Default Thank god, he's gone

It's was quite surreal watching Brown, wife and kids walk out of the door at number 10 and down the road. Don't they have any luggage?

My mistake - they've just gone to see the queen.

This may be Labour's last piece of political strategy as Cameron has not finished his deal and he has to form a minority government by being forced by Brown to accept to job of PM.

The negotiating chips have been moved around the table somewhat by this move.

Interesting.

Wont be missed, never did anything good so will be difficult for anyone (even PSL) to look back on his Pmship in fondness.

Forgotten already.

Still an MP though, isn't he? So...........a highly paid backbencher?

And if anyone believes he won't sell out for big bucks, they are naive to a fault!

I don't think he will - he is nothing like Blair.

It would seem likely he will resign as an MP and move into charity work.

I thought he was leaving politics all together? I could be wrong though.

PM's pension isn't too shabby, although I can't see him doing as well as Tone on the after dinner speeches circuit

he commenced the systematic destruction of this country when he was CotEx, he finished the job as the prime minister.

Good riddance to bad muck.

I am however impressed with his intentions to work on the charitable scene rather than do a TB and chase the sheckle at every cost.

Paul, WTF has that got to do with someone who said 'if New Labour get reelected in 2005 I am emigrating'?

However seeing as you asked.

Outside the exclusion zone, heading away, poorly armed, barely seaworthy and in an agreed lull in the proceedings between both sides to consider a Peruvian backed peace plan.

A plan that would have seen an end to hostilities and of course no election victory for Thatch

Even someone as blinkered as you can see that was morally a war crime surely?

Just because Argentina and the captain of the ship later said it wasn't makes no difference when you see the motivation for them saying that some 14 years later. Ask the average Argentinian what they think. Oh sorry, they are all Johnny Foreigners to you and hence their opinion is worthless of course
