Gordon Brown and the World Cup: desperate much?
So, the Prime Minister has made it his mission – his personal mission, mind you – to bring the 2018/2022 football World Cup to Britain. A legacy! A legacy! Thank God, at last a legacy for Gordon!
It’s clear then that the Prime Minister is the only figure powerful enough to secure the massive prize of being able pay over the odds to watch millionaires kick a ball. It’s a vital personal mission for Gordon Brown.
So, what other personal missions has he declared he’s embarking on since becoming Prime Minister almost two years ago? A personal mission to secure peace in Iraq and Afghanistan? A personal mission to force through the vital measures needed against climate change? A personal mission to make sure we have a more equitable society? A personal mission to secure the release of his heroine, Aung San Suu Kyi
Er, not so much, no…

Still, it’s coming home, it’s coming, football’s coming home…
Update: Gordon’s taken the brave step of publishing an open Letter to Aung San Suu Kyi. No word of a personal mission yet.

Well, he single-handedly got Raith Rovers promoted, so getting the World Cup hosted in (rather than won by) England is a shoo-in.
Did he not have a personal mission to save the world’s banking systems?
Yay! Football is finally going to get some overdue exposure in this country.
The game is vitally underfunded and deserves to have it’s profile raised to get kids to aspire to the lifestyle of the professionals. After all, the players in the premiership are such good role models for the type of behaviour that our kids should be emulating…
I am so glad that Gordon has taken this on. Football isn’t just a game, you know.
