That Brown is an arch politico, used to putting up a smokescreen of banal sh*t in order to dodge answering anything valid or pertinent is one thing, I can forgive that, the slimeball is just acting according to his nature.
What I do find unforgivable and rather depressing is that an audience composed of young people let him get away with that. Where they could be asking questions about rising cost of studies, vast student loans, shrinking job market, inability to pay off loans, shrinking economy, one year on from the recession and £6bn in bonuses are being paid out to bankers etc etc etc
Indeed anything regarding their future and the government's investment in them - but no, Brown says a cutsey little remark about John & Edward and they let him run with it.
The audience should take a leaf out of the twins' book; same age as the audience, same circumstances but they at least are taking steps to ensure a lucrative future for themselves.
