"UK dignitaries pulled out of Friday's parade marking Nigeria's 50th anniversary, which was targeted by explosions that killed 12 people.

The Queen's representative was due to attend but did not. Ex-PM Gordon Brown cancelled his visit to the country."

I hope Tony Bliar happened to be there.

Nigeria was heading for disaster as soon as Gordon 'Jonah' Brown was due to visit.

God's teeth! The man cannot even show up to a bombing right!

Why do people want this? It will mean endless toadying (he was a great man etc etc bulleggs bulleggs), pointless TV shows showing that god awful smile and probably a state (or whatever he gets) funeral and some sod will put up a facebook page.

Let him slide out of memory. Then in a few years, Gordon Brown? Who he?

Unfortunately history tends to remember the great success, and the outright failure, since he was the longest serving chancellor and a disaster as a PM, Gordo's place is assured.

As bad as he was, he can't hold a candle to the bare faced lies of Ted Heath.

It was probably planted by Blair if he thought Brown might cop it. I'd have hoped for a suicide belt if that was the case.

Can the human mind even begin to contemplate the PH ststorm that would ensue in the event of Winky's untimely death?

I for one am glad he missed the bomb... Means when I get my Barrat 0.50 the f***er is still a viable target....
