What’s in a name? Will Shakespeare’s next line is hardly applicable in Gordon Brown’s tragic circumstances. Nothing smells sweet about the election results, whatever you might want to call them. Labour MP Bob Marshall-Andrews has likened the PM to a tragic Shakespearean hero (we think he said hero). But he hasn’t said which one. Westminster wags have been spoilt for choice. How about the ambitious Scotsman who stabs his leader in the back then fluffs the job he inherits? Of course, Macbeth. Or a leader who messes up a plan for redistributing wealth? King Lear. Or what about Hamlet – racked with indecision and never knowing the answer to the question? “The man who came to dither” is another suggestion to crop up, while the CentreRight.com blogger Simon Chapman has come up with “the fiddler on the hoof”… Ouch.
