    The Case Against Brown

    Found this and thought it was a good summary!

    http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle5576686.ece
    "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

    When I'm watching my footy team and the ref makes a bad error, we all sing: "You don't know what you're doing"

    We could sing it constantly outside Downing Street.

      Actually you are not allowed to demonstrate closer than Trafalgar square. Since we have a really stupid electorate who lets the government get away with civil right crushing.

      Revolution anyone?

        You can still protest in Parliament Square, it seems, judging by the increasing number of loonies there.

            Don't think so. They brought in legislation to stop the guy protesting against the war, but they were then told by the courts that they couldn't move him on, since he was there before the legislation...

            That said, every so often, there are some "temporary loons" that turn up - this week, it's a hunger strike in aid of Gaza, and another one in aid of the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.

            Every so often, there is some bloke shouting about how the freemasons murdered Chief Constable Todd.

              Are you saying, as an individual, I can't stand at the gates of Downing Street and sing 'The PM is a ******', in the good old fashioned chavball way?
