The man who stole your old age.

 

Richard Littlejohn

 

The Man Who Stole Your Old Age has flown to Africa to spend £8.5 billion on a publicity stunt. That's how much of our money Great Statesman Gordon is giving to create school places for every child in the developing world.

Who asked him to do that? If that money is spent as wisely as the billions Gordon has "invested" in Britain, the children of the developing world face a pretty bleak future. Anyway, what has overseas development got to do with the Chancellor? Isn't that what Tony Benn's boy is supposed to do for a living?

Gordon's very generous with other people's money. Especially if it means he gets his picture taken with Nelson Mandela.

As far as he's concerned, it's cost-free compassion. Cost-free for him, that is. While he's coming over all Bob Geldof, perhaps he'd like to tell us how much of his own money he's giving to Africa
?
