Gordo’s lies?

Two weeks ago, Gordon Brown announced that he hoped England would win the 2018 football World Cup. Now newspapers have unearthed an essay Mr Brown wrote in 1994, titled "Why Scotland Means the World to Me", where he declared himself a member of the "Tartan Army", and described watching Scotland beat England in 1967. He spoke of "the sheer joy of defeating the English at the game they regard as their own". This makes Mr Brown look posturing and foolish. But who on earth would have known where to find the essay, which appeared in an obscure 13-year-old book about MPs and their football teams called Football and the Commons People (co-edited by Alastair Campbell)?” Oh.
