Ok Damien you want some examples of brownshirts political cowardice i will start with the most recent ones and allow you to look further back to see the long list. First he doesn't come straight out at blair for the leadership of the party and didn't challenge before the election he let his friends start the whispering campaign and then strolled into the job after as we now know a lot of behind the scene's bullying and threatening.

He gets the job goes 95% of the way towards calling an election a little bad press and bang runs for the hills how much is that one going to come back to bite him had he gone for the election at that time labour might have lost but it wouldn't have been as bad as it is going to be and he could have stayed leader blaming blair, so not only his political courage in doubt but also his judgement.

But to me the biggest act of cowardice on his part that in many ways has driven the rest of it was his haste to get out of the treasury knowing that he had squandered the good times and that the cost of that was coming home to roost. That drove his push to get blair out so he could stroll into the pm's job and at the same time this economical genius that for a decade was happy taking praise from everyone for his great handling of the economy now takes no responsibility whatsoever for the mess we are now in always blaming "global conditions".

He is not a decent man he is a devious, manipulative and bullying man that has got to a position he has always strived for only to find he isn't good enough for the job but again rather then admit that and make way no he will drag us all down trying to prove he can do a job that is obviously totally beyond him.
