They are all responsible for being part of what has probably been the worst Labour government of modern times.

Brown and Darling will take more of the blame and responsibility by virtue of their positions in the government.

But all the senior ministers  have been part of a government which has almost bankrupted the UK, taken us to unnecessary wars and brought our economy to its knees.

What short memories they have!!

How can any of these people have any credibility with any financial policies that they may want to promote.

They are all already tainted with a message of financial failure and will carry this message of failure for the rest of their lives!

It means that the two parties need to make some compromises of their policies to avoid friction. But that happens anyway within a single government!!

The Conservatives have a left and a right wing which have to work together.

New Labour have Blairites and Brownites who have to work together!

So the idea of rifts and splits with the government is no more than happens in every government!

But I also see this as an equivalent to the war-time coalition government of 1945. We have serious financial problems with the UK close to bankruptcy and the risk of the IMF coming in to run the UK.

Gordon Brown has hidden the true state of the UK economy from us.

New figures from the European Commission revealed today that the UK budget deficit will outstrip any country in the EU this year – including Greece.

European Commissioner Olli Rehn warned that the UK’s ‘very high’ public debt presents ‘by far the first and foremost challenge’ to the winner of tomorrow’s general election.

We are prime candidates to go the same way as Greece and need to be bailed out by the IMF.

Is this not an absolute condemnation of Gordon Brown and New Labour who appear to have been totally incapable of even narrowing the gap between rich and poor!

What does New Labour actually stand for if they cannot help the poorest in our society?

Or is it the word ‘new‘ in their name that indicates that Labour has changed and no longer has no interest in the poorest and more vulnerable members of our society?

There has been a lot of talk recently about an energy ‘gap’ around 2016. What that means to the ordinary person is that there will be shortages of electricity at peak periods.

Why? Because the investment is not in place for our increasing demand for electricity to be met.

A contract was very recently agreed for four new, latest generation nuclear power stations. All very good but at least three years too late! The first station is due to be operating in 2018. That is if everything goes well and the planning permissions don’t spend years in the courts being granted!

Another aggravating factor is that a number of UK coal and oil power stations are due to be decommissioned by the end of 2015.

New fossil fuel power stations (mostly coal) are needed but global warming and climate change concerns means that they should only be operating with carbon capture technology – which isn’t available yet!

Note that a number of fossil fuel power stations are needed by 2015 just to stand still, ie to replace old stations going out of service .

Renewable energy sources are promising. Wind farms are producing electricity now, and more are due to be built. But wind farms only operate when there is wind! The fossil fuel and nuclear stations can be turned down when energy from renewable sources is available, but the fossil fuel and nuclear stations will have to be able to meet the peak demand for electricity on their own!

Businesses and private homes can do a lot by using electricity efficiently and avoiding heat loss through insulation etc but the real problem is in generating electricity efficiently.

The government has the job to ensure that the lights do not go out. At this moment of time it would seem that they are failing in their responsibilities!

Gordon Brown is claiming that our troops are fighting in Afghanistan in order to stop the threat of terrorism in the UK.

He is right! But his actions in the first place are the reason why we now have to deal with this threat against us. But the consequences of going to war against any country is that the people of that country will fight back!

What does Gordon Brown think that victory in the war in Afghanistan means. I don’t remember ever hearing him define what he thinks that beating the taliban actually means.

I have heard Brown saying that his intention is to train the Afghan government troops to carry on the war against the taliban themselves. But this is not going to stop the attacks against the UK and UK interests around the world. It simply gets our soldiers out of Afghanistan.

Getting peace for the UK and the USA means that all extremists, mostly Islamic, are prepared to stop bombing us at home and abroad.

It is possible that there is no way of getting peace in the war against terrorism. Brown, Blair and Bush have opened Pandora’s box. We cannot put the lid back on.

I think that the actions of these three leaders have cursed the world for a very long time. They will not go down in history in any other terms!
