Belgian newspaper accidentally refers to Gordon Brown as 'Golden Brown'

Easy mistake to make.

WHILE REPORTING ON the Scottish independence referendum, this Belgian newspaper made somewhat of a critical error.

As in it referred to former Prime Minister Gordon Brown as “Golden Brown”.

D’oh.

"former prime minster Golden Brown"...
