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!

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.

I still fail to understand how Brown can claim the credit for creating many thousands of new jobs and allowing nearly all of them to be taken by people from outside the UK.
Doesn’t Brown understand that UK citizens need those jobs. If non UK citizens take the jobs then most of the earnings go back to their home country to benefit their government!
This was effectively an investment in a foreign government, not a policy to help the UK.

Labour know the state of the UK economy. They have all the figures available BUT they are not releasing them to the public.
I can only think of one reason for them to do this and that is because the UK is in such a bad financial mess, obviously much worse than we can imagine!!
Otherwise there would be no need to conceal the details of the UK economy from us.
This is the first election I can remember when people do not seem to be bothered about the economic mess that the government of the day has left the UK in! They seem far more concerned about how well the candidates come over on TV!
I find this amazing. The next government could be in power for five years. What they do will effect people’s lives. Yet this election could be about nothing more than looking good on tv.
How dumbed down has the UK become in the last fourteen years?

The independent Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has blamed the three parties for failing to ‘come clean’ over the massive scale of spending cuts required to get us out of the financial mess the UK is in.
But the IFS needs to allow for the fact that Brown is refusing to share the UK national statistics showing what a bad state the UK is in.
This means the that the opposition parties cannot make firm plans because Labour are hiding the true state of the UK economy from them!

So Gordon Brown wants us to concentrate on policy does he?
Does Brown have any policies? All he does at the moment is to tell us to ignore the complete mess of the UK economy and to vote for him because he can fix it.
This is not a strong argument!
If Brown and New Labour could fix the financial problems then why are they not doing this now!
Brown and New Labour caused the credit crunch and all the resulting financial mess.
Brown and New Labour are good at making financial messes. I do not believe for a moment that they are capable of fixing the problems that they have caused!

The polls are moving in the right direction for Cameron. Still time to get a majority over Labour.
People must be beginning to recognise that Brown and New Labour have made such a mess of the UK economy that it would be foolish to expect them to able to fix the problems that have cause.
After all, the only thing that Brown and New Labour have proved so far is that they can take the Golden Inheritance from the last Conservative government and turn it into the biggest financial mess the UK has had!!
And Gordon and the cabinet did this all on their own, without the help of anyone one else!

Of course Brown knew about this shameful manipulation of the elderly and the vulnerable by Labour campaigning.
When Cameron challenged him on TV, Brown simply did not deny it. His words were carefully chosen to give the impression of denial but he did not answer well enough.
Brown simply did not deny knowing about this smear campaign. He could have said many things such as ‘I did not know about this’, ‘I am not aware of this’ etc.
Instead Brown said ‘I did not authorise it‘. In anybodies language that was an admission that he knew what was going on.

UK public borrowing is at record levels.
The UK government borrowed £163.4 billion in the financial year ending in March.
Tax receipts have fallen significantly. Too many people are out of work or earning minimum wages that do not attract tax. The Labour government is committed to paying huge public spending bills.
The nation’s borrowing almost doubled from the £96.5 billion cost last year.
Our borrowing is 11.5 per cent of national output (according to the Office for National Statistics).
This should give people an idea of the massive task ahead of us in clearing these debts. Each man, woman and child in the UK now has to find £15,000 each to clear this debt. (Obviously we are not each going to be asked to find £15000! – it is an average).
But, on average, we will pay this money through increased taxes, increased cost of living, new taxes, new and increased charges for everything, possibly 21% VAT, probably more parking regulations and higher fines across the board.
The government will have to get £15000 from each of us on average by hook or by crook.
This is what Brown and New Labour call success! It is what I call failure! How dare Brown adopt a financial policy which is going to hurt so many people over many years. Our government is meant to look after us , not milk us for everything we have got!
