Mr Duncan's words are sadly all too true. I'm only an ordinary member of the public and I don't think, but know, I could knock any of Brown's batch of baby-faced ministers into the middle of next week in a debate. Gordon Brown has surrounded himself with people who will be compliant to the nth degree. At this time the Labour government needs those versed in the art of dissension.
