Matthew Parris does not like Gordon Brown (part 2)

Dear Reader, I have said before that Matthew Parris, a former Tory MP and
a current columnist on the Times, really does not like British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown.

In his Saturday column, Parris again compares Brown to the Wizard of Oz. The
journalist says "the chief economic wizard who has succeeded him (Tony Blair)
appears a shrivelled figure as the curtains are pulled back".
Then, later "After the effective disintergration of command at the very top of the Government......"

I suppose this is quite incendiary stuff. Although we all mock John Major, he did
win a general election on his own merits. It seems that Major had more bottle than
Brown, who would have surely won a poll in November, even it was with a reduced
majority.
I am not the only blogger in the UK quoting these Parris articles.
A "mea culpa" for my international readers for going on about Gordon Brown,
who is apparently British, but wants to sell us down the river with the forthcoming
European Summit.
