How our First Lady of charity became second-hand Norma

A man with a face straight out of The Shining or The Butcher Boy, who has already lurched past myself and Mieke Vanmechelen five minutes before, is now running back in our direction.

Sunday February 28 2010

THINK of it as the Scots Presbyterian work ethic. If Gordon Brown wants any bullying done, he'll do it himself, thank you very much. His predecessor as British prime minister simply dispatched his venomous reptile of a special adviser, Alastair Campbell, to do the yelling and shoving on his behalf. Same unpleasant result for whoever was on the receiving end of the abuse, but Phoney got to play the nice guy, like Pilate washing his hands.
