4.0 out of 5 stars Shining a light into the darker recesses of Mr Clown's record, 28 April 2008
By Richard Brearley "RB" (Brighton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At last, an easily digestible, straightforward exposition of all that is Gordon Brown. Why, you will ask, has no-one in the media charted the cataclysmic damage caused by this dour control freak in a way that makes clear what has happened? You won't get it on the state sympathetic BBC, and you won't hear it talked about in the Westminster Village. None of the matters discussed can be genuinely rebutted because they're all true. Read it and weep.

4.0 out of 5 stars A devastating critique, 3 May 2008
By Peter Hirsch - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you want to know the damage that the Moron has done to the economy of Britain, this is the book you should read. A page turner filled with factually backed accusations. The effect of Gordon Brown's actions on the finances of his country, its institutions and its Constitution are all examined and picked apart. There is little here for your comfort but much for your ammunition pouch. No wonder this book is being sold at a premium - £25 per copy as opposed to the publisher's price £9.95 each and £25 for 10! Only towards the end of the book does the momentum fall off: the writer tires of his subject, and with such a subject, this should surprise no one.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not that simple, 20 Jul 2009
By M. Woodman "hikeandbikemike" (Exeter, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an all-out rant, drawing upon the almost inexhaustible catalogue of stupidity which comprises Gordon Brown's record in office. There is enough here to keep the average saloon bar bore busy for as long as it takes to clear up the mess created by an outstandingly silly man - which could be quite some time.

The author's tale (penned in 2007) has to a limited extent been overtaken by events, these having evolved even more swiftly than he envisaged. That, though, only confirms his judgment about how crass and damaging has been the behaviour of his deeply unpleasant subject.

Where I am disappointed is that the book gives no insight into the nature and origins of the moronic character propounded. It is relatively straightforward to list examples of egregiously silly actions; and one cannot fault the diligence with which Dr Coleman has compiled these. But it is then virtually a tautology to dismiss the perpetrator as a moron, which the author does in a single sentence by reference to the OED definition. It would be more interesting to have an opinion about where on the spectrum of outlandish character flaws he would place his twerp.

Gordon is reported to be, in certain respects, exceedingly bright; notwithstanding that he has all the presence of an automaton such as a speak-your-weight machine. Do his evident obsessive belief in his own cleverness, his contempt for the intelligence of others, his total lack of judgment or of capacity to perceive consequences, make him a moron? Is that simplistic? Does he, rather, verge toward autism: capable of brilliant isolated feats without context, and therefore best kept away from any position where he might screw up? A chapter on the author's medical insights into the aetiology of his subject's condition would have added immeasurably to this work.
