Saved The World

Saved The World
A slip of the tongue by British P.M. Gordon Brown who, at Prime Ministers Questions, instead of saying “We not only saved the banks …” said “We not only saved the world … .”

Martin Kettle observed in The Guardian, “It must have been an excruciating moment for a proud man like Brown to realise that he may, with those few words, have punctured his own hard-fought and hard-won political recovery.”
