The thing is - as well as publish the minimum of correction what the daily mail does is it also deletes the original story - so while this correction now exists the story that it corrects has now vanished

The media assassination of Brown was probably the most viscous and concerted attack on any politician I can think of!

isn't that a bit 'brave new world'? Funny* how alarmingly accurate both George Orwell and Aldous Huxley actually were.

tbf, he's done himself no favours continuing to draw his MP's salary while hardly ever attending parliament, and referring to himself last week as an "ex-politician".

That may be true, however he has given up his ex-PM pension and gives all the money he makes from speaches etc to charity so it seems a bit harsh to attack him for keeping the MP salary bit.

and referring to himself last week as an "ex-politician".

Most MPs aren't politicians - so he's correct in that respect. An MP's role to represent their constituency. A politician - someone who seeks to influence policy - is something else.

Is anyone else starting to think Brown was a better bet than the self serving toads we have at the moment?

Go on Jamie, Photoshop someone, say Gove, Osbourne or the like, as a toad. Or is that just too easy?

I'm with Russell Brand on this. He was a liar, serving multinationals, rather then the electorate who wore a different colour tie
