Brown’s plan for the future

Cuffleyburgers

So he finally managed to find someone who would take him?

Useless t**t.

The voters of Kirkcaldy surely couldn't give a monkey's. Being a Scottish MP is largely an honorary position - influencing legislation governing England but not - very largely - the affairs of Scotland.
The voters or Kirkcaldy aren't even paying for their MP, as even their taxes are subsidized by the English taxpayers.

"But it would be better for all concerned, especially the voters of Kirkcaldy, if he resigned his seat."

They think he already has...

Dear All

What do these three appointments signify?

I would suggest that Gordon Brown isn’t committed to being an MP and serving the voters.

He is holding this position as a means to secure employment elsewhere.

Resigning for him isn’t an option, there needs to be a law introduced that allows the people to recall MPs.

Yours sincerely

Interesting choices. Starving millions cowed under various dictatorships and Brown comes offering the world wide web.

Fortunately for Brown Queen Rania and Mr Lee have not looked too closely at Brown's record of ruining the English education system - as mentioned he has no authority in his on constituency.

So after 13yrs of destroying and "dumbing down" our yoof, destroying our nations finances, signing us over to a "Federalist" Europe this joke of a "Politician" still lands on his feet?! My god I wish I did Politics at Uni, failure like that in my work place and my backside wouldn't even touch the floor as I got thrown out.

Internet in Africa?! I'm sure they've got bigger concerns than Facebook and iTunes.

The monkies truly run the asylum.

This quivering mound of mendacity and disaster should crawl down a hole somewhere and spare the rest of humanity.

It would be better for the entire world if Brown just disappeared under the rock from where he came. He is a vile creature.

I'm curious to see if Mr Brown does get any "lucrative speaking engagements". Outside of Scotland, his name's mud.

Shame he didn't resign about 15 years ago.

...but isn't it good he is donating his royalties towards paying off the National Debt.

ummm . . . overseas aid? . . how about he tries to remedy the mess at the dusfunctional organisation discussed in the centre pages of an every-other-weekly today?

When that org. gets sorted out I might be more interested in 'Aid'.

Until then, I and many others are highly suspicious of the whole 'give to the poor' industry.

CMD certainly should be.

So much so for all his high minded sounding remarks during the campaign trail that if he lost he'd be looking to do some genuine public SERVICE work, such as working for a charity or even, forsooth, going into teaching ( as a former schoolmaster I can assure he'd last approximately two minutes in today's rabble ridden classrooms that he and his leftist clique helped create). When he mentioned charities I'm sure most folk took that to mean joining an existing needy cause, and not the usual has-been politician jumped up grandiose scheme to cloak getting rich. In this he, Blair and too many other MPs are all alike- prestige, power and money grabbing. And they wonder why we're cynical! There are far more immediate and worthy causes than these and not a penny of my money shall be going to bolster Broon's ego. As a full time MP he should be setting an example to the numerous new intakes at Westminster of proper and exclusive devotion to his constituency. Instead, hypocrisy and hype as ever...

In my experience if you are doing an important job someone will pay you to do it.
Perhaps he'll end up as one of those UN special envoys like Angelina Jolie.

What qualifications has this Sarah Brown got to co-front an ex-Prime Minister's office? I bet if Guido Fawkes put in an FoI request we'd discover she and Gordon once shared a bedroom.

So, "..writing about the World's poor". Given he created some of it here in the UK I suppose one could consider him an expert.

Gordon Brown should take a long holiday....

If he's going to bring the internet to Africa, someone had better give him a pneumatic drill.

EyeSee

I am shocked to the core. You are suggesting Brown has and is capable of, making a plan?

Senor Frizby

I expect Bobby Mugabe will be pleased to welcome a fellow deposed dictator into his fold.. especially if he come laden with cables offering free internet at someone else's expense!

alexsandr

Hmm. I bet all the starving in africa will love looking at all that russian porn!

Can we dare to hope that this control freak will, continuing in the same vein, decide that the best possible approach is a hands on personal contribution in the Dark Continent itself?

I suppose it would be wrong to hope for a plane crash.
