Son of the Manse, ridden by his own ambition, George Brown will manage to go down in history as the man who tried to save the banks from themselves and the unequal, austerity ridden United Kingdom from the Scots.
The Bullenden boys will dump again him once he has danced to their tune. George Brown; from Blair's wars to keeping the most backward political system in the West together, the man who has made an art form out of his wrong choices, is the last ditch symbol of the 'no' campaign at this moment before the Scots vote on the 18th. Brown has tried desperately to make the transition from a traditional social democratic, moral 'do-gooder' to the leadership of the political class. His ambition has tortured and destroyed him. Not a Greek tragedy though; rather a sad, modern farce.
