I wonder if it is a idiots guide or a how to not cause a financial crisis?

Old news report but cant find anything newer and its just round the corner...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10761869

wonder if it has any nuggets of wisdom for this:

Brown is also accused of fixing the ‘unbreakable’ £5.2 billion contract for two aircraft carriers to protect ­shipbuilding jobs in ­Scotland’s Labour heartland.

We won’t have any jets that can land, or take off, from the carriers, at least not for ten years, if at all. This is considered something of a drawback, aircraft carrier-wise.
But its all ok as the money is going to charity... suspect it will be a scottish labour union charity but its a charity!!

I've repeatedly heard the release is late this year.

I don't suppose he'll be expecting soft reviews from pretty much anywhere, definitely not in these fora.

Misconception. Authors don't publish books, they write them!
(or in the case of celebs and politicians, are written for them, usually by a 'ghost'.

And all the time he's been writing this book, he's been absent from Westminster Palace.

Useless gormless idiot of a man.

He would be if I ever met him, the one eyed kilted stwit - the man should be in the tower, and his head on a stake over the Thames for what he's done to the UK.

(and yes, Mandelslime and BLiar should be there with him_

I had to hold back a little bit, for fear of insulting our Scottish brothers, the vast majority of whom are not myopic morons with the intellectual capacity of a pre-pubescant housefly.

It does make me happy when I watch the news and I don't see any more of this talking bks at me and stealing my pension/salary:

Borrow as much as you can to make everything look fine, then let someone else deal with it.

Only Brown needs a book to write what could be summed up in one sentence.
