Exposed: The Gordon Brown conspiracy

By George Tyndale on Jul 31, 08 12:11 PM


Now that Gordon Brown is finished as a Prime Minister, one major question remains to be answered.

How did he get the job in the first place?

BROWN MASK.jpg

He was, of course, destined for the post ever since the infamous Granita restaurant pact which allotted the job of Prime Minister to Tony Blair and made Mr Brown the Chancellor of the Exchequer until he took over at the top.

But that was last century. Since then even the restaurant has closed down. Mr Brown has spent ten years in No 11 Downing Street under the close scrutiny of Cabinet colleagues and 300-plus Labour MPs.

Did none of them ever notice that the man sat next to them in meetings was a dour, fingernail-nibbling ditherer, eaten away with angst and consumed with minute details?

If the rest of us out here in the real world were picking up the worrying messages that Mr Brown was a control freak with "psychological issues" then surely those rubbing hunched shoulders with him in Westminster must have heard the same, at least.

If we noticed that whenever a difficult or important issue arose on the political horizon the Scotsman went missing, then so must they.

They must have been aware, as we were, that his longevity as a Chancellor was down to three things.

First, he inherited an economy that, thanks to years of hard graft by the Tories, was in rude good health.

Second, we then experienced one of the most prolonged periods of economic boom in modern history.

And third, that Granita deal meant that even a man as duplicitous as Tony Blair could not get rid of him.

Mr Blair, like every one of his New Labour colleagues, must have known that while the Scotsman was surfing an economic boom he was also placing the future of our nation in serious jeopardy.

There was the profligate spending on education and the NHS with no identifiable improvements in standards; the massive expansion of the public sector which has saddled the taxpayer not just with unprecedented salary bills but with terrifying pension commitments.

And there was the fuelling of growth by encouraging personal debt, the full catastrophic results of which we still waiting to witness.

Even his detailed tinkering was disastrous.

The deeply flawed new financial control regulations he introduced led directly to the collapse of Northern Rock.

We knew which way this monstrous incompetence was leading. So every man jack of the New Labour army must have known also.

So when it came to the moment when Mr Brown was to step over the doorstep of No 10 why was no voice raised in doubt?

Why was every one of them prepared to stand aside while a man they must have known was utterly unsuited to the job of being our Prime Minister was ushered into office?

The answer can only be naked ambition, unspeakable cynicism - or both.

They knew that if they tried to stop Brown and failed, they had no future in Government. They also calculated that when his incompetence became terminal it would be better to be close at hand to launch their moves for future advancement.

So, whoever follows Foreign Secretary David Milliband in launching bids to take power in the coming weeks and months, they will all share one thing in common.

They were all part of the Brown Conspiracy.

They are all tainted by the pact of silence that, at a moment in history when we desperately needed clear and decisive leadership, foisted upon us a dangerously duff Prime Minister.

So we know already that, whatever promises of new dawns and pledges of new beginnings they come up with, they have already failed the first and most critical test.

When it comes to a choice between self and country, we know which they will choose.

I couldn't agree more, how an island country savaged by centuries of war, yet led by groups of spineless mp's who cant even stand up to the mark and say what needs to be said. A 10 year old will stand on a football pitch and tell another boy he is a bad player?
