Browndown

There was no sense that Gordon Brown looked rested and refreshed when he made his first appearance after an extremely long holiday. Grey faced and whey-faced he faced the cameras unenthusiastically in a robotic manner.

Several insiders have always made the case that Brown was bonkers and much of his public behaviour certainly betrayed some personality problems but this post today presents a plausible case for the theory that Brown is actually on serious medication to try to keep his behaviour under control.

Those who forecast that Brown might leave Number 10 accompanied by men in white coats may not have been too wide of the mark!
