Oh dear, how sad, never mind - People just aren't interested in Gordon Brown

The Telegraph report that:

'A press conference by the former Prime Minister at the United Nations in New York was cancelled this week when not enough journalists turned up to hear him speak.

Mr Brown, who has recently been named the UN special envoy for global education, was at the United Nations General Assembly delivering a speech about a new UN initiative to put more children through school.

He was scheduled to address reporters at 4pm on Wednesday to discuss the project, but unfortunately when just one journalist - a reporter from the Daily Telegraph - arrived for his briefing.

As the former Prime Minister stood in the background, a message was played on the loudspeaker reminding the media that Mr Brown was due to speak.

 At about 4.20pm another message was played over the public address system informing the media that Mr Brown’s press conference was cancelled.'

As of now, not a mention on the BBC; I wonder why?
