What did I think about Brown? I've said before, I don't like his kind of politics. I didn't really meet him properly but I identify him with state, state-ism, with simultaneously high morals and low cynicism. I never identified with that kind of politics. The last gasps of this idea that through the state you can transform society but how that then automatically leads to a dependence on finance to fund it. I don't think Gordon Brown redistributed power to people.
