Just when you thought Brown couldn't get more desperate!
I'm stunned he or anyone would use the death of their child for political gain.

Unfortunately the stupid Big Brother, YouTube, Facebook generation won't see it this way...

Winky backs England to win the World Cup. No true scotchman would ever do that.

At the moment they are British, until they get independence that is how it is.

Someone from Adalucia isn't Andalucian Nationality, but Spanish. However they will mostly refer to themselves as Andalucian.

OK, now answer the question what Nationality is someone from Scotland?

Can we try and base the answer of fact please, not opinion.

Back on topic... this interview with Piers Morgan seems to be the sort of thing that is done by ex-Prime Ministers, not serving ones. I'd rather he was concentrating on running the country than telling his life story.

They stand as much of a chance as anyone, I guess.

Oh and looks like the Afghanistan cricket team will qualify for the World Twenty/20 in the West Indes in May, having beaten Ireland, USA and yes, Scotland. I'll bet Winky's devastated!

Sees himself as Scottish.....in other words he is a Scot by birth but having left at 18 months old probably doesn't think of himself as Scottish.

I was born in Scotland and left when I was 21, of English parents. I consider myself Scottish.

My daughter was born in Germany, RAF Wegburg, she lived in Germany till she was 4, but she isn't German because she was born on British occupied soil and has a UK passport

Presumably you consider yourself Scottish AND British as you hold a British passport, not a Scottish one.

Just like I'm Lancastrian, Northern, English and British.

that shows he's a true scotsman - he knows he can curse who ever he supports. so by supporting England, he knows they'll lose for certain.

just look what Brown's support for Andy Murry did for him.

I'm going to stick up for Brown here a little.

Piers Morgan interviewd him and he broke down apparently I can understand that, However I am sure if you are the PM being interviewed about issues and suddenly the interview switched to lets talk about the moment your child died I'm sure you'd break down.

For what it's worth just after my sons first birthday he had fit and collapsed I had to give him mouth to mouth THAT day will be with me until I die it was awful.



Please give the guy a break until we see the whole interview.

PS
You could also blame the producers for switching cam feeds to Sarah????????

rofl Quite. Brown has always been extremely carefully stage managed.

One born every minute, I guess.

You really think that the current Prime Minister doesn't get to cherry pick questions in a pre-recorded interview?

Do you not think this has been planned by the Labour party as they are playing the X Factor sympathy card to gain voters.

I have absolutely no problem with this program, if it was to be aired after the election. It is disgusting to have this weeks before an election and days after Brown hiring Alastair Campbell.

Fair points chaps!
Please dont have a go at me. Having worked in media for 15 years I know how things get twisted, and yes I agree winky may try use this to his advantage.
The point about it being aired before the election is a valid one and I didnt think of it that way.
