They work for you. Gordon Brown MP.

We've not seen much of Gordon since he left office. He pops up occasionally to shout about things that he could have had influence over when in power. The failure to clean up the radiation at Dalgety Bay for instance ( he knew about this for decades ) or the closure of Remploy factories ( Labour closed dozens when in power).

He managed to vote in 13.32% of votes in the London Parliament. So where has he been ?

After bailing out the banksters with taxpayers money he's been continuing to 'save the world'.......

I made a quick estimate of the total trousered and it comes to over a million quid.

I think it's like one of Tony Blair's foundations or something..disclaimer in the members interest register.."I am not receiving any money from this role personally. It is being held by the Office of Gordon and Sarah Brown for the employment of staff to support my ongoing involvement in public life."

Oh, he did find time to visit the opening of a new food bank in Kirkcaldy..

Scotland is the only country in the world to discover oil and end up poorer. Norway has an £800Bn sovereign wealth fund from oil and Scotland is opening food banks to feed the hungry.

'Better Together' in the United Kingdom ? Only for some.

  1. Gordon envelope party Brown should stop scrounging from the taxpayer to promote himself. Pity he can't have some morals and get his brother to warn the World of our impending meltdown.
