Letter: Wrong man

There have been various reports that Gordon Brown is being touted (possibly by himself) as the next managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Is this wise?

It is now generally accepted that his decisions as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the tripartite governance of the banking sector, his refusal to accept that economies ebb and flow ("abolished boom and bust") and his idea of running a deficit annual budget from 2001 were all very wrong.

He has also been reported as being less than conciliatory and prone to not listening to other opinions, and the abilities needed for this post do not seem to coincide with his.
