Gordon Brown may have famously talked about his "moral compass", but he could do with brushing up on his European geography.
Giving his report on last week's European Council in the Commons earlier, the Prime Minister said that "failure to support the reform treaty will leave the Czechoslovakian people isolated in Europe", according to what he'd heard from the Czech Prime Minister.
Czechoslovakia, of course, ceased to exist on January 1 1993, when the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic were founded.

It's indicative of how out-of-touch he is with the world. He really is an ignoramus.
