Me, Me, Me

I agreed with Steve Bell's take on the memorial service for Nelson Mandela - so many fragile egos jostling to be seen, desperate to convince themselves of their own importance.

Now I can understand why government leaders and heads of state would attend - although as it turned out only Barack Obama had anything important to say.

But why all the hangers on?

For goodness sake Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah Brown were both there which strikes me as vey odd, as the parents of two young children.
