Gordon Brown has been given a collection of 25 classic American films on DVD as his official gift from Barack Obama.
The Prime Minister flew home from his successful trip to Washington this morning with the 'special collector's box' of films hidden in his luggage.

However, the Evening Standard discovered the truth through White House insiders.

Big whoop. My lady friend gave me the Sopranos box set with 33 DVDs for Valentines Day, and she doesn’t have the resources of the federal government backing up her purchase.

Sure shows the sad state of American production capability. Perhaps he should have given him something from Walmart to show him today’s true American way.

Good grief. DVD's? The presidential gift shop must have been out of pecan rolls and summer sausage.

Does Gordon know he’ll have to buy 3 DVD’s at “club cost” every month for the next three years?
