Gordon Brown, Iain Dale reject

We love this: Iain Dale claims Gordon Brown has sent him four separate friend requests on Facebook.

So, assuming El Gordo doesn't use Facebook himself, someone must be doing it for him. So why would that someone assume Iain Dale would ever accept a request from El Gordo? And why would that someone send a repeat request when the first was refused? Why would they do it again? And again?

As we've said before, there is an air of basic political idiocy around the Brown camp. This is a small example, but a telling one.

We're now off to send friend requests to Iain and Gordon. We'll let you know how we get on.
