Brown is just so hard to like
Now I know that tactically every Conservative supporter should be praying for a result just good enough to keep Gordon Brown in post till the Coup de Grace of the general election comes along - as I identified with my Operation Foxley Brown post when Brown was still considered popular.
But the man is just so hard to like. He raises my blood pressure everytime I see something he's done ( and not for political reasons, but for the shear unpleasantness of what he does ).
Here are the recent examples:
- 1) The Vote BNP Labour leaflet ( You think that shading of Labour was too slight ? Just look at the apologetic version on their own leaflet ! ). Using the Union flag by the party that has done the most to destroy the Union and the country. You'd think Labour want the BNP to have a good night ....
2) The Day Jennifer Died (for charity which makes it OK ) vs His Conference speech of 2008. Remember "Some people have been asking why I haven't served my children up for spreads in the papers. And my answer is simple. My children aren't props; they're people." *
3) The expenses scandal is all the Tories fault line taken by shameless Gordon who's cabinet is filled with unrepentant flippers. He forgets his own expenses scandal a) http://tinyurl.com/ddvg9a b) http://tinyurl.com/mts2kf.
The common thread is at best the lack of judgement about how to behave decently - at worse its the naked aggressive tactical anything to win shamelessness that we so strongly associate with him.
I know electorally it would be better for the Conservatives if Brown was Labour's next leader of the opposition, but will rejoice on the day he steps down whenever it is and whatever excuse he tries to cover the event with ( and there will be one ).
* Note: I have no problem with this article or the book. It will perhaps help many people. My problem is with the man who says he doesn't do such things, and tries to gain advantage over someone he accuses of doing so.
