During his historic trip to Washington, Gordon Brown gave Barack Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet - once called HMS President.

The unique present delighted Mr Obama because oak from the Gannet's sister ship, HMS Resolute, was carved to make a desk that already takes place in the Oval Office in the White House, after being presented by Britain to the US in 1880.

So it would be perfectly understandable if Mr Brown felt a little underwhelmed at the official gift he received in return.

For despite being leader of the world's most bountiful nation, President Obama handed over nothing more thought-provoking than 25 classic American films on DVD.

This is, frankly, humiliating. Heads should roll, but whose? Is there a backstory the UK press isn't reporting? I mean, historically signficant diplomatic gifts to our nation vs. a box set of DVD's is waaaaaaaay wrong. I just want there to be something missing from this story that makes it all a big misunderstanding. Anyone?
