Few could be worse than Browne.
Sorry,
Dallas, got to disagree mate.
The Defence portfolio under this regime, and this leader, will always be a poisoned chalice. Whatever you think of the politics you might as well give the person a chance.
Met Des a couple of times, the first a week after taking office and latterly a few months ago. Beneath that grey, legal exterior was a man of genuine warmth and concern who clearly enjoyed the company of us, the military. He knew we did the bizz and he respected us for it. I respected John Reid for the same reason and he was a commie in his youth!
Its no surprise that neither is in the Govt now.
Just dinnae get me started on Gordy.
