Gordon Brown...

[Churchill]

...will never be Prime Minister!

That is my prediction.

Discuss, hurl abuse at Chico &| Francko, whatever...

[DimPrawn]

Here's ******* hoping!

[Bovvered]

Agreed. Brown's tax antics, the slow eroding of Blair's popularity, the stagnation of 'New' Labour, the rise of a new pretender. It's a foregone conclusion.

[Xerxes]

He hasn't got that ruthless streak it takes to be a Prime Minister anyway. He could have finished Blair at the height of the Iraq crisis and has had opportunities before and since. At the critical moment he's always backed down.

Are we sure that we want our politicians to have a ruthless streak? OK if they're going to be emperor of Persia, but not here and now.

I think so, certainly when it comes to protracted negotiations with, say, the EU. Politicians who will shy away from the tough decisions aren't much use in situations like that.

pensioners

I can't believe there are no massive headlines about Clown's increase of 2.20 for pensioners. At least it's better than the 75p of a few years ago.
Considering how much council tax will go up by, I expect many pensioners to be in jail next year.

Strange how Brownstaff will find the money for the MP's 22 percent pay rise.

[PRC1964]

Aaaaw but he would look so good inside Number 10.

[Numptycorner]

If he does make it to number 10, Cameron will be the next Prime minister

A political masterstroke.

The pensionsers will be jailed due their inablity to pay rising fuel and coucnil tax bills, they willl be put to state slave labour servicing EDS government contracts.

This solves the pension crises at a stroke.

Raised the price of diesel Oil, heads computerised and yellow zizag lines of warning.
