Hague on Brown

William Hague has been given the task of Brown baiting. His speech went quite well until this bit: “After ten years of failure and disappointment, he cannot be the change the country needs.” There’s something strange about hearing this Ghandi ‘be the change’ patter put into Hague’s mouth. As I suspect he knows, the public want politicians to enact change not purport to embody it. And this preference for “I am” rather than “I will” is what Cameron must reverse over this conference.
