These include the satirist Willie Rushton and John P Macintosh, who was a very fine Labour politician, academic and Scotsman columnist who sadly died far too young. <br /><br />Now does that sound like a familiar Brown tactic?Strathturrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824645626620377993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-4192356368088188002010-01-19T18:00:40.465+00:002010-01-19T18:00:40.465+00:00Bugger.
