We have paid our taxes for all of our lives. This has included elements of care for the elderly in care homes!
How many people’s pensions would have been enough to keep them in their old age? That was before Brown decimated pension values by heavily taxing them!
So lets have the death tax to provide care for the elderly.
Another tax on individuals.
Labour don’t seem to have any solutions that do not involve taxing us more heavily!
This current debate is not a sign of planning for the future etc. but it is proof of the profligacy of New Labour in government.
Not only have they almost bankrupted the UK they would seem to have spent all the money paid by the UK workers for their care when they are elderly!

Labour have all the facts and figures of the UK economy. They know which departments of government can be cut and they know the cost savings!
Yet they won’t share that with the other parties!
They are benefiting themselves before the needs of the UK population. As far as I am concerned this is a treasonable act!
But it won’t benefit New Labour that much! They have had the economic facts and figures for over thirteen years now. But they still put us into a massively damaging recession!

Our government plans massive fines of a £1000 for people who simply make a mistake of having the wrong rubbish in the wrong bin!
This is an appalling move by this government whose job is too ensure a fair and equitable society with an emphasis on helping those who are not that well off!!!
How can any elected government propose to treat people so badly?
Most people simply do not have £1000 or anything like it in order to pay these fines. It would absolutely ruin them. They could easily end up losing everything once bailiffs and the courts got involved.
This government knows that the most likely people to make such mistakes are the lower paid, the pensioners and the more vulnerable members of our society.
How can a family who have perhaps only £80 a week for all their food bills, travel, clothes etc. even begin to pay off such a fine. In such families even a £50 fine is crippling.
Yet a banker can pay a £1000 from the petty cash!!! New Labour have lost touch with the concept of an equitable society. It would seem that the Labour Government members now see themselves as ‘upper class’ and have lost all desire for an equitable society provided they get massive salaries for themselves, loads of perks, and own a number of houses!
After 14 years of New Labour, the UK is close to bankruptcy and the average person in the UK is suffering financially through lost jobs, many have lost their mortgages, most have no savings, most are looking forward to a difficult few years due to the failure of the economy.
Only the worst dictatorships can get away with treating their people with such indifference!!!

I heard Brown yesterday say that he would stay as PM if he was re-elected. He seems to have forgotten that he was never elected as PM in the first place.
Brown is a very good example of the dangers and folly of allowing anyone positions of authority over a country without being elected by the people. If people get a chance to elect someone who turns out to be useless, then they have no one to blame but themselves. That is the way the system works.
But Brown was not elected.
That is the main reason, in my view, why people are so against New Labour now that Brown has taken the UK from an economy in a really good position (remember the Golden Inheritance of the last Conservative government?) and almost bankrupted the UK and leaving us with debts that will take twenty years of austerity to pay off!
Brown has messed up this country big-time! And he was not elected by the people, he was foisted on us by this Labour government. Both will take the blame for the mess that the economy and the country is in.

I am not sure how much we can help! We certainly cannot keep giving away the taxpayers money to other people. We are not rich enough to keep doing this.
I would suggest that Zambia is better placed financially to help fund the global warming activities!
Any money that Mr Brown pledges is adding to our debt levels. What right has Brown got to do this? He is making himself look important whilst putting us all deeper into debt.
I sometimes wonder if he really understands the mess that the UK is in. Or is he more like those people who get themselves deep in debt and cannot cope with the idea of failure and are really in denial of the whole situation.

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!!

There is a real attempt going on in the media, particularly the BBC, to belittle the Conservative leadership because of their background and upbringing.
This would not be allowed if it was attacking people on the basis of race, colour, gender or sexual orientation!!
But the BBC are happy to allow attacks on the Conservatives based on their backgrounds.
Yet the background and wealth and upbringing of the Conservative leadership is generally similar to the background of the Labour leadership.
(I seem to remember that a previous Conservative leader is the only leader of the main parties who did not attend private or public school)
Are the Labour leadership so bereft of policies that they are encouraging these attacks based on class??
I expect it from the BBC. I am surprised that the Labour leadership dare use this tactic as they are all from similar backgrounds themselves.
Ability is the main difference between the leadership of the two main parties. That is how Brown took the Golden Inheritance and turned it into a huge debt that will take many years of austerity by the ordinary people of the UK to pay off!

Welsh Secretary Peter Hain has said ‘Labour must expose the Tories‘ and ‘they had been given an easy ride by everybody‘.
Of course they have had an easy ride! Labour have been so appalling in government over the last 12 years that anyone, even the Lib Dems, look very, very good compared to Gordon Brown and New Labour!
Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have taken us to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. There does not seem to have been any grounds for these wars. Now, of course, we are under continual threat by the people whom we attacked first!
If we hadn’t been part of the invasion of Iraq and then participated in a war against the Afghan people then we would not have spent a fortune in war materials and dealing with our injured soldiers! Nor would we need all this enhanced security and be continually defending ourselves from attacks by terrorists!
Oh I nearly forgot! Gordon Brown was chancellor and then prime minister and completely failed to regulate the financial industry and the banking industry. He appears to have completely missed the fact that our country was at risk from financial meltdown over the years before the meltdown actually happened!
I really don’t understand how anyone could expect the person who put the UK finances in such dire straits to be capable of getting us out of trouble. And it is looking as though other countries are coming out of recession whilst we look forward to many years of high taxes, cuts in services and huge debts!
My message to the Labour party conference is ‘be loyal to your leader and stick with him despite what he has put us through’. That we we can get rid of all of you at the next election!

Two mothers, whose families have been friends for years, are not allowed to look after each others children.
Why not!
Because Gordon Brown has passed laws which are meant to deal with child abuse but apply to everyone in the country.
Childminders need to be police checked. Fine, no problem with that. But it is a million miles away from two women who have known each other for years and help to look after each others children!
Of course there are categories of people who need to be cleared to work with children. But these people are normally, at least to start with, strangers to families. Schoolteachers, youth club leaders, doctors, there are many other categories, are part of a child’s life for a short time in most cases. These people are mostly not known to parents, and they should be cleared to work with children.
Family friendships can be for a lifetime, applying the law in these cases is just crass!
Want to know why Brown is seen by so many people as a useless prime minister? It is because he is completely out of touch with reality. I do wonder if he only employs advisers who agree with everything he says!
Yes there have been some bad cases of child abuse. But there always will be some bad cases of child abuse! Laws or no laws! These rules are being applied to the 99.99% of the population who do not abuse children. Passing bad laws that legislate for specific situations always end up applying to the bulk of the population, people who are not doing anything wrong but are just living their lives in a completely proper and competent manner.
Brown will claim that this is all to protect children. But has he passed any laws yet that will ban any person on the children at risk register from having their own children?
Can he really justify applying laws to everyone except families who have a parent who is actually registered as a risk to children?
