Blair on Brown... Why?

Agree about Blair, less about Brown.

I hope this does not come off as condescending but please tell me how you feel about Brown...

I can see Blair as the meglomaniac, but how do you put brown in that company? Honestly would like to know...

Public opinion of Brown is very low at the moment.

Brown is a result of Blair's resignation.

Blair wants to distance himself from the negative public opinion, he does this by criticising him.

Blair can now continue to make lots of money and do stuff. There are still people that hate him, but by denouncing Brown it gives Blair and the public something in common, thus may help repair his image that little bit more.

Am I reading too far into this?

Because he was brutally back-stabbed by a man that was suppose to be his party ally, the one-eyed Scotsman.

Brown has no one to blame but himself. He argued that he was the right man to take Labour to the next elections, and he lost.

There is no further explanation to that.

Sadly both these people destroyed my faith in the political process,albeit in slightly different ways. I thought that when Brown came in he would dispose of some blairite excess,but straight away he denied us a referendum on the new european constitution. The ultimate slap in the face was when he called a perfectly decent labour supporter a 'bigot'. The cat was out of the bag-the people who ran labour rather despised their natural constituency.
Gordon apparently always wanted to be PM ,from a young age, and his machievellian attitude to Blair showed the degree to which he desired that job.All the reports back from his colleagues/depts and some reliable witnessess was that Gordon was a control freak of the first order, and aggresively so on occasions.His dismissal of 'that lady' as a bigot ,showed he had disdain for the lower orders.

Blair is one of the few politicians I respect. Everyone knew Brown would be a failure...

Another victim of Tory-media propaganda, I see.

Labour did not leave us with a ridiculous amount of debt, the global financial crisis did. It hit us out of the blue and nobody was able to stop it, and as a result the government were forced to borrow vast amounts of money in order to keep the public sector functioning and to keep the country from falling into a deeper recession. The only criticism I accept as fair is that the gov' could have stashed reserves away for a rainy day, but if you have a look at other governments around the world, very few were doing that.

You should be grateful to Brown for handling the crisis so well. His decisions kept us from falling into a near-depression. Had the Tories been in power, they self-admittedly would have refused the bailout of the financial system., which almost certainly would have caused the country to fall into a depression. Brown won statesman of the year for 2009 for his handling and leadership of the crisis, but of course the Tory media refused to report that.

Labour would have lost that election no matter who was our leader. Brown actually did very well to stop the Conservatives running away with it, because let's face it, it should have been a Tory landslide given the public feeling towards Labour fuelled by Tory media bias. Cameron FAILED to win the election and as a result the Tories have a watered down government with the Lib Dems. Brown can take some credit for that.

Despite what the media would have us believe, Brown was very popular in many areas, eg Scotland, Wales and parts of Northern England.

Am I the only one who got a disgusting image in their head upon reading 'Blair on Brown'?
