Gordon Brown is now a Tory asset By Charles Moore When Good King Wenceslas looked out, you will remember, it was the Feast of Stephen (Boxing Day). The snow lay round about, and the frost was cruel. He saw a poor man ("gathering winter fu-u-el"), and wanted to help him. Assisted by his page, he piled up flesh, wine and pine-logs, and set off in the blizzard. News: Spin doctor no 8 joins...
