| | |  J.K. Rowling writes for Time magazine 100 Influential list
J.K. Rowling has written a piece for Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People list for 2009. She has written the piece for Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister, who was featured on the list under the category of 'Leaders & Revolutionaries'. Quote:
Back in the mid-1990s, when he was new labour's brooding, intellectual heavyweight, I was a lone parent struggling to get by. He said he was not interested in stigmatizing the poor but in finding solutions for their predicament. I was tired of hearing government ministers lambaste the likes of me as irresponsible scroungers. I wanted Gordon Brown in charge.
Quote:
The son of a Presbyterian minister, with a formidable intellect and a work ethic to shame a nest of ants, the 58-year-old Brown is frequently dubbed "dour." I know him as affable, funny and gregarious, a great listener, a kind and loyal friend. These are strange and turbulent times, but issues of fairness, equality and protection of the poor have never been more important. I still want Gordon Brown in charge.

Very well written, I see. Her words are very accurate indeed.

She writes so beautifully. Sadly, though, I don't know much about the British Prime Minister.

I only know what I read and see from the media about PM Brown; however, he seems the right person for the difficult job as PM. I just heard that CNN will be interviewing a series of the 100 influential people, and I look forward to watching it. | |

I love the way she's written it. It's beautiful. Unfortunately I don't really share her sentiments towards Mr. Brown. On a political level, obviously.

Beautifully written piece!
Bit strange to read nice things about Gordon Brown to be honest, it seems like everyone in the UK hates him at the moment. Glad that Jo isn't just following the crowd | |
