It was the only time he remembered to smile during his speech. <BR/>Is he going to keep pedalling this "I didn't go to public school,I went to a state school" schtick until the next election?<BR/>Especially, as bloggers have pointed out, Harriet went to St. Paul's.<BR/>I think it was a mistake to go on about his school background. It just makes him seems like the nerd he is. Gordon is the adult version of the geek at school who really wants to be in the football team or school play and everyone knows that they will be hopeless but the geek wants it so much that eventually people give in ... and the geek turn out to be as dreadful as everyone predicted.<BR/>Gordon's body language during PMQs was very tense - I think he's having doubts already about his ability to cope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-56880181664305985082007-06-27T15:16:00.000+01:002007-06-27T15:16:00.000+01:00God I hate Hazel Blears more than any other politi...God I hate Hazel Blears more than any other politician.
