Sometimes, I feel sorry for this man. It seems that he’s being slowly backed into corner, portrayed as a shy, obsessive creature. Lord Turnball, former head of the civil service does what he can to embed the stereotype. Turnball has accused the Chancellor of operating with ‘Stalinist ruthlessness’. According to the former head of the civil service, Brown is insulting to the conventions of the civil service, imposing his polices on them and seeing no need for discussion. He added: “You can choose whether you are impressed or depressed by that, but you cannot help admire the sheer Stalinist ruthlessness of it all.”
Though I often feel sorry for this helpless sole, constant character reports like this are beginning to stick. The more they do, the more Cameron will continue to lead him in the polls.
