A review by mrdavid205
My Life, Our Times by Gordon Brown

5.0

A fantastic and fascinating book from one of the modern greats of British politics. Compared to the intellectual pygmies that populate today's politics on both sides of the house, Brown is looking more intelligent and prescient every passing day. What really shines through, however, is his compassion and determination to do something for the poorer members of society. When we have a government, as we do now, who wish to hurt poor people and actively enjoy it the decision to remove this man from office is more enraging than ever. If you want a reminder of what politicians can aspire to read this book. If you're reading this and disagreeing with everything I say read it anyway to see if you can at least understand your opponents.
