Brown - the view from Paris

From Le Figaro, reviewing PMQs:

"Each week the bags under his eyes look ever deeper and his skin more grey. His nervous tics betray the rage he tries to suppress in the face of the jabs from Conservative leader David Cameron. Whereas [Cameron] appears confident and relaxed, Gordon Brown answers stiffly and often stutters. His defence is limited to a tedious repetition of the achievements in eleven years of New Labour".

(Our French chums have one word - 'cernes' - for bags under the eyes. Very economical).

Brilliant, I wish our media were as observant. Saw in a comment elsewhere that apparently the Irish have nicknamed their own loserish PM "Gordon" Cowan.

Tee hee hee.
