It seems to me that Brown is very, very confused about the reasons why the war in Afghanistan is going on.
He has said today:
‘we cannot, must not and will not walk away as long as Al-Qaeda continues to plot attacks on Britain from the region’
What region is this???
Does he mean Afghanistan? OR perhaps he means Iraq? or Pakistan? I am not aware of any group in Afghanistan plotting attacks on the UK.
Even if there were, there are Islamic extremists in many other countries of the world who may be plotting to attack the UK. ARE WE NOW GOING TO WAR AGAINST THEM!!
Pakistan should be a prime target for the UK IF Brown is concerned about Al-Qaeda plotting attacks on Britain!!
Brown has introduced other reasons for our involvement in the war in Afghanistan. This includes allowing women to be educated and other aspects of the way women are treated. So is the UK now going to attack all countries which treat women like this? Some sort of crusade throughout the world against Islam perhaps?
The whole political thinking and strategy of this government is a complete mess! Just like the way that they run the UK! So no surprise there!

It was public knowledge on the day that the banks were merged that this would not be accepted by European legislation!
Yet the government persisted with this move, even though they knew that they would have to spend more or our money undoing the merger.
This is not joined up government and will cost us, the taxpayers, billions more in the form of debt to be repaid over the years!
Another incompetent decision by this government?

All very well Johnson admitting that Labour have ‘made mistakes’ on immigration policy!
But New Labour’s real failure is in almost every area of government in that they completely FAILED to listen to any one else and implemented policies that were obviously going to fail!!
Brown and New Labour would appear to have no officials or ‘experts’ who are prepared to tell their bosses of potential problems with their policies.
Perhaps Brown and New Labour really believed that only employing ‘yes’ men and women would be beneficial to them!!
Whatever the reason is, this government has consistently implemented policies that have simply failed to work (and been very expensive).

Whatever the reason is, this government has consistently implemented policies that have simply failed to work (and been very expensive). They have consistently introduced computer systems that fail to achieve their aims (and end up being dumped or rewritten).They have consistently announced policies that failed to work.
There does seem to have been a ‘hidden agenda’ with New labour’s immigration policies. It would seem to be that their failure to manage immigration was in fact what the government wanted!
Did Brown really need to introduce policies to solve the credit crunch problems which would seem to have resulted in bigger, but different, problems for the UK!
Obviously some of what Brown has done regarding the credit crunch was needed. But was it really a rational choice to put the UK into such massive debt? It is beginning to look like the medicine may have cured the patient but, unfortunately, the patient died from the effects of the medicine!

I fail to understand how Blair the Warmonger would even be considered as the EU president!!
All the damage throughout Europe with terrorist attacks and the continual 24×7 risk of further bombings are the result of the UK, headed by Blair and Brown, invading Iraq and Afghanistan.
Blair has caused so much trouble throughout Europe with his apparent natural instinct to invade other countries. People seem to forget that in a fairly short time the UK was involved in THREE wars under Blair as prime minister.
Having Blair as the EU president is not a signal to the rest of the world that the EU is a potential threat to them!

There is a serious charge facing Blair, Brown and New Labour. There is a possibility that they could they be faced with accusations of betraying the UK?
Were Blair and Brown really prepared to bring in so many foreigners that the white English vote would be in the minority?
Was this all about keeping New Labour in power for generations? Changing the ethnic make up of the UK would change the political landscape and give Labour a built in majority at every election.
Perhaps all New Labour’s useless immigration controls and their failure to send back illegal immigrants were meant to fail. Perhaps they are preparing to legitimise all the illegal immigrants and give them the vote?
Even the BNP would seem to care more for our country than New Labour does!!!!
We need an election and we need it now!

The UK is now in a record recession, and this is not a good thing.
Some people are doing OK during the recession, in fact those with money can buy houses, businesses etc cheaply. These people are in the minority!
Those without work are really suffering, losing their businesses , their jobs and worse, their houses.
We are now in the worst financial situation since the 1950s. New Labour have failed completely. Even disregarding the fact that their policies have put us in a dreadful financial situation, it is clear that they have no idea how to get us out of recession. They seem to be simply waiting for an upturn in the economy which can only happen purely by chance!!
We need action now! The government is now simply waiting for next May when they will be rejected by the electorate because of the dreadful way they have managed the economy.
I would like to see Brown put the UK before himself and call an election now so that a government with a mandate from the people can get straight to work fixing our broken economy.
Every day Brown and New Labour stay in power is another day that the UK economy is being damaged.

It seemed that Jack Straw came over worse than Mr. Griffin.
The overall view of the debate seemed to be that the immigration policy of this Labour government was responsible for many of the problems in society that have that led some people to support the BNP.
After 12 years of Labour almost one million people have voted in various elections for the BNP. If we carry on as we are that number will probably increase!

We may not have reached the end of the expenses row yet!
There are many very upset MPs including many Labour MPs. These Labour MPs are very upset with Brown!
With the woeful showing of Brown in the polls, I would not be surprised if another challenge to Brown’s leadership emerges in the next few months.
If this does occur, then I suspect that Brown will not get the support of enough Labour MPs again. Revenge will be sweet, especially if it improves Labour’s standing in the polls!

I like the way that Gordon Brown could not even organise an investigation that would keep him in the clear!
Why would he give the investigator the right to change the expenses rules retrospectively with the result that MPs who had followed the rules and been in the clear were now branded as cheats and thieves?
Most enquiries of this sort recommend changes of the rules that need to be introduced! And then everybody follows the recommendations!
This is a serious political mistake by Brown. He has inflamed the voters of this country against all politicians and MPs. What is he up to?
Cameron would have handled the situation very much better!!

According to the BBC reports Gordon Brown is to announce plans to raise £16bn to help the economy by selling local and central government assets.
But plans for selling them are not enough! Anyone can sell assets, especially if the price is cheap!!
We need to know the costs incurred on these assets and how much has been spent developing them. Otherwise we will not know if this is actually a good thing to do OR if we are gaining some cash and losing a fortune
