This is in no way meant to be a political comment, just a life and experience point.
You do have to wonder what Gordon Brown must be thinking when he sits quietly contemplating the last few months. His aspirations of becoming PM and the build-up to that, followed by the seemingly never ending attacks on anything he trys to do. In one of todays papers for example, is an article titled 'Gordon is a Moron'.
Try and put yourself in that situation, I know I would be seriously thinking 'what the B*****H*** have I done.
Dick Smith wrote:BB - I'm a committed Labour supporter, and I find myself asking precisely the same question. What the BH has he done?Like they say, it's a lot easier to lose a race than to win one.
In a week where an Australian trader in London, apparently called Troy, has refused to take £125 million basic pay as too little (!!!) and Government having sought to tax the poor who were actually bothering to work, and could not see how this was technically and morally wrong, and in the ten plus years that NuLab sprang to power, I don't see how any lifelong Labour supporter could vote for the current gang of shambling incompetents!
Surely Socialism is about Wealth Redistribution, not favouring the rich over the poor? (Not that I agree with this necessarily, BTW).
The stark reality is that Godron has boasted for ten years about prudent financial management, whilst all the regulators have been asleep and now the wheels have come off and he can't blame the previous incumbent of Number 11!
He ought to, of course: every time each morning he looks at himself in the mirror to shave.
Tricky, really, when the music stops and there are no spare chairs.........................
Listening, for a wee while this morning to Call Me Dave being interviewed by Andrew Marr, until I was sickened by Dave's whittering nonsense and obvious lack of any cogent economic policies, this leaves only Vince Cable as the sole politician to have spoken with any clear vision, knowledge and authority on both taxation and the economy of recent.
And let's face it, who in their right mind could countenance voting for the mixed rag bag of lunatics which is the Lib Dems?
Well, I suppose it is said that a country receives the government it deserves..............................
The 10p tax debacle was bad enough (my daughter earns more than my son, yet she was better off and he was worse off - mad) but more concerning is the effect that having the two major parties fighting for the middle ground has on democracy.
Bring back Old Labour, give the electorate a real choice !
Frank Field for PM, Russet?
