On Holiday, British PM Plans to Spend Gaming Time with Sons
On Holiday, British PM Plans to Spend Gaming Time with Sons
July 28, 2009
Beleagured British Prime Minister Gordon Brown plans to spend part of his upcoming holiday enjoying games with his two young sons, reports the Mirror:
The workaholic PM is determined to enjoy his holiday in the Lake District with wife Sarah and his sons, five-year-old John and three-year old Fraser.
He is well aware - partly because his Church of Scotland minister father had long absences overseas on missionary work - of the need to spend quality time with his boys. "I think for all fathers the challenge is finding the time to spend with your children," he admits...
He plans to do more "re-winning" of their interest as he watches the boys' favourite TV shows and plays computer games over the next few weeks at the couple's home in Scotland and on their holiday.
No particular games or systems were specified in the report, but last year Brown admitted that his son - then four - beat him at Wii Sports Tennis.

JDKJ: You accusing someone else of flagging for attention is just too funny for words, Zippy. After all, you're an obvious graduate of the Jack Thompson School for Attention Whores.

Valdearg: It's just offensive that people who attend these things think they are helping the troops, when in reality, Hannity is using MOST of the money to live large in the cities he travels to. He could at least scale down his accommodations..

Andrew Eisen: Val - But they did get something and that's better than nothing. Also, the Freedom Concert site is clear that expenses are subtracted from the donated amount so while it’s not fraud (from what little I’ve seen) it is pretty crummy.

Valdearg: The problem, Zip, is that barely ANY of the proceeds are going to the children. It's all going so hannity can line his own pockets and enjoy a life of luxury. He is a grade A Piece of Human Crap.
