I have been reading an article in the Times to-day about him. I have always admired him for his ethics and commitment to good causes but I did not realise how far this went . The Brown family live off his MP pension ( I am sure it is not small ) but he refuses to take and salery from the other roles he has . All the profits from his books go to good causes as well . What a contrast to Tony Blair , if either of them deserved a knighthood it should have been Gordon Brown . By the way I am not a labour supporter .

Margaret Thatcher sold off water, gas, transport etc. Michael Heseltine was proud that he filled in the mines with concrete. Although I am not a Tory ( nor am I a Labour voter) I feel more disappointed that a Tory government sold off our reserves. Now, we have nothing to rely on . Surely even a child knows you need to keep something back. I can't be critical of Gordon Brown as in comparison his act was nothing like that of the Tories in the 80's.

I have always been an admirer of his ethics and integrity.

What a contrast to what we are saddled with.

Integrity ... what is this thing? Ah .... yes .... I remember - it was what leaders once had.
