The Thing about Brown is that, he has run the country, he has the experience, no matter what people will say, about wars etc. We need a man who can run the country, with bottle, and that is not Cameron.

It could be a shocker with Lib Dems coming a very close second, and don't forget the BNP might win a few more seats, than before.
Labour themselves have admitted they will need cuts of a similar scale to Thatcher's. I should say in the occasional moment of honesty that has been said, Brown tends to lie and discuss 0% rises or make promises that front line services won't be affected and he can make guarantees.

There is absolutely no evidence at all that Cameron will follow similar policies to Thatcher and even if he did so what? During that period the economy went from a Labour-induced IMF bailout and general strikes to a surplus. Incase you hadn't noticed Thatcher won 3 general elections 'coming out with all that crap' so evidently some people quite liked the message.

In between your 'helping the rich' diatribe in many ways the gap between rich and poor hasn't been larger in a very long time, and as far as people helping themselves goes have you seen John Prescott / 2 Jags or the mass of 'New' Labour employees troughing themselves on the public purse?

Describing Brown as having bottle is laughable. If he had bottle he'd have had an election to get his own mandate, instead he has clung onto power for as long as is feasible and delayed going to the country.

Experience you have to worry about given Brown's experience. Not sure if that's the kind of experience I'd put on my CV.

Thanks for demonstrating my point that larger expenditure per head certainly doesn't indicate better care by default.

That's actually quite easy to do Damien. If you do away with the micro-management and mountain of statistics demanded by Labour and actually leave the professionals to do their jobs you can dispense with a huge layer of middle management prodnoses.

That represents an enormous instant saving and would actually benefit the front-line workers.
