Brown doesn't understand what it is like to be stumped

Ever been stumped playing cricket?  It is very humiliating way to lose your wicket.  You forget to leave your foot behind the popping crease and, more importantly, on the ground.

Is this exactly what has happened to Our Dear Leader over the Megrahi affair.  By issuing letters to mark various events just makes Brown look weak, because has failed to express an opinion and say where he stands on this rather important issue.  Now when he does speak, as he will have to at today’s press conference, Brown will equally be accused of being weak, showing a lack of leadership and reacting to media pressure.

Because of his self-imposed silence over Megrahi’s release Brown has found himself in a no-win situation.

The poor chap has been well and truly stumped.
