I, too, don't really care. I consider his achievements much more important.

"[Gordy] is clearly tougher than those ministers who were plotting against him, but proved themselves serial wincers and flinchers" very true. But I doubt any of the calls have been from cabinet ministers..

It's not great but, like with football managers, I don't really care too much about their methods. Have any Man Utd players accused of being a bully? No, they'd get told to pull themselves together.

Overall, I don't think it really matters
