Please Don't Fall for it again

Gordon Brown is trying to subject the media to the same sort of charm offensive that Blair used to great effect whenever he was in it up to his neck. The shame is that some of the media are falling for it again. The BBC, of course, are the biggest culprits. The dire interview with Gordon Brown on Sunday where he was allowed to say almost anything he wanted without any sort of challenge is a perfect example.

We all know what Brown is like, he is a control freak and a tax and spend fanatic. That's what we are getting; nothing more, nothing less.
