ARTICLE SUMMARYBrown will never restore Labour's fortunesIT IS DIFFICULT to conceive of a scenario in which Gordon Brown restores Labour's fortunes to a degree that he can extend his stay at Number 10 Downing Street thanks to the British electorate. |

LABOUR'S FORTUNES
12.05.08, 12:28pm
It's not only about the 10p tax, it's about everything else aswell, what about the blatent lies they've told re the EU referendum, the deaths from c diff in hospitals. The lies regarding the crime figures, inflation at two and a half percent when we all know it's more like 15, the Iraq war. When we do get a chance to vote it will be as much about honesty as anything else, and as Wendy Alexander would say,"bring it on".

BROWN TO RESTORE LABOUR?
05.05.08, 9:36pm
What has happened is that there has finally been a breakthrough in intelligence , and this bunch of Scottish commies with the intellect of a hubcap have aggrieved even the dumbest of our countrymen and women. The Scottish have always hated us, liiterally, been jealous of us - they came down here to royally screw us, and suck our money trough dry. And boy did they do a job!!Let them have their "independance", please do, but keep their greedy fingers out of OUR hard eaned cash reserves. Sink or swim? You will sink like brass lifebelt.

BROWN MUST GO
05.05.08, 8:45pm
Brown has not been elected prime minister of this country.
He has raided my final salary pension in 1997
He has gone back on the 10Pence tax
We are taxed now far more than at any other time in the past or any other country for that matter
Oil producers have put the petrol price up but even then nowhere near the tax per litre its a scandal
Car tax up again and again
Council tax up again
We just do not earn enough to live confortable anymore
I cannot claim my TV licence back neither can I claims more than one pint of beer when I am away from home on business because its taxable
Lets get ris of Brownand the labour party now
All we need is a vote of no confidence passed by the house of commons, and yes we have a general election
Regards
Royce

CONCEIT
05.05.08, 8:03pm
I have always been staggered that Labour imagined that they could run the country. About five of them have some capability, ( they have been sidelined) the rest are conceited numbskulls. They have sold Britain to the EU by not bothering to read the text of various treaties. In their time, we have become a banana republic, with no morals, no national identity and no hope. The equivalent of Belgium or Italy. A nation of obscure celebrities, who can sing and dance and do nought else.

BROWN WILL NEVER RESTORE EITHER LABOUR'S FORTUNES, NOR THAT OF THE COMMON MAN !
05.05.08, 6:56pm
Brown is now making all these noises because the Electorate have castigated him and his administration.
However remember this and remember it well.
ANY CONCESSIONS THAT HE PROPOSES FROM NOW ON ARE NOT DUE TO HIS DESIRE TO BE FAIR TO MIDDLE ENGLAND.
Over the past 11 years he has consistently taxed at every opportunity.
If the Electorate were taken in by any crumbs that he now throws at us you can be as sure as the Euro is a Euro that if his party was re-elected in 2 years time THEREAFTER HE WOULD MAKE US PAY AND PAY DEARLY FOR THE DRUBBING , EMBARRASMENT AND HEARTACHE THAT WE HAVE JUST CAUSED HIM.
TAKE THE CRUMBS GLADLY BY ALL MEANS BUT REMAIN AWARE THAT FORCED CHANGES IN POLICY ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR POLICIES THAT ARE GENUINE.
WE NEED A NEW GOVERNMENT WHO WILL "BAT FOR BRITAIN"

' BLAIR,BROWN,BYRNE. TRATORS ALL ! '
05.05.08, 3:42pm
I do not believe that this once great nation will ever recover from the irreparable damage that this infamous trio have done. Aided and abetted by a bunch of gutless politicians that are intent upon giving away our Country,and destroying the very things we once dear.
Yet they still continue to insult our intelligence by trying to fool 'all of the people,all of the time'.
Whatever,if ever,amends they try to make,it will be far to little,and far too late.

GORDON BROWN
05.05.08, 2:48pm
The appearence of PM in the press, one can easily conclude from his face impressions poses that he realise with all sincerenty the mistake he made.
Success and defeat are the part of human life son the people should'nt make a it a presitge symbol.
I am confident he will overcome the present crisis and the issues would be resolved in the party's best interest.

BROWN CAN'T HEAR
05.05.08, 11:15am
I'm fed up with Brown's comments over the weekend telling everyone, who was willing to listen, that he feels the pain, hears us and is going to do something about it.
A company I worked for had a Japanese contractor working for them and at meetings their favorite word was HI, which means Yes. We soon discovered that when they responded to a question with HI, all it really meant was yes we have heard you and not, Yes we understand.
I'm afraid Brown's mind is in that Japanese mode, yes he hears you but he does not understand.
And there is no point in trying to send him back to Scotland, we tumbled him and the whole pack of Labour cronies a long time ago, just as we did with the Tories...you can't get the proverbial cigarette paper between them, and is the main reason the SNP has done so well in Scotland. The only advise I would like to give the English voters is, be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

MC BEAN A TRAITOR
05.05.08, 10:48am
McBean on the Andrew Marr show, and Sky news yesterday, was the same old dour useless out of touch Scottish Socialist with the views of a Communist Dictator.Wake up people give your vote, to those that want to serve England and its people,not the aspirations of Scotland, and the EU,Scotland has already got its own party its the SNP,and what a likeable man Alex Salmond is , unlike McBean the traitor.

STRANGERS TO THE TRUTH
05.05.08, 10:44am
Gordon Brown and Harriet Harmann would not know the truth if they fell over it. I heard their pathetic pleas on TV over the weekend about "listening". But Blair said exactly that in times past. So just how many chances do they want? In the end it all comes down to trust and I would not buy a second-car from any NuLabour politician. My message to them is quite clear "THERES THE BLOODY DOOR - JUST WALK THROUGH IT"

VOTER

Spot on. Brown committed a strategic error when he foolishly misjudged the negative reaction to his treachery on the EU Con Treaty. Sadly, though, while he COULD redeem Labour's reputation by giving us a referendum even at this late stage, I have no confidence that he intends to do so. Brown committed political suicide for himself and the Labour Party by refusing to give us a democratic vote on the EU Con Treaty and he is too pig-headed to do a “U turn”.

LABOUR FORTUNES
05.05.08, 8:53am
So Gordon wants to stay on! The people who have the most reason to vote are in their mid-lives. However they will not realise until they retire what has befallen them. Good chance GB raided their pension funds 10 years ago and they will not get final salary related pension if it has been deferred. They will not be able to save up for their retirement as all of their money is paying for fuel, knock on effect of course is transporting food with the consequential rise in cost, heating bills, likelihood of rubbish tax and taxes yet to be invented. And they still vote labour!
