What is your opinion of Gordon Brown (current - UK PM)?

With the general election fast approaching it is no secret that many, many people are extremely fed up with the Labour governement. I am one of these people but I can’t help feeling quite sorry for Gordon Brown. He was handed a whole sack of shit when Tony Blair left no.11 and seems to have spent his whole time as Prime Minister resembling a deer caught in the headlights! However, whilst I don’t think that he is particular suited to run the country I can’t help feeling that he is a genuinly decent chap (which is more than I can say about my feelings for David Cameron!). A good way of explaining my feelings about Gordon Brown is this: a friend of mine recently called him a wanker to which I replied that he may be a bumbling fool but to call him a wanker implies that he is a bad human being and I don’t think he deserves that harsh an insult. What do others think?

I apologise if this question alienates anyone but the British amongst us, I don’t mean to do this but I have thought quite a lot about this in the recent months with all the news of late!
