BBC News now running clips of Brown once again trotting out his Statist nonsense about tax cuts 'taking £6 billion out of the economy'....

Nah, he's going to set up one of those, "recycle your old gold" companies as he's got such a good history at trading in gold!

Bristol City Council agrees with you.

Labour's new media 'tsar' has been reported to the police for an alleged breach of electoral rules after tweeting about postal votes.
Bristol East Labour candidate Kerry McCarthy was reported to police by Bristol City Council.
The alleged breach is over failure to keep postal votes secret. Avon and Somerset Police are investigating.

No, Gordon, the private sector creates jobs. It's your job to create an environment where the private sector can do well and to supply essential municipal services.

Spin room is a massive waste of time:

Tory : Well, I think Cameron won!
Lib Dem: Well, It's obvious Clegg won!
Labour: It doesn't matter who won, it's about how you play the game opps I mean substance.
