One thing that Woody is finding increasingly enervating is Brown's habit of talking as if he is not in control of government policy, but rather as if he is leader of the Opposition, or even worse, some grubby lobbyist. Take this for example:
What I want to see is anybody who is using a knife goes to prison,'' Brown said during his monthly press conference today. (Bloomberg, my bold.)
It's as if Richard Branson announced "What I want to see is that all Virgin planes carry the Virgin logo".
Well you're the boss, make it happen. That's the point of being Prime Minister.
He just wants to 'look tough' but avoid taking any decisions that might end up back-firing on him. Totally pathetic.
Along with this, he spends most of his time and energy hectoring other people to change their behaviour.
This is wholly unacceptable, Mugabe must not be allowed the steal the election which is now less than two weeks away, Brown said.
Ok what's happening in Zimbabwe is terrible. But this is just hot air isn't it? There is zero chance that Mugabe will pay any attention whatsoever to what Brown says. So how about actually doing something in the control of the British government instead?
Or how about this? Telling British car producers what they should be making? What a total and utter waste of time.
What this reveals is that Brown is psychologically unfit to lead a government. He has the mindset of an oppositionalist - someone comfortable pressing for change, but not responsible for delivering it. Woody has been here before in another guise.
He should never have been allowed to reach high office.

Clown's last sentence from your link sums it all up:
"I will propose that we convene a meeting of experts to exchange key information on infrastructure requirements and technology standards in advance of the London energy summit later this year." (Gordon Brown @ Sarkozy's latest summit)
Look at the words and see how many steps removed that is from taking a meaningful action.
Sadly he seems to have spread his dirty diseases to other world leaders and they are all getting away with holding endless pointless summits in a pretence at taking action - with the outcomes of these summits being the announcement of even more summits.
Meanwhile each of them tries to boost their domestic ratings by being seen as statesmanlike in the company of their fellow global leaders. Monkeys, the lot of them.
