三隻眼睛看事實，全麵公證地評價布朗
我列了所有老布從政之後的HIGH和LOW（按時間順序排），大家看看吧。我從來不低看他當將軍的才質。為他惋惜的是，他的政治運氣實在是太不好了。這隻是我的看法，大家看看吧。
• LOW - Missing out on the Labour leadership
**我的評論：懷才不遇，既生瑜，何生亮。1994年，沒當上工黨領袖----運氣不好，但是是個將才，是不是。
After the surprise death of party leader John Smith in 1994, Mr Brown was viewed by many as a natural successor.
But he struck a deal with Mr Blair under which the younger man would take the leadership in return for giving Mr Brown control of economic policy and later handing him power.
• HIGH - The 1997 Labour landslide
**我的評論：1997年大選成功，軍功章上有你的一半，也有我的一半，所以我們說，不能磨滅他將軍的功勞。是不是。
After 18 years out of power the party won a historic victory over the Conservatives, achieving a massive 179-seat Commons majority.
Mr Brown became Chancellor and built a power base at the heart of Whitehall that allowed him to shape many areas of domestic policy.
• HIGH - Giving the Bank of England independence
**我的評論：此政策因為金融危機有人說好，也有人說不好。但是將軍的氣度表現出來了吧。他不是將軍，他不敢做啊。小托尼自已就不敢決定，但是小托尼很有人緣，個人魅力強得狠。
Days after taking office in 1997, Mr Brown announced he was giving the Bank of England freedom to set monetary policy.
The surprise move was widely lauded as helping to usher in Britain's ''Nice'' decade of ''non-inflationary constant expansion''.
• HIGH - Economic growth during his time at the Treasury
**我的評論：這個大家在此次大選中都忘了，沒有這個將軍，現在我們就在EURO ZONE裏了。人民啊。
Over his 10 years at the Treasury, Mr Brown earned a reputation as the ''Iron Chancellor'' who promised there would be no return to ''boom and bust''.
He oversaw strong growth in the UK's economy, although critics questioned how much of this success was down to him and argued that he should have cut public debt further.
• LOW - Controversy over economic policies
**我的評論：每個將軍都不可能是常勝將軍；這段可能有你講的“出爾反爾”的例子。但是不妨礙他做個好將軍。
Some of the measures Mr Brown introduced as Chancellor were highly divisive, including the private finance initiative (PFI), a way of funding public capital projects like hospitals that is more expensive in the long term.
There was also criticism of his decision to scrap tax relief on pension funds, his sell-off of part of Britain's gold reserves before prices soared, and his abolition of the 10p tax rate paid by people on low incomes.
• HIGH - Early popularity as Prime Minister
**我的評論：這是我們要的將軍，小戴，小倪可能差點。“BIG TENT”難道顯不出他的個人魅力？
In his first months at No 10, Mr Brown was praised for his handling of crises including failed terrorist attacks, flooding, a foot and mouth disease outbreak and the run on Northern Rock.
He also won respect for his ''big tent'' approach to politics, appearing to heal rifts within Labour and reaching out to members of other parties.
• LOW - The ''bottled'' election
**我的評論：這個是你講的他的“個人魅力”了----我也不讚同他這個LOW點，但是我覺得是和他政治顧慮有關，不是“個人魅力”的問題。這個談遠了。其實，白貓黑貓，能逮到老鼠就是好貓。選將軍，大家都緊跟媒體，去選美了。很遺憾。）
Mr Brown considered calling a snap election in autumn 2007, but dropped the idea after the Tories received a poll boost by promising to cut inheritance tax.
His decision led to him being branded a ''ditherer'' and meant Labour eventually faced a public vote when electoral conditions were far less favourable.
• LOW: Leadership challenges
**你說：“他的內閣都是“yes man””就錯了吧。而且，他的內閣，能人還真不少。比如，MILIBAND兄弟。
As Mr Brown's premiership became more unpopular, he faced growing unrest within his party - and eventually several unsuccessful coup attempts.
But even the most credible challenges to his leadership - half-heartedly by Foreign Secretary David Miliband in July 2008, and seriously by resigning work and pensions secretary James Purnell in June 2009 - failed to trigger an all-out Cabinet rebellion.
• LOW - The global financial crisis
**我的評論：這個事，明眼人都知道，真不是他的錯。不管哪個人在台上，都是替罪羊。但是我很欣賞他在處理危機的果斷機智的力挽狂瀾。大將風度。
The economic storm that ravaged financial institutions worldwide plunged the UK into recession and required a massive Government bailout of British banks.
Mr Brown was widely praised for his response to the crisis, but fears about jobs, wages and public debt levels dented Labour's popularity.
• LOW - The ''smeargate'' scandal
** 我不知經過，不加評論。
A close aide to Mr Brown, Damian McBride, resigned in disgrace in April 2009 after the revelation of an email plot to tarnish senior Tories' reputations with false internet allegations.
The affair revived concerns that British politics had become dominated by ''spin'' and dirty tricks.
• LOW: Bullying allegations
** 我的評論：隻能說布朗運氣太差。我們要的是將軍。要他英勇果斷，又要他沒脾氣。他有脾氣又不影響他當總統的才質。反而老好先生，你放心他治理國家嗎。
Claims that Mr Brown swore at and shoved around his Downing Street staff were aired in journalist Andrew Rawnsley's book The End Of The Party, published in February this year.
Ministers denied the allegations, and there was some evidence that Mr Brown's poll ratings actually improved after they emerged.
• LOW: Leadership debates in the 2010 General Election
**我的評論：這個也不談了，人氣好的LD，最後結果也不是很好。
Mr Brown did not shine in the new televised leaders' debates that formed the centrepiece of this year's General Election campaign.
Polls and pundits generally agreed that Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg won the first debate and drew the second with Tory leader David Cameron, with the final one going to Mr Cameron. Mr Brown was placed last in all of them.
• LOW: The ''bigotgate'' scandal
**我的評論：這個不提了，公說公有理，婆說婆有理。
SKY是老默的媒體，這次選前他就說了，要力挺保守黨。老默的麥克風，掛哪兒不掛哪兒，有戲呢。）
While campaigning for the election in Rochdale, Mr Brown was caught on microphone describing local pensioner Gillian Duffy as ''bigoted'' after she quizzed him about immigration.
He made a personal visit to her home to apologise, but political opponents seized on the gaffe as evidence that he held voters in contempt.
• LOW: Losing Labour's majority
**我的評論：很可惜，布朗從來運氣就不好，但是不妨礙他當個將軍，因為你，我，小戴，小倪幹這個都沒有他行。）
In a dramatic election night, Labour lost 91 seats and the Conservatives gained 97 to become the largest party in the Commons, albeit 20 short of a majority.
The result was better than some Labour members had feared, but it left Mr Brown in constitutional limbo as the Lib-Dems and Tories discussed power-sharing arrangements.
