> What is your evidence for this.? Cameron and Gove, for example, are known for their good manners,whatever you think of their policies.In contrast to Brown who was infamous for bullying his juniors.
Millions of people would have seen Gove's bad manners in Parliament last year, that finally led the Speaker to give him '500 lines'. It was funny, but also deeply embarrassing, and also a bit shocking just how out of touch he was with real life. Braying like an immature schoolboy.
How Brown treated his minions in private is a completely different subject.

Not at all. But, I'll tell you, Tonbridge under McCrum did not tolerate the kind of arrogance you are now condoning.
