What's in a name?

Today the name Michael Brown is haunting me. News and blog reports about the Michael Brown who gave some money to the Liberal Democrats have been prevalent. But here in Look North region, as a relative newcomer to the area, I have just had the dubious pleasure of seeing ex MP Michael Brown interviewed. Described on wikipedia as having 'robust style' I was entertained by his description of Alan Johnson as not just unable to 'wield a knife, but unable to wield a penknife'. Obviously this was in response to the suggestion that Johnson could replace Brown as Labour Leader.

This was one of his vaguely entertaining quotes. For someone who lost an election some 11 years ago now, he seemed remarkably bitter still. Blut he was gloating over the prospects for those who beat him - yes those who beat him - at the next General Election whenever that may be. And gloating Tories are just never that attractive

Tory media usually roll on Mr Brown when they want a good anti labour line!!
