Brown Sugar?
If you watch the Apprentice, Sir Alan Sugar keeps saying that he always wants to make a profit. Is that why he has joined Browns team of goodie grabbers?

Alan Sugar's been a supporter of Labour for a long time.
Seeing as most of his products are .. er.. low end? I'm sure that parties that aim to put money in the pockets of workers rather than the richest is good for his business.
Or perhaps - and I know you'll not get you head around this concept ymg - perhaps he thinks the intersts of the country as a whole should come before his own personal interests.

I think Brown has started a dangerous precedent. Promoting civilians to become a Lord or Lady does not require any election or by-election to get them there. But then they can assume responsibility for creating policy. Also they step over MPs in the commons as they take the portfolio and there is less scope for promotion. Now Glynis Kinnock is to become European Minister. Sir Alan Sugar has obviously great business experience but who's to say any advice could benefit their own business.

Actually Sugar no longer owns Amstrad - his companies like Viglen and Amscreen don't target consumers but education authorities.
I also don't think his air charter business is targeting the 'low end'

Have a look at the link below. I like the caption, �Because there was no-one else left, that's why�

I must say I am very disappointed in this news about Alan Sugar.
I had always regarded him as omeone with a sensible head on his shoulders,but obviously not!
As he came from a very working class background I (wrongly) imagined him to be sensible,this proves that he is not.
Wave a peerage at him and he will kowtow to Gordon Brown.
He says the job will enable him to help small businesses.Once he comes up against the Treasury(financial wall) he may change his mind.
Just why does he have to have a seat in the Lords to do the job,why can't he just be an outside advisor?
Sir Alan (to me) you are fired!
Mmm,he is a millionaire and gets a peerage,does anyone else think it smells?
