So, Gordon Brown has given a speech to the assembly of the Church of Scotland, calling for a moral centre to society:- Brown doesn't meet the Dalai Lama at Downing Street (unlike Blair in 1999, and Major in 1991; Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, has received the Dalai Lama in her office). A moral centre, but not for Tibet?
- Occupy Iraq for five years ... a moral centre?
- John Hutton is his secretary for CHRIS (Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, think "Lady in Red"), but Hutton is extremely comfortable with the filthy rich getting richer. What kind of a moral centre is that?
- Penalising the low-paid who are under-25 with the 10p tax change ... where is the morality in letting the changes stand until his backbenchers revolt and he is forced to make changes?
- 11 years of Labour government, and what concrete long-term action on climate change, a generational issue, a species survival issue? Where is the moral centre, the moral leadership?
- Brown keeps taunting David Cameron at PMQs (hat-tip) about why he won't support ID cards which are only for foreign nationals (19th January, 19th March, 14th May). Between that, the "British Jobs for British Workers" comment, what kind of morality does that show for refugees and migrant workers?
