Bail out plan across Europe is being called the 'Brown plan' - Times Online

A rejuvenated Gordon Brown travels early to a European Union summit today after receiving generous praise for his leadership role in Europe's response to the financial crisis.

The Prime Minister will arrive in Brussels the day after the EU's leading official admitted that the multi-billion programme under which banks across Europe are being bailed out by their governments is the "Brown plan".

The man who successfully fought Tony Blair to keep Britain out of the euro is enjoying as friendly relations with the leading members of the eurozone as his predecessor.

He was even invited into the inner sanctum of the club last weekend to urge them to follow the British solution.

In France it's called the Sarkozy plan, by the similarly sycophantic and nationalist media.

But given that it's about to fail too, what will it be called then?
