Could Gordon Brown Be A Victim Of A Mysterious Illness? It Is Time For Men In White Coats To Find Out

Is Gordon Brown A Victim Of A Mysterious Illness? It Is Time For Men In White Coats To Find Out Adam Lovejoy writes: With the way Prime Minister Gordon Brown is spending billions of £££ of public money on saving the banks, and the whole world – the latest announcement coming on Saturday with a staggering £260 billion allocated to the Lloyds Banking Group to insure its toxic debts – would it not be a good idea to summon a team on distinguished physiatrists to examine him and establish, once and for all, that he could not be held accountable for his actions due to a serious mental condition. Psychiatry knows of many cases when individuals succumbed to an overwhelming desire to waste huge amounts of other people’s money. Cruelly, in the past, sufferers of this illness were denied proper treatment and instead were banged behind bars on charges of fraud and abuse of their position. But as we now live in a caring society we should start treating these cases of excessive overspending of public funds as a mental illness.

As always there are cynics who brush aside the idea of such an illness existing. They claim that Brown is just trying to save his own political career rather than the British economy. We, at StirringTroubleInternationally, disagree with them profoundly. Brown’s deeply disturbing performance last week in Washington, where he showered the US President Barack Obama and members of US congress with so much praise that even the recipients of it looked shocked, proved that the British Prime Minister was gripped by irrational fear and subjected to violent panic attacks. It was obvious from his trip to the US that at times did not realise what he was saying and who were the people around him. If these are not signs of a serious illness then we do not know what else is needed as proof that the Prime Minister should not be held accountable for his actions.

But even despite such manifestations of his illness cynics still insist that Brown knows perfectly well what he is doing. They claim that the latest ring-fencing of bad debts of Lloyds Banking Group, which was forced by the government to take over HBoS with its huge toxic liabilities, proves that the Prime Minister was simply covering up his own mistakes. Since when, these deeply cynical people ask, was it deemed acceptable for a Prime Minister to be given a blank cheque from the nation to bail himself out of political trouble? This is even worse, they say, than the loony years of Tony Blair when in order to distract attention from the disastrous failures of Labour he would come up with gimmicks like that ‘piece settlement’ in Northern Ireland when in reality the problem was simply swept under the carpet. (While we agree with the argument on Northern Ireland, we still think that the current banking bail out could have only originated in a deeply disturbed mind.)

But cynicism has no bounds and there are some irresponsible people who go even further in their accusations against Brown and claim that he has an evil plan of bankrupting Britain and then turning to the EU for help to bail it out, in return for surrendering the £ and adopting the euro. They say, these cynical individuals, that in a situation when the country would be all but destroyed by the enormous debts and no results to show for it Britain would have no other options but to surrender to Brussels. And in the event of this Brown would be rewarded with some important post in Brussels.

Outrageous accusations, simply outrageous! To suspect a man who is suffering from a mental illness of such devilish intentions is simply cruel. Although we do agree that the EU would be very keen to swallow Britain and might let Brown, even despite his illness, become head of the European Central Bank or some new pan-European body that would, for example, monitor the financial sector.

We, at StirringTroubleInternationally, have been saying since last summer that the best way to deal with the financial crisis was to allow incompetent banks with their huge toxic debts to disappear. We think that it was outrageous on the part of the banks to take advantage of Brown’s shattered mental health to force him to bail them out. Look at Northern Rock, at RBS and at the recent Lloyds Banking Group bail outs. Are you actually going to say that these were all the actions of a perfectly sane Prime Minister? It had nothing to do with sound thinking, nothing at all.

The men in white coats should be summoned to 10 Downing street immediately. If only to dispel harmful suggestions that Brown is a perfectly sane person who is simply ruining his country in the name of some political agenda.
