Gordon Brown seems like such a sad sack. Is this going to finish him in the upcoming election? I am interested what any of the Anglophiles here think.
I would suggest it probably won’t, largely because he is already finished. No one thinks Labour can win the next election anyway - perhaps he just doesnt care anymore?
I think the majority of Brits were ok with the idea of the release on compassionate grounds, considering the guy is dying anyway - however, the sickening display of triumphalism in Tripoli angered a lot of people.
