So where do we go from here?

The big Brown mess we're in - Part 1

This is a personal view of the past year, coloured by emotion. This is from memory, so the timelines may be mixed and confused, and facts may be completely wrong. I don't care. This one is about the visceral side of politics, about my emotional response to all this.

A year ago, I wrote a lament for socialism. Brown had secured the leadership of the Labour Party without an election, and so became Prime Minister. I predicted he would be the same as Blair, only with different presentation skills. Well, I suppose he tried to be the same as Blair, but his lack of presentation skills of any sort scuppered that.
