He is Matthew Parris

I just read Matthew Parris' comment of Frudge? Consensus? Give me ding-dong politics any day in today's Times. He is talking about Brown's offer to Lord Ashdown. It is abtractive to me for I am about to write some comment on this issue too. This unsucessfully offer should be Brown's gambit as a British PM though he is still waiting until the next Week.

There is a brief about Matthew Parris from internet.

Born 7th August 1949 in Johannesburg, Matthew Parris was educated in Britain and Africa, graduating from Clare College, Cambridge and going on to study International Relations at Yale.Two years at the Foreign Office were followed by a spell at the Conservative Research Department. From 1977 until the 1979 General Election, he was on the staff of Mrs Thatcher's office.Elected Member of Parliament for West Derbyshire in 1979, he gave up his seat in 1986 to become presenter of LWT's Weekend World, a political interview programme.He led expeditions to Mount Kilimanjaro in 1967, 1989, Zaire 1973, the Sahara in 1978 and to Peru and Bolivia on several occasions. A keen runner, he has competed several times in the London Marathon, achieving two hours thirty-two minutes.His writings have included Parliamentary Sketchwriter for The Times and for the Investor's Chronicle. He is an occasional contributor to other publications. He is a frequent television and radio broadcaster. His first book, Inca-Kola in 1990 was about his travels in Peru. His second, in 1991, was a compilation of his pieces in The Times under the title 'So Far, So Good'.. Since then there has been an up-date of the compilation, published in 1993 (revised 1994) and called Look Behind You. Scorn, a book he has edited of quotations about curses, jibes and general invective, was published in October 1994.He was awarded the London Press Club's Edgar Wallace Outstanding Reporter of the Year Award in 1990, the British Press Awards Columnist of the Year for 1991 and 1993 and the `What the Papers Say' Columnist of the Year for 1992. In 1994 he won the national newspaper category in the annual media awards given by the Institute for the Study of Drug Dependency.Matthew Parris's style is often humorous, mainly light but sometimes with a more serious undercurrent.

At the same time, Brown also showed his veto on EU's issues. The summit can be combined with his offer to Lord Ashdown into my column this week. I mostly concern on demostic politics when I started my column. It is time to learn something abouth the relation between UK and EU.
