Honest Gordon - the Punter's Friend

Broon has switched out of his usual garb into a tipster's country tweeds and trilby, and has a red hot tip for the nation's punters:

"Gordon Brown has predicted honours awards for British medalists in recognition of the country’s best Olympic performance for a century.

Speaking to the BBC in Beijing, the PM said that there had been “such spectacular successes” for team GB members that the honours system “is bound to recognise them”. Decisions on such awards are made by the Cabinet Office, with the sports honours committee due to meet in September".

Nice of the Nostradamus of Kirkcaldy to stick his neck out, as after all the PM has so little say in who gets which bauble at the twice yearly doling outs to the famous for being famous, long term placemen and women and the occasional token civilian.
