Mad, bad and dangerous

That nice, charitable man, George Pitcher, is telling the world that mistaken though he may be, Gordon Brown is 'not a bad man'.

George is getting whacked for his pains, in the comments.

Here's my twopence worth.

You are very charitable, George, but Sheumais is bang on the money. Brown is indeed a bad man and unfit for office and always was and has proved it almost daily since he became Chancellor, never mind PM.

---------------------

Many a bad man does what he does in good faith and believing himself to be a good man acting for the good. Such men are wrong - and bad. Examples are legion.

Having a clear conscience - or to put it another way, having an invincible belief in the rightness of your actions - neither makes you correct in that judgement nor makes your wickedness, if such it is, less wicked. It merely indicates that your moral compass is defective.

Gordon Brown has acted for party advantage - and for nothing else - no matter at what cost to the citizenry, and pitilessly, too, where he deems those adversely affected by his policies to be outside his own constituency.

Whenever his stupidity and his errors have been exposed he has denied, lied and attacked rather than accept correction and remedy them. 10p tax rate?

His crocodile tears for the 'hard-working majority' are sickening to the innocents whose pensions he has stolen, whose life savings he has ravaged or who, happening to live in a house larger than he deems proper yet being poor, he deems to be 'rich'. How dare he, the feather-bedded, red-carpeted dictator, surrounded by amoral snakes like Balls, McBride, Draper and Maguire who do his dirty work for him so that he may remain Mr Clean, Mr Son Of The Manse, in the public eye.

He has ruined some of my elderly friends with his vindictive socialist profligacy and they have been powerless to resist his onslaughts.

He is a ruthless class warrior and God help anyone he does not consider one of his own.
