Brown’s self pity and self-obsession can surmount the thousands of dead and national catastrophes. One can see her as a useful idiot representing a left-wing coconut in a shy for fellow FPC and Editorial Intelligence goon John Lloyd to knock down. Her big message is that Britain will be a better nation when it includes ‘something’ like her. What is that 'something' — an intellectual prostitute? [1]
