Mr Browne and Mr Darling need to be sacked these people are only out for their gains and not for the people of the this once great land. All they are interested in is to tax the british public to the hilt. Allowing the price of fuel to go up on a daily bases in a word every 24 hours it goes up by 3p a time. Then he & Darling do away the 10p rate of tax to pay for the MP’S pay rise?
NO MATTER WHO GOES IN TO NUMBER 10 THAY WIL DO THE SAME. Britain is as good as dead. Instead of a labour goverment we need a LORD PROTECTOR SOMEONE LIKE CROMWELL COMES TO MIND?

Brown is no more a legitimate leader of Britain than that sub-human freak is in Zimbabwe.

Brown is an enemy of democracy.

In Britain people lament the lack of interest in elections and wonder why no one votes (well 1 in 3 do):

The reason is simple - elections do not matter if a man can grab the position of Prime Minister without a competitive election by either the people or parliament.

The Labour Party is solely responsible for this un-democratic act. They will surely pay a high price.

Brown is the most hated usurper since Prince John several hundred years ago. He is tolerated as Prime Minister as many people enjoy the fun of humiliating a man in power.

However this is doing huge damage to Britain. If we are seen to allow this man to represent us, he makes us all look stupid, weak and impotent.

Tim Cocking appears to live in cloud cuckoo land. The electoral system in this country allows a political party to gain power having received only 27 per cent of the vote. Not democracy, just an early 19th century electoral system. As to Gordon Brown-Bean being a “stolid trusted leader”, this man lurked in the shadow of a charismatic figure for ten years, but even then the public were treated to outbreaks of petulance, sulkiness and ill-temper when he failed to get his way. As to courage, he wasn’t even brave enough to face the electorate when there was a possibility he might win. This man has been over-promoted, and became his Party leader after a squalid little deal with the charismatic, but discredited, Blair. He has done nothing to earn respect and, having become a figure of contempt, derision, ridicule and scorn, it is unlikely he will be able to shake off this reputation. Certainly, he has neither the character nor personality to make any difference and there is no doubt his Party should ditch him sooner than later as he is leading them to electoral catastrophe.

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. In the UK we have the one-eyed, characterless, humourless, personalityless, bad-tempered, gargoyle-like Gordon Brown-Bean. But not for long. This man has been over-promoted. He he was not brave enough to face the electorate when he might lose, so he will have to face us and be routed. Two years will soon slip away, and in the meantime he will remain a figure of derision, scorn and ridicule.

There is not neccesarily anything wrong with gordon brown’s abilities. We must not be so critical, but give him a chance to prove himself. No body can become a solid, trusted leader overnight, these things take time.(more than 10 months anyway) In addition we must remember that none of us could do the job any better, if we could then we would be prime minister!

Sometimes wecan be so unappreciative of our leaders and the responsibilty resting their shoulders.

Why is the news media not investigating the source of the £50billion fund announced by the UK government to help bail out local banks?

Is it linked to this article?
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/BUSINESS/04/ 15/britain.china.ap/index.html

Why is no one reporting this in the UK? Are we that afraid of China’s increasing importance on the world stage that we prefer only to report negative stuff?

If China is helping to stabilise the UK economy, isn’t this newsworthy?

Unelected, unwanted and his departure will be unlamented.
Best that he goes before he gets pushed.

I feel that Gordon Brown is in a position that is above him.
He doesnt have the carisma to bring the public on side, nor does he inspire much faith in his abilities.
If he is representing the party, it looks as though we need to look to a new party for leadership (SOON)
