GORDON BROWN - PARANOID THUG!

BROWN GOES ON TV TO DENY HITTING STAFF

A Number Ten insider, discussing Gordon Brown, told the Guardian:

"His intense bouts of anger are unremarkable to anyone who has worked closely with him. You just have to put up with this stuff. It is part of the daily experience, almost part of the furniture. He would behave in that way constantly. He suffers from a massive paranoia and an inability to accept blame, yet he runs a blame culture that allows him to blame others. He does not seek to win an argument, he just seeks to bully. If you have not worked closely with him before, it is truly shocking".

 
HAT TIP TO FIDO

Britain's top civil servant ordered Gordon Brown to ‘curb your volcanic temper’ after complaints that he was abusive to his Downing Street staff, it was revealed last night.

The unprecedented rebuke, delivered by Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell, emerged amid explosive disclosures about Mr Brown’s wild and violent outbursts. 

The Prime Minister was forced to go on television last night to deny he had physically assaulted his aides as a new book claimed:

Sir Gus ordered an official inquiry into allegations of bullying by Brown.

Paranoid Brown grabbed an aide violently and shouted: ‘They’re out to get me!’

The raging PM thumped the rear of the front seat of his car so hard that it scared the bodyguard sitting in it; while an aide sitting next to Mr Brown thought the PM was going to smash him in the face.

Mr Brown dragged a No10 secretary from her chair and took over at her keyboard.

He manhandled a senior adviser who told him he was late for a meeting with VIPs, yelling: ‘Why do I have to meet these fucking people!’

The bombshell revelations, some of which were reported by The Mail on Sunday three weeks ago, feature in The End Of The Party, a new book by respected political journalist Andrew Rawnsley. The newspaper has also uncovered new evidence of Brown’s extraordinary eruptions, including an incident in which he hurled a tirade of foul-mouthed abuse at Bank of England Governor Mervyn King in a stand-up row. A ranting Brown lashed out at Mr King’s ‘fucking ego’ and accused him of talking ‘fucking bullshit’ in a heated confrontation at an economic summit in America.

The new wave of allegations prompted Brown to make another extraordinary plea on television last night, just one week after his tearful exchange with Piers Morgan about the death of his daughter Jennifer. In a determined attempt to rebut the new claims against him, he said: ‘I have never, never hit anyone in my life. I don’t do these sorts of things.  Any allegations that have been made about hitting people or anything are completely untrue.’

However, Mr Rawnsley’s book paints a very different picture of Brown, portraying him as a lonely and desperate figure prone to extraordinary and frightening fits of temper, lashing out without warning and at the slightest provocation. Mr Rawnsley says Sir Gus intervened after he was told of a series of complaints by Downing Street staff of bullying by Mr Brown. It led to an inquiry that resulted in Sir Gus telling the Prime Minister to curb his ‘volcanic temper’. The mandarin told the Prime Minister to change his behaviour with the stern rebuke: ‘This is no way to get things done.’

The book claims that after the on-off Election fiasco of 2007, in which Mr Brown was taunted by David Cameron for ‘bottling out’ of calling a poll, he became ‘more and more paranoid’. It was followed by a disturbing tantrum during the furore over lost child benefit data. The Prime Minister leapt across the room and grabbed his deputy chief of staff, Gavin Kelly, by the lapels and shouted: ‘They’re out to get me!’

‘He was a lonely and desperate figure taking out his frustrations on those around him and struggling to cope with the pressures,’ says Mr Rawnsley. The author says that in another violent clash, Mr Brown’s senior foreign affairs adviser Stewart Wood found himself on the end of a volley of abuse over a Downing Street reception for European ambassadors.

  

Brown shouted: ‘Why have I got to meet these fucking people! Why are you making me meet these fucking people!’ He then allegedly ‘roughly shoved aside’ Mr Wood. Mr Rawnsley also states that Mr Brown became so furious with a No10 secretary that he ‘turfed her out of her seat and took over the keyboard’.

Sir Gus was so disturbed by Mr Brown’s conduct, says Mr Rawnsley, that he acted to calm down frightened duty clerks, badly treated telephone operators and other bruised staff by telling them, “Don’t take it personally.”

In another astonishing incident, Brown is said to have become enraged in his official car when told a piece of bad news by an aide who was travelling with him in the rear of the limousine. ‘He clenched his fist and thumped the back of the passenger seat so hard that the protection officer in front flinched with shock,’ says the book.  The aide who broke the news to him ‘cowered because he feared the Prime Minister was about to hit him in the face’, Mr Rawnsley adds.

Friends of Gordon Brown openly admit he is prone to outbursts of extreme anger. The Mail on Sunday has been told of an extraordinary clash with Mervyn King at a G8 economic summit in Boca Raton, Florida, in 2004 when Brown was Chancellor. The two men fell out over whether to announce that the US authorities were able to track nearly all financial transactions involving more than £1,000 in the West, including Britain, as part of their anti-terrorist checks. Mr King told Brown he wanted to make the issue public but found himself on the receiving end of a furious personal onslaught by Brown, who ordered aides out of the room as the two men slugged it out.

Brown told Mr King that a public announcement could backfire by alerting terrorists, and questioned Mr King’s motives for going public with the matter.

‘You are doing this because of your fucking ego, that’s why,’ shouted Brown, who could be clearly heard by officials from the Bank of England and the Government outside. ‘You are talking fucking bullshit!’ ‘Mr King answered back, but it was mainly the PM,’ said one official. Mr Brown won the argument and the US monitoring remained secret, though it was revealed by the American Press two years later.

Three weeks ago, The Mail on Sunday disclosed that the Prime Minister was facing accusations that he hit a senior adviser and hurled foul-mouthed abuse at aides while distraught over an alleged snub by President Barack Obama. Mr Brown’s allies denied the claims. However, the Prime Minister’s attempt to rebut reports about his behaviour were undermined by one of his closest Ministers yesterday.

International Aid Minister Douglas Alexander was challenged by John Humphrys on Radio 4’s Today programme about claims in memoirs by former Labour general secretary Peter Watt.  As The Mail on Sunday revealed last month, Mr Watt says that in 2007, Mr Alexander told him: ‘We have spent ten years working with this guy, and we don’t actually like him. We have always thought the longer the British public had to get to know him, the  less they would like him as well.’

STORY FROM THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

I'm looking forward to reading more of the details as they become available - the book is to be serialised, starting today, in the Observer as part of their relaunch and is not yet available online.

CUNT!

If this bastard was in a political party that wasn't populated by a bunch of weedy, snivelling twats, as Labour is, someone would have decked him a long time ago and put the fear of God into him to such an extent that he would never have bothered anyone again - ever!

Only the most feeble minded people will swallow his denials or any of the other horseshit he's been peddling on television over the last week. Brown "emotional"? My arse, and just to remind you of the "real" Gordon Brown, here's that rather revealing picture of his true character again.....
