Goodbye Tony, Hello Gordon

The decade of Tony Blair is over and another Scot is now taking the role of Prime Minister of the U.K. Gordon Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) from 1997-2007 and an MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath since 2005. But Gordon Brown's career in politics and civil service stretches far back to the early days in Edinburgh University. There is a quick bio available on BBC News here. He is often criticized for a lack of charisma but he must have had some magnetism for the "Brown Sugars" who accompanied Brown on photo opportunities during his campaign for university Rector, according to the report. I still need to see some evidence of these girls in miniskirts.
