Well I'm just some bloke, he's meant to be running the UK on behalf of the Queen. I'd bloody well hope he's made of sterner stuff.

Having studied some psychology I'm not convinced that he is. I think he's weak (like the 1066 And All That 'Weak King').

Brown has consistently demonstrated that he doesn't listen to criticism from anyone, even those close to him, he won't give a damn what people say on here.

i meant the world in general not just MSE forum (there is a wider world out there isn't there?...)

if you put forward political beliefs you can expect criticism. and some of it can get quite personal. take gordon brown and his disabled child for example, many argued he couldn't be a good father and a good PM. that's pretty personal. and i admire him for getting through that.

On this board or more generally?

I've never seen that argument put forward myself.
