Its been a bad week for Gordon Brown. Not only has he been called a "one eyed Scottish idiot" by that proper idiot-at-large Jeremy Clarkson, much to the delight of the global tabloids..but his one time holy grail recovery plan for the world economy has been attacked mercilously by President Sarkozy of France.
"He will ruin his Country" says Sarkozy, and went on
"The vat cut has not worked at all"
he went further then to talk about the horrific debt Britain is building up and his tone was far from glowing about Gordon Browns efforts.
"We will do it differently"
said Sarkozy
Gordon would have been distinctly under the impression up until now that Sarkozy was his friend and ally...and we out here in the real world thought so too.
This of course is a particularly bad blow on the home front, and has left Downing St reeling. Why so? Because one of Gordons great boons, his great filip, was the fact that his financial recovery plan was adored by all other world leaders. This fact alone seriously wrong footed the Conservatives and gave them nowhere to go in the arguments. It won Gordon Brown great personal approval in the polls, but was his roll as global financial leader and saviour all hot air?
No doubt the Conservatives will make much capital out of this embarassment in the coming week, particularly at Prime Ministers Questions. Gordon Brown will be uncomfortable.The world leader status gave him a ring of steel up until now.
