It seems to me that a lot of folk on here are worried about the BNP because you have all mentioned them quite a lot.
I never voted for them but I do have to agree with one of their points.
And this is it!Now, is it right that a, shall we say Somalian family, (I use the Somalians as it is a true example of where I live), should be allowed into this country (yes I know about there plight) given a free place to live almost immediately when Grace next door to me (86 year old house bound lady) cannot afford to have her heating on for more than a couple of hours a day?
Personally I think its wrong. But then I am old fashioned.
For the record, we had Grace in our house during the winter to keep he warm. (And she loves washing up
)Indeed, there’s a case to made that Cameron’s political antenna has let him down, because Brown cantered all over him at PMQ’s last week, despite having been harpooned by two of his own ministers the day before.
I would imagine cameron did not want to mow Broon down last week, thus helping him out of a job. Surely Cameron knows that this buffoon is his gretest political ally, and the thought of Brown not leading them into the next election would be a nightmare for Cameron.
The poor Liberals who are the only consistently pro-Euro party languish back in fourth.
The world is going mad and we all deserve what we get.
.. I think the Liberals got 15% of the vote and yet our political system takes us further into Europe and only 15% of the 38% of the voting population support it. That’s how we end up with nobody really giving a toss about politics, because it doesn’t matter who wins really.
The world is going mad and I think people who voted for the main parties will live to regret it. This constant push down the fantasy capitalist/socialist utopia is over, we are all going to be working until we’re 106 years of age to pay off the national debt.
You miss the point Dave!
The public attention span for politics now appears to be no longer than the sound bite of someone like Nick Robinson giving his views in the grassy area out side of Westminster. That few seconds of contrived hype is what determines most peoples political views. Its all very shallow with the press making the news rather than reporting it.
If you spent as little time studying horse racing form you would not expect to back many winners. Thats why we end up with the politicians we have.
Actually, I can’t be ar**ed talking about this anymore. Going to settle down with a nice little malt and chill studying the form for Hamilton tomorrow night.
Can anyone tell me what exactly Gordon Brown has done wrong? And what exactly would David Cameron do to make whatever he has done better?
I think a lot of this backlash against Brown is jumping on a bandwagon. He seems a really nice bloke and would much prefer him running country to Cameron.
Off the top of my head………….
He deregulated the markets as Chancellor, and tried to proclaim himself as saviour when he tried to put out the fire he essentially started.
As Prime Minister, he appointed a Chancellor who told us in July 2008 that there was no credit crunch, and that even if there was, the UK was uniquely positioned among European economies, to ride any storm better than the rest. Four weeks later, the same Chancellor – with a straight face – told us that we faced the worst recession in 70 years, and were in a worse position than any other major European economy.
He has not delivered on large parts of the manifesto that Labour were elected on.
If you are Prime Minister, you should be judged less on what you have done wrong, but rather on what you failed to do right.
IMO, of course.
