Gordo having a hard time at Davos
« on: January 30, 2009, 11:01:52 AM »
1. 0947 Gordon Brown looked angry when it turned out some dope had forgotten to turn off his mobile phone during his G20 talk - until the red-faced British PM found out it was his handset ringing. And it went off twice.

 point:


2. The BBC's Tim Weber at Davos tweets: ITN journo challenges & heckles Brown... WEF spokesman intervenes: this is a press conference not an argument

The problems arise of globalisation, but that does not mean we should end globalisation. We need to manage globalisation well

Ummm how about managing it at all! In fact can one end globalisation?

Students of political history will be aware that Harold Wilson carried on for some time AFTER it became obvious that he had dementia.

Going further back in history this country has a record of being ruled by loonies and madmen for centuries.
