Gordon Brown is reputed to have said today regarding the smeargate affair ....
"I am sorry about what happened... I wrote to those people affected, expressing deep regret, and the person responsible went immediately... I take full responsibility for what happened. That's why the person who was responsible went."
Interesting comments these. Note that he says he is sorry about what happened (translated - I'm sorry my right hand man got caught).
He takes full responsibility (does he? What has he done to take responsibility? Sack someone else, someone he appointed and who he has had as a trusted advisor for almost ten years?)
That's why the person responsible went (Went? Went where? It is not clear that he has left the civil service.)
The fact of the matter is that while Gordon Brown may well be telling the truth when he says he did not know about the emails, those around him acted in the way they did because of the tone set by the leader, Gordon Brown.
What this affair has brought to light is that far from bringing a new spin free regime to politics, he has been exposed as scheming double dealing bully and completely lacking in any sort of moral compass.
