We're all in the same boat, US, UK, and the rest of the world. Gordon Brown took my money, I earned more during his tenure than any other chancellor, and he spent way too much of it on war, whilst allowing Tony Blair to hand over our privately run services to American business tycoons. Therefore, I don't like him. People see him as change, but as far as I am concerned if he can't handle Tony Bliar, the how is he going to handle the rest of the country. If he can't speak out when he is supposed to then he is not fit for leadership.
