Union leader calls Brown "crackpot"

So the line is begining to strain. Tony Woodley, the joint general secretary of Unite and who isn't as extreme as some, has said this:

We are now facing a winter of fear for ordinary families. Fear of the cold. Fear of the fuel bills. Fear for their jobs and even their homes. This can't be addressed by 'lagging the loft' as some crackpot has suggested.

And who will be suggesting lagging the loft this week? Gordon Brown

What's wrong wi' being run (if it is into the ground) by one with, it seems, little more than prickly pink fluff upstairs?

After lying through the teeth over the EU-Constitution there is nothing that Brown can now say that will allow me to ever believe a word he says. My position is: "he is liar unless proven otherwise"!
