[quote]According to Alastair Campbell - who is now back offering his Luciferian advice - the sheer gravity of the downturn has "brought out the best" in the Prime Minister. It is something to do with the humbling of the capitalists and the brutal necessity of government action - a reordering of our political economy that has put this manic meddler where he wants to be, at the very centre of the stage. "Gordon," pronounced Campbell, "is a round peg in a round hole."
Well, folks, I do not presume to comment on the geometry of Gordon's pegness, but there is no doubt that Campbell is right about one thing. He is in a hole, all right, and a hole very largely of his own digging.[/quote]
He can certainly write, I'll give him that! ?
