Still plenty of uncertainty though, not least of which being whether Nick Clegg and Collin Firth are related. <br /><br />I think Gordon Brown probably is kind (well meaning might be a more suitable term) but, sadly, unable to express it through his demeanour, and rather misguided at times. <br /><br />Golden ~ I think you are absolutely right.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-80029782172718819292010-05-11T15:02:21.451+01:002010-05-11T15:02:21.451+01:00I think that regardless of who takes power, we'...I think that regardless of who takes power, we're in for a bumpy ride worldwide.

Fat lot of good it did him.
