Now let me think for a minute...who was it?
Ah, yes it is coming back to me now.......Gordon Brown.......and which party did he belong to?....er, that would be the Labour party then......or should I perhaps clarify that and call them New Labour.....they certainly weren't the socialist of days gone by...they were as close as it is possible to be, to a tory without actually having that name.
But they bamboozled lots and lots of the true Labour supporters....those who only look at the colour of the rosette.
