Is it wrong of me to feel remarkably little sympathy for Gordon Brown over this? The closest I can come to sympathy for the man is for his children, who genuinely may be innocent victims in all this. But Brown is the man who shamelessly sucked up to the press - including those rags controlled by Murdoch - at the same time as shamelessly trying to manipulate and bully the press while getting others to smear his rivals. There are innocent victims in the scandal engulfing Murdoch's UK operations, but I struggle to see Gordo as one of them.
