Hello,
Well, we are being told that Gordon Brown will inevitably win the now 'official' contest for the Labour Party leadership and the 'crown' is of course the job of being Prime Minister.
Uncle Arthur happened to hear Gordon Brown speak today in Harlow, completely by accident as I happened to be working there. Yes, I know, it's just one of those things. I heard him speak to around eighty Labour activists gathered by local MP Bill Rammell and I have to say Brown got a very warm reception. Most Labour members and voters I think, are, given the opportunity well disposed to the 'Son of the Manse', of course we shall see if this appeal will spread to the rest of the nation. Why don't we give him a chance though?
One thing that is needed most in the nation is a time of healing and a leader who can in particular bind up the wounds of society, and restore the bond between communities and elected politicians. That task is most neccesary, it may not inspire the scribblers and spinners of Westminster but is is central to the job of Prime Minister today, in 2007; for the hopes and needs of 1997 seem a generation away.
