So Gordon Brown is ‘Statesman of the Year’
It explains a lot. This award is going to embarrass him. It would seem to show where his priorities are!
We have been through a massive recession, which Brown, as prime minister, should have foreseen and prepared us for.
He has obviously been more focused on global events than he has been on looking after the UK. No wonder he didn't see the recession coming!
The UK is in recession, in deep financial trouble. It might show signs of coming out of recession now, but the UK now has such high debts that we all have to suffer tax increases and reduced services for years to come as a result.
Yet Gordon Brown was able to spend so much time on world events that he has got an award for it!
Brown cannot claim that he could do both jobs simply because of the deep financial mess that he has left us in. He has spent time working to save the world instead of providing full time leadership to save the UK, we have had a leader who has not been fully focused on the UK through troubled financial times.
People are going to blame him, and New Labour, for abandoning the UK for his own personal ambitions.
