do nothing about the bonus culture that is now being criticised from a sides of the political divide, but he oversaw one of the worst financial crises the world has ever seen, and simply buried his head in the sand and did little to solve the problem. Gordon has always been good at blaming others. It's never Gordon's fault. Except a lot of the problems in the UK today are his fault.

He and Blair did nothing about phone hacking back when the first rumours surfaced and, of course, he did nothing about accusations against Murdoch and News International because he risked losing the support of his nate Rupert and, therefore, his cushy job , benefits and salary.

Then, of course, there's the hundreds of thousands if deaths that he and Blair are responsible for in both Afghanistan and Iraq. The blood of many innocent civilians lies at the feet of Gordon Brown, and, sadly, while some call for Blair to be tried for war crimes they forget that the UK's involvement in illegal wars wouldn't have been possible with Gordon Brown's support and approval.
And now, having been rightly dumped by the UK electorate, he continues to screw the taxpayer by taking his MP salary while hardly ever turning up in Westminster, using rooms there to help get private work for himself and getting lots of bookings for talks, etc. Yes, in the past year he's found it hard to find time to turn up in the House of Commons but has had enough time to earn more than £1.5 million giving talks and making appearances. I wonder how his constituents haven't revolted at this.

Yes, I'd wish Gordon Brown a Happy Birthday too, but I'm sure he's perfectly happy laughing at how he's conned the UK public.
