Sure...I think Brown's been dealt a proper raw deal. Sure he's not the most charismatic, not the most cool, not the atypical tabloid fodder but he's just about what we need now. We don't need some flashy, cocksure, bullshit wielding speaker who tells us all the right things to send us back into our nice little lives with limited worry. Perhaps we need someone steady and 'boring' to steer our ship. He's been elected during the time time of a recession and the Conservatives will do no better with the economy, we've seen them try and fail before. By no means am I a Brown-ite but I think people should leave off him a bit and I know he picked the people around him and Alistar Darling, Milliband brothers et all aren't iconic figures they've been put in their positions for their reasons. I'm unsure when political governments had to be plucked straight from a Ton Clancy book.<br />None of this really has anything to do with the above post but I just thought I'd think out loud.<br />PS: I failed Politics at college.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682287874982107731noreply@blogger.com
