Getting rid of Gordon Brown will only make a superficial difference as it is the basic underlying policies and philosophy which is wrong.

New Labour is all about image and not substance.

They have modified the old Labour philosophy of "tax and spend" to "borrow, tax and spend", with the result that the UK, like a lot of its citizens, is up to its eyeballs in debt.

As a nation we need to save more and spend less. We also need to increase common sense in government and to massively reduce waste.

We all need to live within our means because when the recession really bites those in debt without savings are going to find things really hard as are the more vulnerable groups like pensioners.

In essence, it is New Labour who must go rather than just Gordon Brown, who is the scapegoat trying to make inappropriate policies work. No wonder he always looks so glum!!
