Different shades of Brown
There's this article in the Observer today:
Gordon Brown will make his most audacious bid to show himself as the unbeatable 'Prime Minister in waiting' this week with a remarkable series of meetings with foreign leaders and the launch of a groundbreaking aid initiative backed by the Pope.
In what one aide described as an effort to 'show what a Brown premiership will look like', the Chancellor told The Observer yesterday of his vision for an ' X-Factor' Britain. He said the reality TV music programme, as well as shows like Dragons' Den and The Apprentice, promoted 'aspiration, how anyone can achieve things' - key to the agenda he hoped to bring to Number 10.
Is there not a limit to how many different times one man can re-brand himself? First it was Africa-man. Then Arctic-Money man. Now this. And what the blazes is "X-Factor Britain". Urgh.
Not for the first time, I think I may just crawl into bed, and not re-emerge until Tony Blair resigns.
