In yesterday’s Independent (29/7/10) I read the following comments about Gordon Brown from letter writers in response to an interview with the former PM published in the paper on 26th July:
‘…Despite his flawed character, temper or political failings, he was still a better human being – and socialist – than Blair ever was.’
‘For the first time, I could see him in a more rounded way than the usual caricatures of him as either a ranting ogre or a warm and witty friend.’
‘It showed Gordon Brown in a different light and we can only hope that, away from the spotlight, he can continue to do brilliant work, locally, nationally and internationally.’
Brown ensured that funds were available for the illegal war in Iraq – over a million people have been killed there, and thousands maimed, orphaned or widowed. Its horrific consequences are still being visited upon Iraqis, such as the mothers who are delivering deformed babies because of the chemical weapons used by the invading forces. Brown shouldn’t have the freedom to give interviews to allegedly ‘independent’ newspapers and he certainly shouldn’t have the freedom to do more ‘brilliant work’.
Honestly, it’s like finding out that your Granddad – the one who always got you nice presents and took you to cool places – has buried the rest of the family under the patio, then saying, “It’s alright Granddad. You’re a really kind person…”
