7. British media, know about Brown and subtly...
He has had years of practice, every speech he made was analysis by the British Media for what he was saying about Blair. Diplomacy meant that he could run the budget his way and that he could bid his time until he became PM. As someone that lives in London, I can say the tone is dramatically different because Gordon Brown is not a showman, we can forget that he is our Prime Minister.
The week Brown took over British troops were killed from is own constituency and we had failed terrorist attacks so he knows he is walking a dangerous line, but his thing seems to be diplomacy and tackling poverty. The other big story on British news yesterday was the suffering of the Iraqi people which did not reflect well on our presence in Iraq. A report from Oxfam revealed extreme poverty, since the removal of Saddam.
Watch what Gordon Brown says to the UN, that will tell you more about his view on Foreign Policy.
