I have NO sympathy with Brown and how he is going to cope now he has given up politics. Brown has left an awful mess for us all to suffer and pay for over the years to come.
Brown is not going to struggle to pay his bills but the consequences of his term in power is that millions of people are going be in financial difficulties with extra taxes, extra charges, unemployment and a lower standard of living.
The population of the UK are going to change their views of Brown, Blair and New Labour once the consequences of this failed government start to effect them.

At last, I have waited a long time for this!
One thing for sure, I was not wrong about my not wanting a Labour government over the last 14 years! It was always going to be a disaster, the only difference this time is that it has taken longer than normal for New Labour to collapse!
I have always known that this government would end in a financial crisis with serious consequences for the people, because that is what Labour governments do!
Our debt levels are massive. People will be very shocked when they see the extent of our indebtedness and the consequences that it will have on them.
Brown kept us ignorant of the state of the economy during the election period. Why? If there was any good news about our economy don’t you think that it would be exploited during the election campaign?
This policy prevented the opposition to give us their detailed plans, but it also hid the state of the UK economy during the election!
I trust that the Conservatives will give us a full statement about the economy as soon as possible, because they won’t want to be blamed for the huge debts that Brown has incurred in our name! But it is a balancing act because it could unsettle the financial markets.
Cameron will find it difficult increasing taxes and raising extra money from us all unless people understand that this is needed to repay debts incurred by Brown and New Labour!
Yes we have more new schools and hospitals now. But the country needs to know if we have actually paid for them already or are we going to have to pay for them out of increased taxes for years to come in the future?
Blair and Brown took over running the country 14 years ago. They started with the ‘Golden Inheritance’ from the last Conservative government. Until the Credit Crunch (Oh why did Brown change the banking regulations which resulted in us suffering so much from the Credit Crunch!!!) the UK was doing well.
Since the Credit Crunch all this government seem to have done is to increase our indebtedness, even to the extent of giving money away to other countries!
We now seem to have a Conservative government about to take over. They have to deal with a real mess. We will suffer financial pain as a result. But don’t blame the Conservatives who are sorting it out. Blame the Blair, Brown and Darling for their inept management of the economy which has dumped us with all this debt!

Of course the Liberals want electoral reform. They are a small political party without that much support in the UK.
They have a reasonable amount of support but not as much as the two main parties. So why do they want political power which exceeds the size of the party itself?
The political power is in the two larger parties and, strangely enough, there are many, many more citizens of the UK who are members and/or supporters of the two larger parties.
I am concerned that many people are now proclaiming the praises of the LibDems, just because they are comparing the TV performances of three individuals.
An idiot savant could stand up neatly dressed in front of a TV audience and say exactly the right things and come over as a pleasant human being and end up being elected to run the country. Is this what we want? To measure potential prime ministers by their abilities to perform on TV and to select them on that basis?

This is what Gordon Brown has refused to tell people. The perilous state of the UK economy has been ignored by Gordon Brown during this election. Yet it is probably the most important topic of the whole election.
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.
This is why Labour do not deserve to get back into power!!

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!!!!

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.

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!

The Bank of England Governor Mervyn King is absolutely right. The UK financial mess is huge.
Labour have cynically hidden the true state of the UK’s finances from us during the election campaign.
They are desperate to get back into power so that they can keep the pretence going that that Labour are capable of running the UK economy!
But the huge financial mess that we are in is the best reason of all to dump this lousy government and replace it with a Conservative government.
I would then like to see Cameron going public with the full state of the UK finances. Then we would all know how big the problem (challenge) is for Cameron to deal with.
