    What's Gordon been up to

    since saving the world (twice).

    BBC News - Gordon Brown earns £1.4m since leaving Number 10

    The title is not the worst thing in the post either:

    His predecessor in Downing Street, Tony Blair, reportedly earns some £12 million a year on the lecture circuit and from other posts.
    I bet that pees him off....

      I thought his speeches were often quite sensible, it was just everything he actually did that was rubbish, although quite why anyone would pay him for them I have no idea.

        There is nothing that you could say to me now that I could ever believe.

        So apt.

            Some £997,000 in fees and about £293,000 in expenses have gone to the Browns' office which they set up to fund campaigns on issues such as improving education and cutting maternal death rates in the developing world.

              Who is stupid enough to give him money? A bad chancellor(spend spend spend) and a diabolical prime minister.

                Actually , if you dig a little deeper, all of Brown's non-Parliamentry earnings are going to charity, either directly or through his own work. Unlike Bliar's mostly tax-free millions. Also Blair resigned as an MP to earn his money in camera, whereas Brown's are all fully disclosed in the Register of Interests.

                Brown was a flawed politician and a supremely incompetent Chancellor and PM, and someone I wish had never got anywhere near the reigns of power but he is one of the few totally honest ones.

                  whs. A well meaning mental retard who hated the English, unlike Blair the antichrist.

                    How can you say he was honest when he came out with all that guff about avoiding boom and bust, and house prices?
