Gordon Brown with Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made the comments after talks with the Prime Minister to try to forge a global consensus on how to save the worldwide economy.
Sky News’ Joey Jones said it was an “uncomfortable” moment for Mr Brown.
“The President does not mind using fairly flamboyant language. He likes to give extensive answers to journalists.
“But some of it was rather awkward for the Prime Minister, who was standing there listening to the President.
“A few eyebrows will have gone up at what he said.”
Downing Street says the remarks were meant for “domestic consumption”.
Jones said: “People in Brazil are very frustrated and angry at what they feel is the injustice of the situation: a crisis that has essentially come from the banking sectors in places like the United States and the UK, but is affecting their country.”
