In which Prime Minister Gordon Brown shows how much more fun it is to govern in a land where the opposition is allowed to laugh at a slip of the tongue. Well, fun for the onlookers, anyway ...
Poor Gordon Brown. He reminds me so much of Paul Martin. Team player, waited in the wings for years and years to become PM, and now that he's there, he can't seem to win for losing...
I've been a professional writer for 30 years and have worked in television, radio and newspapers, as well as writing for advertising agencies and magazines. I maintain a site, www.comicstripoftheday.com, which is updated daily and takes much of my attention, though I still blog here when I have something to say. I'm also a dogowner, a dad and grandfather and, like apparently 40 percent of the people on this planet, a writer of children's stories. Most days, this blog should reflect some of that.

PS: In Hansard, the official transcript of Parliamentary proceedings, such outburst of laughter and/or heckling were traditionally rendered as:
SOME HONOURABLE MEMBERS: Hoot, hoot!

So that's where the name of the "Hooters" restaurant chain comes from?

Maybe he can form some kind of club with Joe Clark. Or, y'know, support group.
