Down and Brown

I was watching PM Brown on TV this morning from Scotland where he had taken on his 'soft, slow tone' of speaking as he does when there is sorrow in the air. Like PMQs about dead young soldiers. Today he was at it again about the death of the Polish President in a plane crash.

What is it about Brown? His faces crumples up, his voice goes down a few decibels and he looks like a mournful basset hound who has just discovered he has no food.

Watching his performances on these occasions really worries me. When the next question follows, on a completely different subject his voice goes up and he almost changes character.
Just what type of personality is this man? It is reported that some years back a No 10 insider said that Brown had 'psychological flaws'. Well, I am really wondering if this is the case. He is such an odd, disjointed-looking guy in public. He looks so awkward, can't seem to connect with ordinary people and is very apprehensive about answering questions 'on the spot' from journalists.

Cameron does not seem to worry about this and seems quite at ease and relaxed. Dare I say, far more normal than Brown.

Perhaps Brown ought take off the suit coat, roll up his sleeves and look normal, ordinary. In fact, like a member of the human race.

Sad but true. Well, that's my opinion this Saturday.
Bad day for Poland and its leadership, many of whom were sadly killed in the plane crash in Russia.

Brown - down. Cameron - up.
