I am sorry. There is no way to describe Brown other than unlucky. I can't believe the number of things that have happened since he became president, whoops, I mean prime minister. On top of the first bank run in over 100 years, foot and mouth, terrorism etc he now has to also contend with Bluetongue.
Now, to be fair, we have been expecting Bluetongue to arrive. It was only a matter of time. What makes it unlucky is the timing. This is really a summer disease. By now we all thought that we had escaped it for this year. But no, with Gordon, it was more a case of lulling us into a false sense of security. And although as a disease not as serious as Foot and Mouth, it comes on top of a time when the agricultural industry is already reeling. It is a heavy blow.
