What do you think of Gordon Brown?

[Earlybird]

Do you like him? Do you think he'll be prime minister one day? If so, will he be effective?

I'm inclined to like him, but that is based almost exclusively on my sympathetic feelings for him/his wife when they lost their young child a few years ago....which I fully accept is not a good reason to place faith in a politician.

he's not as camera/tv/radio friendly as blair and i think that is a good thing. but i'm really sick of him just towing the blair line when we all know he hates him.

i thought he might be better, but his cowtowing on iraq has just made me think he's as bad as the rest of them.

anyone is better than blair tho.

I could be wrong and naive but he seems kind and seems like he really wants to help those less well off both here and abroad, seems like one of the few politicians who have kept some vestige of their principles.

sophable , tb is NOT video or radio-friendly! cannot bear to look at or listen to the man!
see earlier post!!!!

am with caligula and puff on this

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

my understanding was that Scotlands parliament controlled all issues involving Scotland bar defence. So health,education, welfare etc controlled from Edinburgh - is that wrong? Where I was confused was how he represented his electorate fairly from Westminster if Scottish parliament is really the policy maker on all the big issues.

Clearly very confused! No change there!

Oh, not you as well Motherpeculiar

Has Gordie got a fan club

is that emoticon meant to represent Gordon's bottom-lip movement?

I'm with Caligula . Would vote for him just to ogle him more on the telly. Got a bagful of principles me .

eerrrrrrrrrinterest rates, errrrincome taxt, errrrr

Gordon Brown...gorgeous??!! are you losing your minds ladies?

Lol Teevee it does look like him doesn't it.

Now girls you only fancy him because he's got the illusion of power

If he was a bloke you saw down the local chippy you'd run a mile

I have always had odd taste in men.

Long standing crush on Charlie from "Casualty"

Donald Sutherland makes me go weak at the knees

Ah, got it, puff, you like blokes with dodgy eyes

rofl

He looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Oh, as Scots DH would say, 'He's got a face like a well-skelped a*&e.'

He's a tubby Heathcliffe in my eyes

Katierocket - on days like this, I think I might be!

Or maybe I'm just getting old. Time was when the idea of shagging any politician would have been simply horrific. And now it's.... not.

Oh dear. My life's heading in a downwards direction.

It's not so much the politican thing I'm shocked about more GB specifically.

Yes I think you need to be studying those boy bands more.

Set your sights higher Caligula

I do like him and I like his wife although I think he is a bit too serious for his old good. He has a sweet genuine smile when he manages it and I think he really does need to smile more!

My only prob is that he does like to make things complicated, ie, means tested everything!

Agree about his smile yingers - very cute!

Er... Cam... does Simon Cowell count? Can he be described as higher?

Simon Cowell?? He of the high trousers? You CANNOT be serious?

Caligula! Wash your mouth out!
