Gordon Brown – power at any cost!! He has lost the election but is not man enough to resign.
He must be able to see the damage that New Labour have done to the UK over the last 14 years.
I have no doubt that Brown is the worst leader that the UK has had in modern times.
Brown has a reputation of being ‘strong on the economy’. Where did this come from? Why does anyone believe it?
Brown started power with the Golden Inheritance from the last Conservative government and has turned a strong UK economy into a basket case in 14 years!
The UK economy now has huge debts which are going to take years to pay off. We are all going to heavily taxed in everything we do or buy. We have years of austerity ahead of us. Our economy is being mentioned in the same sentences as Greece (and not as an example of what a good economy should be).’
Brown is ‘capable of managing our economy’ – no, Brown has proven that he is not able to manage the UK economy. The proof is all around you!!!

It has been an interesting pre-election period.
I think that the Gordon Brown and New labour campaigning has been quite shameful and cynical.
The insistence of campaigning by scare tactics intended to worry the vulnerable and the elderly will be how history records the New Labour campaign.
There has been a lot of this negative campaigning from New Labour. Even Gordon Brown has been telling people what the Conservatives are going to do rather than being focused on what New Labour propose!
The Libdems have participated in the campaign much more than normal. There is still the risk that they will be squeezed out by the two main parties, except possibly in marginal seats where tactical voting would seem to be going to take place! It would be good if they replaced New Labour forever as the second party in the UK.
I believe that the UK is in a critical point in its history. The UK is so seriously in debt that we have to get this under control very fast. It is not just the published debt figures. Most of the new schools and hospitals have been built on debt that is accumulated in the Private Finance Initiate (PFI). The PFI debt includes a lot of debt from various sources and is not included in the UK official debt figures.
New Labour took the Golden Inheritance from the last Conservative government and turned it into a recession with the UK so saddled with debts that we will all be paying back the debts for many years to come.
We will all be taxed very heavily to screw more money out of us. We will all have to pay higher prices for everything we buy, including electricity and gas!
The UK is at risk of going the same way as Greece, with our debt getting junk status.
New Labour, that mostly means Gordon Brown, has caused the banking crisis (Brown took away controls on the banks which led to the credit crunch and recession) and has brought the UK to the brink of bankruptcy.
I haven’t even mentioned the wars in Iran and Afghanistan which we should not be involved in!
Labour have failed us, they do not deserve to be in power again.

If your doctor messed up an operation on you, would you use them again?
If your accountant messed up your accounts and you subsequently had tax problems, would you use them the next year?
If your child carer did a bad job, would you still use them to care for your children?
New Labour took the Golden Inheritance from the last Conservative Government and turned it into the most massive debt that the UK has ever had.
We will be paying now for many years with increased taxes and higher prices as a result. We will have to work longer before retiring on lower pensions.
What a mess our economy is in.
We have learnt how Labour runs the UK. It would not be sensible to let them do all this again!!!!

Some of the Labour leadership are now telling people not to vote for Labour but to use ‘tactical’ voting instead.
This indicates that Labour’s internal polling and analysis of voting intentions is showing Labour that they cannot win the election.
It could even be showing that the Labour party is heading for a massive defeat, possibly placing them in third place.
The Labour leaders are panicking big time in telling their people not to vote for them. Peter Hain is quoted as saying ‘I think it’s important for people to act intelligently in this election‘.
I certainly agree with that and the intelligent option is to throw this lousy government out of office!

The end for Brown is nigh once his own supporters are saying things about Brown such as ‘he is the worst Prime Minister the UK has had’.
I can see where these people are coming from!
New Labour, that is Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, came into power taking or themselves what is called ‘the Golden Inheritance’ of the previous Conservative government.
Whatever Labour supporters say about their view on the Conservative party, the ‘Golden Inheritance’ is fact!!
So what has Gordon Brown , and one cannot exclude Tony Blair in this criticism, done with such an inheritance and such a strong economy over the last 14 years?
The answer is clear and very damning to the reputations of both Brown and Blair as well bringing the Labour party into disrepute.
The answer is that they turned a booming economy and a Golden Inheritance into the biggest debt that the UK has ever had (possibly even including the war years).
Our debt levels are so high that the UK risks the same financial treatment as Greece! Every person in the UK is now going to have to pay for years to come increased taxes and higher prices.
When one looks at the state of the economy when Brown came into power, and the complete mess that he has made of the UK economy, then it is a no brainer that he really is the worst prime minister the UK has ever had.
He hasn’t had to deal with any real crisis except the ones he caused, such as the banking crisis and the credit crunch. His answer to any problems is to simply spend more of our money.
Brown wanted to pay MPs more money without raising their salaries, so he changed the rules for MPs expenses allowing MPs to claim for so much more and, the critical point, having all these extra expenses approved by the officials running the system.
Claiming that our soldiers had ‘all the equipment’ they needed when the snatch land rover was clearly vulnerable to roadside bombs was either not understanding what was going on or the wrong attitude towards the safety of our soldiers!
Think back to all the failures of computer systems implemented by this government. They might have worked eventually but almost all of them failed when first introduced.
What was good economic management in taxing people’s pensions as Brown personally introduced? Reducing pensions reduces quality of life for retired people. It also means many people will have to work for longer. What was the point of doing this? We do not have enough jobs for everyone as it is!!
The NHS receives so much money that it really has no reason not to be an excellent service! But what about the care of the elderly and the long-term sick? Do these aspects of the NHS work well? I suggest not. Just read how the elderly and those with dementia etc are treated.
I suggest that Brown really does deserve the title of ‘worst prime minister’ in modern times.

What an economic mess has been made by this Labour government!
It does not surprise me that white-collar ‘boom’ towns in the South have been turned to benefit blackspots under this lousy government.
These towns are truly representative of the way that Brown and Labour have managed the UK economy. They have brought us to the brink of bankruptcy!
It may even be too late to avoid the IMF taking over the running the UK economy.
It looks like Labour are going to be punished by the electorate for their appalling management of the UK. I don’t want people blaming all politicians in general for the mess that Brown, Blair and Labour have made of the UK! The fault is with Labour and it is Labour that should be punished!

Gordon Brown appears to be finding out on the doorstep that people do not like the financial mess that he and New Labour have landed us in.
And all of the Labour supporters who voted for Labour should be feeling very guilty about the economic mess that the people they voted for landed us in.
If you voted for Labour just don’t complain about the extra taxes you will have to pay over the years and the increased prices for everything you want to buy and the necessary cuts in public services that have to take place!

No Mr. Brown, You have not paid a big price for your ‘bigot’ comment.
You have paid a big price for taking the ‘Golden Inheritance’ from the last Conservative government and turning this pot of gold into the most massive debt that all of us in the UK will now have to suffer for years to pay back.
I do not understand how you even think that you have a chance of getting re-elected when you have caused such an economic meltdown of the UK finances.
You are almost the last person in the world who can claim to be capable of sorting out the mess which you caused in the first place!!
We have huge debt levels as a result of your financial policies. Our debt risks becoming junk which will cost us all even more of our money.
And your campaign for the election is based on increasing our debts even more because you don’t feel that you should start to reduce UK debts for the next year. Which will cost us all more money and increased debt.

It is being said that Blair has returned to help Gordon out.
The man who took us into several wars on very dubious, if not misleading, grounds, and we are still in Afghanistan taking causalities.
So how will Blair help Brown? He is just visiting, I wouldn’t have thought that Blair was going to give up all that money he was earning! He might give encouragement to a few wavering Labour supporters, but nothing has changed regarding the total mess that Brown, and Blair and Labour have made of the UK economy whilst in power.
Do we believe Tony Blair now when he tells us stuff? I don’t. Not since he told us that Iraq could bomb us in 40 minutes!
Blair and Brown – the team that removed the controls over the banks and allowed them to take the risks that led to the credit crunch and the bank failures.
All in all, the presence of Blair will remind us of so much negative stuff about Labour being in power and wars and debt and the near collapse of the UK economy, etc., that most people will not vote for Gordon!

New Labour is STILL trying to blame the woman!!!
This is appalling behaviour by a prime minister! Can he not simply own up to making a mistake?
Does Brown have to go to extreme lengths to prove that he was right after all, even though it was all his fault?
How far will Brown go to blame the woman (and this was one of his lifelong supporters!) for his own arrogant and intemperate behaviour?
It all goes to show how unfit for power Brown is, let alone the Labour party itself – an organisation from the history of the UK with absolutely no relevance in today’s modern society!
