"Charley:
The most irritating thing is the "Clean Slate" the BBC seem to have given Brown. He was a very powerful(arguably over-powerful) No. 2 during the Blair era and wielded enormous influence in every area, from the Iraq War to Social Policy. Without his support, nothing the Government did would have happened. All the volte-faces now being performed, from withdrawing troops from Basra to blocking super-casinos seem extremely cynical in light of this. If he found the policies so reprehensible why didn't he resign, as Michael Heseltine, Geoffrey Howe, Robin Cook (to name just a few major players) did? Was it self interest, knowing a leadership bid from the backbenches would be far more difficult? And why aren't the BBC asking these questions, instead of their current lickspittle approach?

Do you think the BBC will ever raise these questions? Or might that be quite tricky with their collective mouths so full with Gordon Brown's

metaphorical cock?
