    Predictions for changes once Brown has settled in

    So now we have Stalin Brown as president of the UK.

    What is going to change?

    Will it be New Labour continues in the style of Blair, or are we going to see a very left wing shift in approach?

    I predict some (more) hugely unpopular tax hikes for middle to upper earners on the basis of "fairness"

    BTL will be effectively taxed out of existence.

    Immigration will be relaxed and population will boom.

    The greenbelts will be built over with nasty concrete Soviet style "affordable" housing at an incredible pace.

    Cars will be fitted with tracking devices and only the super rich will travel.

    Our ties to the US weakened.

    Join the Euro without any referendum.

    ID cards rushed through without a referendum.

      He will finally tax fresh air, as breathing too much will increase your carbon footprint.
      Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

            How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

              That would all have happened under Blair.. Are you saying it'll be somehow WORSE under Brown?! Or better under Cameron?

                So we have Brown who stands for very hardline left wing communism, tax and spend, which is preferable to Cameron who stands for family values, green issues and individual freedoms.

                Tough choice.

                  Hard line left wing communism? He's looking to nationalise all private enterprise, confiscate all private property and abolish other political parties an elections is he?

                  I see it as a choice between:

                  GB - incompetent who was complicit in a war crime
                  DC - PR ****** who only stands for getting into power

                  I'll soil my ballot paper as usual.
