What's your view? A Scotsman who has never held a job in his life is now telling us we are all responsible.

Maybe its time for a change?

Why are you using the word Scotsman as if it's an insult ?

James Gordon Brown MP (born 20 February 1951) is a British Labour politician and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Brown assumed office in June 2007, after the resignation of Tony Blair and three days after becoming leader of the governing Labour Party. Before this, he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Labour government from 1997 to 2007 under Blair.

Brown has a PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh and spent his early career working as a TV journalist.[2][3] He has been a Member of Parliament since 1983; firstly for Dunfermline East and since 2005 for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.[4][5] As Prime Minister, he also holds the positions of First Lord of the Treasury and the Minister for the Civil Service.

Journalist = Job
MP = Job
Chancellor = Job
PM = Job

Just a factual statement but the Scottish prudence line sold over the last decade certainly jars.

He has behaved like an old Labour spender and now he wants others to take the blame.

That is annoying.

Being a journalist is possibly a job? Was he paid not all are?

MP, chancellor and PM are just political roles that they have the cheak to make us subsidies their chosen lifestyles.

In most "Jobs" you get fired for being being that poor at the task.
