Our illustrious leader, Gordon Brown was doing the rounds of the radio and television studios today telling us all what a brilliant job he is doing in "saving the world".
I was amazed at how poor a speaker he is when he is not reading from an autocue or speech script and having to think on the hoof.
His answers to every single question whether it be about Iraq, Afghanistan, the world economic problems..even more light hearted stuff, anything at all, was more than littered with err, umm, nervous coughs, err umms. Literally every third or fourth word was err, umm or a wee "clearing the throat" type cough.
It would appear his mouth can work faster than his brain and the err, umms are to give his brain time to catch up and not drop himself in the proverbial.
Anyone else hear him and notice this.
