Gordon brown coming to Cardiff City stadium

I think history will be kind to Gordon for what he did between 1997 and 2007 as chancellor and even 2007 and 2010 as PM through his leadership during the generation defining global financial crash.
Speaking At the CCS on 3rd June anyway. Raith rovers fan I believe?

He made the right call during the financial crash and has received no credit for it.
Re: Gordon brown coming to Cardiff City stadium
Will be away. Would have loved to meet him. A thoroughly decent but misunderstood man. You cannot say that about many politicians.

And was shown up for being 2 faced by that women who he accused of being an old bigot, but that can happen to anyone I guess.
The good bits - he stopped us going into the Euro, he is a nice bloke (I met him once back in the early 2000's), he has had terrible tragedy in his life, which transcends politics. Would be better suited to be a chancellor of a university than a country I think.
He made the right calls during the financial crash. Osborne and Cameron were clueless

It's definitely not feedy - he told me that and I really really really believe him. Strange how his posts are so similar to Feedback's on an alternative forum.

Didn’t the tories agree with him giving away the gold reserves? And wasn’t it forecast to be the right thing to do at the time? Terrible revisionism, you’d have to be an incredibly thick one eye twa.....oh it’s feedback carry on.
Re: Gordon brown coming to Cardiff City stadium
Him calling that old bigot an old bigot was the best thing he did too!

He flogged 400 tonnes of gold at the worst possible time. It emerged years later that he had ignored Bank of England advice to not sell.
Re: Gordon brown coming to Cardiff City stadium
Brown was an idiot who couldnt manage himself, let alone manage the Country. He left it on the brink of bankruptcy.

Re: Gordon brown coming to Cardiff City stadium
Not much momentum behind this , decent man though ,who suffered from within the party and the media ,and the electorate,I wonder if folk would have voted for him and beat May and this chaotic party, pre Iraq Blair would have trounced her .
Re: Gordon brown coming to Cardiff City stadium
Will he be playing on the left wing?
