Gordon Brown’s psychological flaws will come back to haunt him – Telegraph

Link: Gordon Brown’s psychological flaws will come back to haunt him – Telegraph.

Heffer’s article is potboiler stuff, but am I alone in being delighted by this comment from a Telegraph reader?

Brown has not changed one iota from the devious, untrustworthy teenager who arrived with me at Edinburgh University. His father really was a decent man and to hear this charlatan claim that his life and actions are a mirror image is outrageous. Pass me the sick bag, Darling.

Who, pray, is this reverend doctor? Let us hear more from him.

    This was posted on the Telegraph website in March this year. Somehow it is so prescient…
    Having been at Edinburgh University with Gordon Brown and watched his
    antics across the years, I think the media wildly overestimates his intellectual
    ability. Unlike genuinely brilliant political economists such as Peter Jay,
    Brown has always had difficulty in seeing the big picture. This has resulted in
    him constantly falling foul of the ‘law of unintended consequences’. He is also
    a classic bully and has tormented the underlings around him but is nowhere to be
    seen when courage is required. Will Brown take the big, tough decisions as Prime
    Minister? Don’t make me laugh!

    Yes, I saw Iain’s post too. Most interesting. Guthrum has also been doing some research into this interesting reverend doctor.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
