Well I hope we amuse weelittledrummer. And yes I've posted under that name Wolfgang. We can quit playing hide the salami now. As far as my thinking on the EU goes, I just get my information from statements like: "A staggering 88% of British people would like to see a referendum on the new European constitution according to poll results released today...."

Anyway, I don't know squat about Gordon Brown. I already admitted I'm woefully ignorant. This topic interests me though, because we have a similar situation in the US. GWBush is supposed to be from Texas, but he's not. He was born in Connecticut, went to school at Yale, and his family has a "compound" in Maine. About as far removed from Texas as you can get. But Bush adopts a fake accent and now the world is blaming us for his actions. But he's not from here. And we resent people thinking he is. So when I read that Brown is Scottish, and heard him talking about global government while he wrapped himself in the British flag, I saw parallels. He's like a British George Bush, but without depth perception.
