I had to write this....

Seriously, which Burke organizes Brown's Diary?

Both times now he's gone on high-profile foreign visits to both the US and now Israel and Iraq and chooses to do the former at the same time as the Pope and then to Israel as the first ever British Prime Minister to speak before the Knesset and he goes on the same week as the "US Political Messiah" - aka Barack Obama.

This is just breathtakingly stupid by Brown's diarist. Both events should have put the international media spotlight on the UK and it's achievements so far and both times now he's been crushed because he picked the same week as a definately much larger story.
