The only values that will save Brown and society are the values justice and fairness.

Gordon Brown's travails - real and media-hyped- confirm one thing: the only hope the ordinary people have against the power-gangs, is in awareness...

First [that is only yesterday sat 10 may 2008] it was Cherie 'Booth' Blair being flaunted by Rupert Murdoch to sharpen the knife in .Gordon Brown's direction And this morning [Sunday 11 May 2008], it is John Prescott, who is being reported as having claimed to have advised Blair in the past to sack Gordon Brown when Brown was still the UK finance minister in Blair's administration.

Then there has been Peter Mandelson. Giving advice to Gordon Brown

And of all people, Alistair Campbell. Advising .Gordon Brown


These are signs if any new were needed that the .Gordon Brown administration is in comprehensive trouble.

If these events in fact lead to Brown’s administration dying, then the post mortem will not necessarily blame Brown. What swill be blamed, in a genuine analysis, is the fact that Blair had succeeded in destroying the very things on which he had made so many boastful claims. His boasts were to the opposite effect. He boasted of supporting the democratic structures and institutions that he was in fact smashing up...

The institutions of honesty, transparency in public life. Or the place of honesty and transparency; in public life.

.Gordon Brown has a serious shortage of sound honest opinion. Everyone within any reasonable range of 'power' [however transient, however shallow] is making their pitch. In secret. And in the case of Charles Clarke , he is getting as bitter because of losing power as he was when Blair first sacked him in effect.

The void of democratic audit, of critical mass that could save Brown was created by Blair. And Brown aided Blair in doing that.

Where should Brown turn now?

He should start even at this late stage, to tell the truth and the whole truth.

Her should discard fabrication. And mobilise the masses of people he helped to push into poverty and deprivation to unite behind a banner that will save his career and deliver the limited but only sure way of support in the next 10 years and beyond.

If he can’t see this or if he will not do this then Brown will deserve to go....
