Sound familiar at all?



He hasn't quite managed to emulate Bliar's catchy soundbites but it's pathetic drivel just the same! Brown, the man who keeps trying to wear Bliar's suit but finds that somehow it just doesn't fit.....

Note, he conveniently forgot about the bit about who got us on the road to recession, recession, recession in the first place but that's a mere detail of course.....

Anyway, I notice there's all the usual promises to make our lives better, crack down on anti-social behaviour etc.. etc.. Evidently Brown still believes that after 13 years of ABJECT failure there are enough gullible idiots out there to keep him in the manner to which he and his cohorts have become accustomed.

this is a good reason to vote for von braun [although this ones no rocket scientist]

Bit like the re-nationalising of railtrack, that only harmed stock holders, not the workers... oh wait...

A question. Who was it who, in 1992, said that:

"A weak currency is the sign of a weak economy, which is the sign of a weak government."

Answers on a postcard to No 10 Downing Street......

Just been listening to Blair banging on about how well New Labour have done (well he's done very nicely out of it so I guess he would be positive).

Apparently Gordon Brown's glad of the support of his former boss, probably because of the influence he still wields with some sections of the electorate. Given his recent outbursts regarding Lord Ashcroft, I wonder if Brown's at all concerned about where Blair pays his tax or does the question of influence and tax status only matter when it applies to political opponents?

The questions about this are not new but as yet we don't seem to have any categoric answer from the man himself who really ought to know the truth after all...

Gordon says "Ooops!"

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been forced to admit he misused immigration figures after being criticised by the statistics watchdog.
In a podcast on Friday, Mr Brown said net migration into the UK fell from 237,000 in 2007 to 163,000 in 2008 and provisionally 147,000 in 2009.

But the head of UK Statistics Authority agreed with a Tory complaint that he had made inaccurate comparisons.

Downing Street said it accepted the statistics had been "unclear".

"unclear"? Must remember that one.......

I have never voted in my life, politics ain`t my thing, but for the coming election i may just go out and vote Liberal.
Don`t ask me why because i don`t know, all i do know is i dislike Labour and Conservative

At the moment it seems everything is stealth, spin, stealth, spin!

Mr Blair’s eyes started from his head with mock delight as he recognised, or pretended to recognise, former comrades. The former Prime Minister’s tan is that indeterminate shade of orange which suggests too much time spent in international airports, while his face has become so lean it has started to collapse inwards upon itself.
