 A devastating critique May 3, 2008

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.

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.
 A shame it's so one-sided December 5, 2008

This is an excellent book for some factual research. Trouble is, he tends towards the Michael Moore approach and only presents one side of the argument which weakens his case.
If you do read this and are able to view it in the relevant context, I think you will agree that he has painted a rather realistically bleak picture of what a bad chancellor Brown was.
Oh well, what could Brown do now, eh...?!?

Picking up a leaflet in the FT this morning this book is 9.99 from the publisher. Do not pay 60 from the two current ditributers!!

Vernon is a Moron? October 18, 2008

I am currently studying this title and although I agree largely with Vernon's views I find his attitude to nurses incredibly patronising (and given the list of things the man hates...."pomposity", etc) rather surprising. Although the man was a Doctor so perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised at all.
As a male psychiatric nurse who has worked with some Consultant Psychiatrists who can make "interesting" decisions regarding treatment and prescribing, I have found that due to their poor skills in diagnosis and patronising communications I no longer have time to "plump pillows and take temperatures" as I am so busy explaining in a clear manner what has been said my patients.
This is why when Doctors who are coming up in the ranks of their profession rely on the nursing staff to "get them through", as we have more insight into patient care and diagnosis. This is due to the fact that we have a lot of contact with our patients and do not "drift" into a ward for 2 hours a week for "ward round".
