If I didn't have to live here I'd almost be happy to see Labour get in for another term. That would make absolutely certain that they'd never be electable again in my lifetime.

But I do, so the idea of more NuLabour pc newspeak, lies and financial incompetence is just too much to bear.

Unfortunately there is too much that urgently needs to be unpicked ... not least the awful, awful ID card scheme which many seem to have forgotten about but which we will be stuck with forever if Labour has any sort of influence in the next Government. I'd love to see Labour render itself unelectable for a generation but the need to do away with them now, rather than holding fire for another 5 years, is just too great.

It's true what the heckler is saying though - Gordon only appearing to be seen in public with Labour party activists - giving the impression he is engaging with normal public crowds.

If it's one thing this election campaign has shown, Gordon Brown is the worst campaigner I have ever seen - if not the most unelectable human being on the planet.

Did they use those wonderful anti-terrorism laws again..?

More bad news:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politi...10/8656353.stm

Quote:

The woman at the centre of a media storm after being called
"bigoted" by Gordon Brown has said she will not be voting for Labour or any party....

...."He wanted me to go outside with him and shake his hands for the camera but I said no," she told the newspaper. "I didn't want that fuss."
So the apology wasn't just about Brown being genuinely sorry and the public display of forgiveness was his idea - what a surprise that is... :rolleyes:

Now I think we know why Brown was in there so long. I wonder if she has twist marks on her arms.......

Oh and another embarrassment (albeit relatively minor) on the immigration front:

Former Cabinet minister Hazel Blears has confirmed that an illegal immigrant had been working as a volunteer on her election campaign.
:D

Something to do with Lord of the Treasury?

Dosn't the PM live next door in No 11 as well? No 10 is just the official offices / cabinet rooms?

The PM normally lives in No. 10, & the Chancellor at No. 11.

Blair & Brown swapped, though, as the size of the residence at No. 11 was better suited to Blair's family.
