the damage was done in the BLAIR/BROWN years, quite frankly it will take a miracle to get back to the Britain most of us would like to return to. Oh how the electorate were conned,, all those years of high tax and wasted money.Its a pity it could not be made a criminal offence!

What we need is for all this local election news to scare Labour into getting rid of Brown and getting rid of their current taxation policies. Replacing him with someone like Miliband sounds pretty smart.

Labour is by far the better choice for your average person, but not under the condition the party is in now.

There’s no doubt he is now. I think the best way forward for labour is a new leader, and preferably this time a woman. Someone like Cherie or Harriet would be a good option.

With reference to my earlier comments. On reflection,I feel that the adjective ‘dishonest’ is too harsh and should be replaced by ‘devious’.

I saw Hazel Blears on Question time last night trying to defend Brown. Slightly hysterical and had nothing to say.
She knows very well that Brown and the whole pack of ‘em have gone tits up.

I feel that the thing most people abhor about Mr Brown,were his ’stealth taxes’. These gives the perception of a dishonest individual,without the courage to face the consequence of his actions. It treats the citizen like some sort of idiot,who can ‘have the wool pulled over their eyes’. If closely examined,such as the huge and increasing National Debt,one wonders if he truly deserves the accolade of having been such a wonderful Chancellor? These debts will have to be repaid!

Brown must stay. He is our best hope for a change of government at the next election.

The demise of NuLabour is a logical outcome of their betrayal of the nation. It is not about the 10p. That was merely the manifestation of a deeper anger. NuLabour are on their way into oblivion because they had the arrogance to put everyone else first and our own people last. Where once the Labour Party stood for rights of the working man, and fairness to the less fortunate, they are now just a nasty and corrupt party who persecutes families, plunder the taxpayers, and promote every form of wickedness imaginable. I imagine this NuLabour government will go down in history as the worst government this country ever had; the government that sold our nation down the river.

Is it not time we had some one in number ten who is elected to the post and has a clue what WE the people require from a Government….
The arrogance is all but astounding but then we are taking of politicians
