A Bloody Tragedy

A really rather sad yet forensically precise assessment of the Prime Minister's depressing political trajectory ('rather than trying to invent a working class background for himself, Brown was the first to invent a capitalist background') by John Newsinger. 'Whereas, for Blair, the embrace of neoliberalism involved no great personal struggle because he had no previous beliefs to dispose of, for Brown it involved a deliberate decision to change sides. The effort, one suspects, damaged his personality.'
