Gordon Brown's football team | Football | The Observer

Cheers S, Not sure why I needed to know, you can always tell alot about a man by his footie team!!

 

[Brightonfan1983]

He said recently that if he were to go, he wouldn't do anything for the money; he'd find something to do to help people

i really hope he sticks to that.

 

[Rookie]

I like the bloke but just can't stand his or his parties politics/policies. Feel sorry for him in a way though was his dream job but all went a bit tits up

 

[clapham_gull]

Very dignified exit, very different from that mad old bat from the 80s whose names escapes me and funnily enough name escapes David Cameron too.

 

[Greyrun]

Everything he said was a contradiction to what he did.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

"Brown to stay on as MP for the foreeable future"

 

[London Calling]

I hated his thanking the troops after letting them down so badly.

Get real,

he obviously is greatly effected by the soldiers, the risks they take and the deaths.

If he is told the boys have the right gear - then they have the right gear,

Just don't believe the Media anti Brown crap. Itsworked and he is out.

The fact is he is a caring public servant, who cares and is more committed to looking after the poor, sick, etc than the majority of our politicians including Dave C.

 

[London Calling]

To be honest.

I hope he now settles down and spends time with his wife and his beautiful boys, one has cystitus fibrosis.

He done his public duty now do your family duty.

He is a decent ma and did not deserve the spittle from our press. Attack the policies, the projects, the programmes but his vilification was a disgrace.

 

[herecomesaregular]

A good speech, whoever wrote it... but in the end let's judge people on their actions rather than talking the talk.

and he and Blair failed miserably.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Very dignified exit, very different from that mad old bat from the 80s whose names escapes me and funnily enough name escapes David Cameron too.

A decent man who has done his best - whether that was good enough is another question.

Appallingly treated by some newspapers. Hope he enjoys watching his kids growing up out of the spotlight, he deserves peace and quiet now.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Get real,

If he is told the boys have the right gear - then they have the right gear,

There is a logic there that I am unable to follow.

 

[KneeOn]

Well done Gordon.

Even conservative supporters can see that he is a good man who genuinly cares for what he is trying to do. Good luck in the future, Labour will rise again!

 

[Gwylan]

I didn't think much of his government but he's a palpably decent man who was treated shabbily.

Interesting parallel with John Major, who was another decent man who got some shocking press. Both of them followed highly charismatic leaders and got compared unfairly with their predecessors.
