No, I wouldn't go that far!
I guess the t...(lol!)<br /><br />No, I wouldn't go that far!<br /><br />I guess the two things are separate (i.e. the death and my speculation over a leadership contest that didn't happen). I do think that Robin Cook had the stature to take on Brown, unlike (apparently) anyone else, and would have offered the necessary change of direction from Blair, especially with regard to the Iraq war, that the government needed to renew itself.<br /><br />Of the present choices, and I speak as someone who isn't a labour voter (any more), only John Denham seems convincing enough. I have a visceral dislike of David Miliband, although he's the most likely leader if labour lose the next election and Gordon falls on his sword.<br /><br />By the way, I'd like to say, although I generally turn up to attack what you say, I do respect you for giving your opinions, defending them and letting people such as myself, attack them, if you know what I mean.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-88210816770362603772009-05-01T22:13:00.000+01:002009-05-01T22:13:00.000+01:00all speculation but do u reckon brown had him bump...all speculation but do u reckon brown had him bumped off?
