As you may have already heard, British prime minister Gordon Brown has a temper of Ruddian proportions. But new reports keep hitting the British media about just how fiery and abusive Brown's temper can be. Even innocent fruit does not escape the Brown wraith.
An excerpt from an article in The Sun :
A factory worker claims that during an official visit to his plant the PM hurled a tangerine into a laminating machine after flying into a rage while on a phone call. He said: "The fruit got stuck in the machine and clogged it.
"It was very embarrassing, we had to stop the tour and he got even more angry. He called the person that gave him the tangerine an idiot."
Actually, Gordon Brown called him a "citric idiot."
You think The Sun just makes up stories like this?
No. A real newspaper with real journalists sources and fact-checks claims that the prime minister is a fruit thrower.
And the tale of the furiously hurled tangerine came from a clearly reputable source :
The UK Telegraph also reported this 'incident' as fact....
....and the tangerine tale even became part of a Hong Kong news agency's animated round-up of Brown abuse atrocities :
