I could have written that myself. His incompetence knows no bounds and unfortunately he has made us all a lot poorer. -

Oh God!
I'm almost (almost) beginning to feel sorry for him.
He is so inept. So awkard. So crap at everything. Wrecks everything he touches.
He's the boy you never chose when picking sides for football.
He's the boy who could never assemble his Airfix Lancaster Bomber kit.
He's the boy you didn't want tagging along with the gang when you were going to your secret den in the woods.
Poor old Gordon.
I'd quite like him if he wasn't such an arrogant, pig headed megalomaniac.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Sounds like a Herculean task to me.
Poor woman.

Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostThat was exactly my reaction when I drew up a similar list a little while ago. Funny at first, then realisation that many of his changes are so deeply embedded, and have done so much damage, that we'll be stuck with the effects for decades.

The really sad thing is that people have continued to vote for this destructive party despite widespread information available on the damage to pensions, economic health etc over the years. It just shows that democracy does not work in creating prosperity whenever Labour get voted in.
IMO there should be some sort of aptitude test before an election to determine whether a person is fit to vote.... perhaps five simple questions on a voting slip that even an imbecile can answer... if they fail then the vote is void.
Labour voters certainly have no right to complain about banks, pensions, immigration, wasteful public spending and the debt situation. They voted for it !!Comment
