I don't usually post newspaper articles, but this one about the next UK prime
minister confirms what most people think about the dour Scot called Gordon.
Chancellor accused of Stalinist ruthlessness
The Guardian
Gordon Brown, UK finance minister, has a "very cynical view of mankind and
his colleagues" and behaves with a "Stalinist ruthlessness" in government,
according to Lord Turnbull, who until two years ago was Britain's most senior
civil servant.
He belittles cabinet colleagues, who are treated by the Treasury with "more
or less complete contempt", and expects them to accept what he decides
without discussion.
