Gordon is just another bloke

The last couple of days have seen a media feeding frenzy on the political body of a barely surviving Gordon Brown. On Nicky Campbell’s Phone-In yesterday he was all things from the finest politician of our generation to the single-handed destroyer of the nation’s well-being. There are 60 million people in the UK and 6 billion on the planet so I think the media are spending too much time on the foibles and fate of a particular individual. Gordon is neither the author of our joys nor of our ills. He has simply gone along with our glib acceptance of a higher standard of living than we deserve and for which the rest of the world is now presenting the bill.
