Fear and loathing. Part 2

Gordon Brown chewing a wasp covered in vineager, or is he just smiling?
As a news photographer, I once made Gordon Brown laugh. I used to think it was the pinnacle of my career. Why did I bother? On the countless times I had to photograph The Son of The Manse, he always had to remember to smile, but immediately regretted it. His long, dark, malign shadow is still visible to any political observer, amateur or professional, re-heated by the McBride memoirs.He employed, mentored, moulded, and created many of the current Labour leadership meeting in Brighton this week.
Ed Miliband and Ed Balls, should count themselves lucky they never actually met him.
