Finally, Winky breaks his silence on the most pressing political issue. Love the bit about leadership. Oh, the irony.

From BBC website:

The prime minister has invited the England cricket team to a Downing Street reception to celebrate their Ashes victory over Australia. Gordon Brown praised the side's "great determination and commitment" after Sunday's victory in the deciding Test.

In a letter to England captain Andrew Strauss, Mr Brown said: "The series has been yet another wonderful showcase for cricket and for all that is great about sport.

"It has provided high sporting drama throughout the summer that has yet again gripped the entire nation."

The prime minister added: "To win the Ashes with your magnificent display at The Oval - and coming back from the defeat at Headingley in the fourth Test - shows great determination and commitment."

Mr Brown said Strauss had "led England from the front, with patience, resolution and courage".

"The country is extremely proud of what you have achieved this summer."

Great opportunity, 11 large men with bats and one sad pathetic individual needing a battering.

I'd pay to watch that on Sky Box Office.

Isn't a great sign of priorities.

We don't know how he or the British Government fits into this whole Megrahi debuckle, or what their views are....



But at least we know he watches the cricket

The bloke is insane.

He's deluded wrt his ability and intellect and doesn't give a st about democracy or the electorate.

IMHO he's more of a danger to the UK than any terrorist threat.

We should be in the streets demanding his resignation and an immediate election.

I'd love it if the England cricket team snubbed him on the grounds that he is an english hating failure, politically posturing failure, and called for an immediate general election!!
