`  == Alistair Darling’s memoirs  == Please see Talk:Alistair Darling#Alistair Darling’s memoirs    :Partisan titillation - add it to Darling's BLP, it says more about him than anyone else.     Brown was ``hopeless`` as prime minister - Alistair Darling: - ``Mr Brown agonised over decisions, frequently changing his mind. Mr Darling says the management of his time by Downing Street was ``hopeless`` and adds: ``There was a permanent air of chaos and crisis.`` - ``Gordon's style of operating was like an old-fashioned court: he was the centre around which trusted courtiers moved.`` - ``their ``blind loyalty`` meant he was only told ``that which he wanted — or could bear — to hear`` - ``Former prime minister Gordon Brown failed to grasp the seriousness of the recession and ran ``a fairly brutal regime`` Alistair Darling wrote -     :And, what of it? Opinions from someone from someone Brown wanted to sack. Nothing at all worthy of inclusion here. Perhaps you could add to Darling's biography, Darling became upset after being briefed against and attempted to be removed by Brown.    This page is called ``Talk: Gordon Brown`` ... his former chancellor revealing the opinion that he was a ``hopeless`` premier is worthy of discussion.     :Issues without chance of inclusion are unworthy of discussion.    ::Dearie dearie me. Methinks that Off2riorob has a very bad case of WP:OWN. Perhaps you ought to read WP:CONFLICT too. ::This article is not your article on GB. It is our article on GB.     :::Excuse me dearie, your dislike of this person is littered over the history of the talkpage. My COI is only in support of neutrality. As I said, Darlings book promo partisan attacks positions are well known and imo don't belong in this Bio but perhaps in Darling's own. there are lots of such people in a Blair/Brown divided political party adding all their partisan opinions is perhaps better in a chip wrapper then a encyclopedic Biography.     Another thing Off2riorob: The published memoirs of Gordon Brown's former chancellor are hardly ``partisan titillation``.    :Yes, they are partisan if you consider the fact that brown wanted to and tried to sack darling and the fact that Darling could easily be described as a Blairite. Titillation as in designed to excite, promote, and sell his book.  As I said , perhaps in his own article.     There needs to be some balance when the Labour camp STILL describes Brown as some sort of an economic saviour.  The revelations by Darling (considering he was chancellor) are explosive.  Discussion needs to be had as to what kind of an incompetent Gordon Brown is exactly. Off2riorob: You think it was all Alistair Darlings fault? I think you want to keep discussion of Darlings' memoirs off this page because it's embarrassing to Brown.    :Please keep your opinionated attacks against the living subject of this article to yourself and off this talkpage. - WP:BLP applies just as much on a talkpage as on an article.    ::That is pretty rich. Off2riorob's own comments about Alistair Darling could easily be interpreted as slander. WP:BLP applies just as much to Darling as it does to Brown. Any further outbursts like that will be reported to the BLP noticeboard. People in glass houses ought not to throw stones.    :::Give over. You are boring me now. Just take the page off your watchlist and we will get on better - is that IP you?    ::::You are really starting to ratch
