Another high paid BBC presenter has caused a storm that anger, most of all in Scotland.
Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of BBC's Top Gear was speaking to journalists in Sydney with the Aussie Prime Minister Kevin Rudd present.
He was speaking about the current global financial crisis and how bad it had become.
Clarkson said: "He [Rudd] genuinely looked terrified. The poor man, he's actually seen the books.
"[In the UK] we've got this one-eyed Scottish idiot.
"He keeps telling us everything's fine and he's saved the world and we know he's lying, but he's smooth at telling us."
The press office for the UK prime mister said Clarkson "is entitled to his own interpretation of the economic circumstances".
Mr Brown lost an eye while be was playing Rugby when he was 16.
Clackson today said sorry - He said: "In the heat of the moment I made a remark about the Prime Minister's personal appearance for which, upon reflection, I apologise."
