As if any extra evidence was needed that Gordon Brown is a ****

Gordon Brown blocked an honorary knighthood for Apple founder Steve Jobs, it has emerged.

The then-Prime Minister refused to knight Mr Jobs in 2009 because he turned down an invitation to speak at the Labour Party conference, a former senior Labour MP said.

Mr Jobs was put forward for the honour by the MP for services to technology. Apple is credited with revolutionising the industry in recent years with its iPhone and iPad devices, which have unleashed a boom in mobile internet usage.

The former MP, who left Parliament at the last election, said: “Apple has been the only major global company to create stunning consumer products because it has always taken design as the key component of everything it has produced.

“No other CEO has consistently shown such a commitment.”

Apple was aware of the proposal, he said, and it reached the final stages of approval, but was rejected by Downing Street.

“No other CEO has consistently shown such a commitment.”

"create stunning consumer products ... always taken design as the key component of everything it has produced". That's worth a knighthood?

He refused to attend Nu Liebors conference.

This country would have been much better off if everyone was like Steve Jobs.

Pakistan Daily .............

So a website in Pakistan, not linked to any actual newspaper, produces a short foul-mouthed unsubstantiated rumour about a former British Prime Minister, and that's good enough for you?

A quick glance at Pakistan Daily will give you stuff like "Bin Laden is in India", "The US is decidedly on the side of our enemies", and a gem about "Islam is peace, Islam is ease... Islam is here, so have no fear".

Convinced by all of that?

No, but even completely deluded fool can get some things rights - Brown is sure a **** who should have been working hard in new labour camp to repay massive debts he's caused to further his pathetic career.
