The Anonymous Widower

Barack Obama and Gordon Brown

I was searching for something else and found this little snippet in Simon Heffer‘s piece in the Telegraph for September 29th.

I bet our diplomats were “frantic” as they tried, and almost failed, to ensure that the most important person on earth, President Obama, had talks in the margins of the G20 with the man who thinks he is the most important person on earth, Gordon Brown. The reality is this. Mr Brown, as far as the Americans are concerned, is finished. He is of no use to them, so they see no reason to waste time on him. I can see their point: but every day, all of us find we have to be civil to people who are tiresome to us, and we manage to cope with that.

St Barack, whose own world is imploding as he gets more and more out of his depth, should reflect that he, one day, may be in Mr Brown’s position. And, by the way, he should learn some manners.

An interesting view from someone, who is not known to be playing in Stanley Matthew’s position – i.e. On the right!
