You have to feel sorry for Gordon Brown.

Godawful Gordo has been living beyond his means since he dumped Prudence for her flash sister Profligacy. Big problem is that he has not spent wisely or well and now that the global economy has taken a beating, he's up the creek in a leaky boat with no paddle. His other problem is that he's such an appalling character that beyond a very few cronies whose future is tied to him and are going to end up flipping burgers when he sinks, there's nobody to help him out of the clag. To be blunt most of his own party wouldn't pee on him if he caught fire.

gordon ...not flash ..please flush

feels like we're running full tilt into a real economic disaster worse than the 70's , there is no way real inflation is running at 2.5% , when fuel , power, public transport ,and staple foods are in double figure rises , and house prices are in freefall , , they should not include consumer electronics as these are being margin squeezed because retailers are sitting on loads that need to be shifted (overstocked due to the bombing of the house prices)they are being used to skew the figures .....

Its political denial ...... doesn't matter who gets in after tha'broon has burnt the books and shredded the evidence (why he needs another two years )... I think we are stuffed ..... regardless of who gets in .... the damage has already been done

Ive got vague memories of the power cuts , overflowing bins and queueing with my dad at the pumps for petrol back in the 70's , this will be worse this Christmas , methinks , particularly if its a cold one ...

I'm now saving hard ..for a lot of future rainy days ....

Very sobering reading. You may well recall that frequently in the past, some members pilloried me and one or two others for our opinions of B'liar. I think we are now well and truly vindicated. He was a little Hitler of the worst kind, with the largest ego of any politician before him. El Gordo and his hoppo's sure have inherited the biggest mess of any of any political bunch before them. He must of course bare responsibility too in great measure.

Another view.

I think it is necessary to take into account who it was that put Cyclops into the position of being able to create the current disaster.

Bearing in mind that they were "friends" for a long time, the judgment shown by St Tony in his initial choice, and continued retention. of his Chancellor of the Exchequer was either extremely defective, making him a totally unsuitable person to be in charge of anything, or there was some other ulterior motive.

Which ever way you view it the main responsibility for the current situation lies with Bliar.

If I appoint the village idiot to do the book keeping for the village hall, and keep him in the job for years, even though the auditors find the books are rubbish, the final outcome must be my responsibility.

It looks as though St Tony very carefully picked his time of departure, so as to be far enough away when the excrement hit the ventilator.

He must have hated Cyclops just as much as Cyclops hated him.

Typical labour financial jiggery pokery, it's a loan as a gifts would be illegal, but we can't pay you back as the people you gave the loan to technically weren't authorised, so even if we have spent it we're not going to pay you back. See you in court suckers.

Got to love the integrity of these guys.

In the first few years, Labour stuck to the Tories (restrictive) spending plans but it didn't take long for 'New' Labour to go back to their 'Old' ways i.e. high tax and spend policies :(

They fooled the electorate 3 times (including me) but now that they haven't put any money away for a 'rainy day', they can't cut taxes at a time when people need tax cuts more than ever to help with the increasing cost of living.

Me too.

I was made redundant around 2 months ago and I have managed my redundancy well by using some of it to pay some of my mortgage off and putting the maximum amount (£3,600) into a tax free cash ISA and I've never really been a saver before :0

I don't want to make the same mistakes that the government have made with their financial handling i.e. a Labour party deeply in the red along with the UK i.e. the national debt!

I'll bet his smile is even broader now :D

Yes as I can't see Blair having any sympathy for Brown as it was Brown that was pressurising Blair to hand over the leadership!

Don't forget that in the last general election, Blair had said that he would serve the full term.

Talking of Blair, I can't believe that Blair has decided to go down the religious 'path' after all the damage he did with taking the country to war in Iraq :angry:

In my mind it was an illegal war and he should have had a referendum on it as it was too big a decision to decide for himself.

I said right from the start that Tony deserted a sinking ship and left Gordon to play Aunty Sally.

Yes Blair timed his 'exit' with perfection :D

I can, he's always had the religious zealots belief in his own RIGHTNESS. But events must be slowly penetrating his Teflon armour telling him just how wrong he was. Now if it's slowly dawning on him just how badly he's screwed up and how many have paid for his mistake's with their lives. Perhaps dedicating himself to God full-time is a last ditch attempt to buy a Get out of hell card.

I wonder if the Pope whispered in his ear that he would "sell him some indulgences" if he sold his soul to the devil? :devil:

That isn't a smile, it's a silly looking stupid grin. On the other hand, El Gordo does a stupid looking grimace, in between sucking his bottom lip. :lol:

Labour cash crisis

Senior officials in the Labour party, including Gordon Brown, could become personally liable for millions of pounds in debt unless new donors can be found within weeks
The party has five weeks to find £7.45m to pay off loans to banks and wealthy donors recruited by Lord Levy, Tony Blair's former chief fundraiser, or become insolvent. A further £6.2m will have to be repaid by Christmas - making £13.65m in all. The sum amounts to two-thirds of the party's annual income from donations
The Co-operative bank, whose £2.61m loan is due to be repaid on June 30, has told the party it wants its money back, even though it is getting 7% interest. The bank has asked the unions to offer loans to Labour so the party can pay its debt, but some are refusing to do this

maybe this is why gordos eye is off the ball , this is personally more damaging to him than anything political ... I wonder what the liabilities would be if the NEC resigned before insolvency was officially declared

Some people have little thought for the future of their children when giving them names.

There used to be a chap in the Settle area who was called Dick Throupe.

For years I thought it was some sort of medical condition.

Has anyone ever actually seen her blearing?

No but I saw her on Question Time a few weeks ago and her smug face was too much to bare :angry:

She was once described as looking "like one of those things that pokes its head over the wall and spits at you."
