An unexpectedly serious silly season
In April this year, Gordon Brown, announced in the Guardian that the public was moving away from an obsession with celebrity towards a new-found seriousness. Obviously, this was an expedient comment – in spite of the ‘bounce’ he is currently enjoying, Brown hardly has a reputation for lightheartedness.
But perhaps he is a better reader of the public mood than we have suspected until now. Because this summer – the time when even the broadsheets usually go to town on more frivolous stories – has been notable for its seriousness.
