Is Gordon Brown Stupid?

I was writing on Politicalbetting two days ago, when my computer switched itself off.  It wouldn't restart so it went into dock for a day.  The technician swept the disk, found a couple of viruses and a spyware which knew was there (I could hear it working sometimes), but he found no reason he could see as to why it crashed. 

It is possible that it was a hacker.  I have no extra anti-hacker security devices. These are compex to operate, and would probably cause me more trouble than a competent hacker.  So I don't bother.

This is the bit I was writing as it crashed.  I copied and pasted Tory Boy's phrase

'One thing Brown isn’t, is stupid'. 

I had just keyed 'are you sure about that?' and was about to go on about his record on the economy but that second,  I was closed down. 

I can imagine a young hacker monitoring blogs, sitting with his instruction sheet.  'If anyone comes in and criticises Gordon Brown, take him out'.  If so, he did his job to the letter!

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Hackers again giving trouble on 22nd.  Try to post but various menus pop up unrequested so cannot proceed.

Earlier in day, Dizzy found my blog had linked into his in a mysterious fashion.  These characters are obviously peed off about something!!

Well, the hackers haven't targeted my blog yet and I will give Brown some stick!

I suppose now that he AND Wendy Alexander have been elected unopposed as Leaders, Brown would like not to have the bother of an General election to contend with?

had bad hacker-harrassment last night. they don't seem to be around at the moment so at last I can comment on my own blog undisturbed!

Wilted. I feel the same that an election is unlikely - but a lot of hacking and blog attacks demonstrates a heightened sensitivity and could be taken as a sign that someone is weighing up their chances.

Cameron is a sly old fox, and will give a good fight if required.
