No idea what the substance of the original story was but there can't be much left of it after this;

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.

*not in a good way

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.

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
