Gordon Brown’s YouTube message on MPs’ expenses has been watched only 4,000 times. By contrast, the video of him picking his nose has been watched 630,000 times and the video of the Tory MEP Daniel Hannan haranguing him in the European Parliament has attracted more than two million hits...
...Paul Staines, who is author of the Guido Fawkes political blog, said that Downing Street was playing into the hands of Mr Brown’s detractors by trying to conquer the internet.
“They put a load of pictures of him up on Flickr,” he said. “Every Friday morning I scan through the photos on there and find the most stupid one I can. You can just use it to make him look like even more of an idiot.”
