Life in the NHS











freckly_gordon_brownSomething quite strange has been happening here on Life in the NHS lately, and that is the popularity of Gordon Brown as a tearch subject. Gordon got off to a slow start that is pretty clear. Accountants are always reckoned to be pretty dull and after 10 years or so as our ‘prudent’ chancellor of the exchequor (kind of the chief accountant of the UK) he slipped into the top job without being elected. I suspect no one really knew who he was and what he was about, what is more he is a less than charasmatic, kind of awkward individual who has been required to learn how to actually relate to ordinary people in the real world away from finance.

Over the last year or so, he has faired badly in a country still booming but disillusioned with the fact we are still at war and has appeared much less of a public statesman than his opposition number David Cameron. Roll forward to 2008 and the financial crisis / crunch or whatever we  must call it and actually we suddenly realise the financial acumen of Gordon Brown is something recognised around the world. I wonder if that is the reason why my one previous post about Gordon Brown is now featuring as top of the searches on my blog. Just shows you that you can’t judge an accountant by their apparent lack of charisma!

The picture above shows a very young version – it puts me in mind of a kind of Oscar Wilde figure, anyone else agree?

Oh my god….It’s a picture of Oscar Wilde and Gordon Browns Love child!!
