Why didn't he raise all this earlier than after the event if it was so obvious?

1.1 million views now and hardly a single mention in the mainstream news apart from C4 news last night asking why other mainstream news outlets haven't picked it up.

Though it's being shown a lot on fox news apparantly.

From his blog:

Does anyone at the BBC read the Telegraph? said:
My attack on Gordon Brown has now featured on two UK terrestrial TV programmes: the Channel 4 News and BBC2's Daily Politics.

On the former, Jon Snow introduced me as a "relative unknown". On the latter, the female presenter accompanying Andrew Neil didn't bother to sugar-coat it. "It wasn't covered because nobody knows who he is," she said. "Does anybody care what he says?"

I don't have any pretensions to fame, but I have been writing in Britain's best-selling quality newspaper for 14 years. I wonder: does this say more about me, the Telegraph or the BBC?

It seems he needs to appear on Celebrity Big Brother before the mainstream media will give him the time of day.

Good speech, but frankly it's easy to throw eggs when you're a nobody with no influence who can't actually screw up enough to be noticed.

Give him and the tories some power, we'll see how fast they mess up like every other political party.

LOL, even his own employer (Telegraph) didn't cover it.

z0mg conspiracy!!! :eek:

Channel 4 news picked up on it yesterday. After dishing it out it's only fair he should take some criticism himself.

It does seem to me that his speech is big on criticism but offers little in the way of what he thinks we should have done instead.

Yawn.
The US caused the crisis yet he blames brown

So sad it's not true.

2 years ago the same 20 000 would have been profit...

His solutions are strangely missing...

Yes anyone in any country could say that.

Works off than Hungary and Iceland and Estonia and Slovakia?

Like I said Yawn.
