Gordon Brown

[Simon Pieman]

Tories and Labour are much of a muchness.

NHS is mismanaged and underfunded. Doing it either way will not help. You need not extremes, but a decent mixture of both philosophies.

[suttonred]

people always moan but in most cases we have never had it so good.jobs are plentifull and people generally have more money in their pockets.

I dont, I found a hole in mine today and all my change had fallen out, I blame Brown, insisting on cheap foriegn cotton imports, the bastard

[THE FLASH]

I hate politicians who milk a policy because its good for the environment ......whilst investing in Nuclear missle programmes......

[Colin Todd]

  OK then my Tory friend explain to me how it is possible to spend money in a "sustainable" way?

Not spending considerably more than you are recieving over a long period thus pushing the counrty to record debt levels just in time for a worldwide recession?

And I'm not a tory as such, although I do plan to vote for them at the next election. I'm more anti nu-labour than pro anyone. They're fucking useless.

you're posh you are - go on say "naff orf"

[Fred Elliot]

yah !

Brown is a legend in europe at the moment

[Colin Todd]

Thats what is pissing me off the most.  I do actually agree with what he has done by and large during the current finacial crisis but how the fuck do you take credit for trying to fix something that you helped create in the 1st place?

Given the US have fallen into line with the same bank rescue plan as we have over here, buying shares in the banks instead of their original plan of buying out the toxic assets, seems the whole world is following his lead.

We've got a guy over from the US for a couple of weeks at work at the moment. He'd been saying the US could never follow our lead in taking a govt stake in the banks as that would be nationalisation (which it isn't btw but that's a separate argument) "and that's just socialism". So after the news broke yesterday, I asked him when he was heading back to the People's Republic of America. He went a very funny colour

As red as his neck ?

[Colin Todd]

Isnt buying shares in the banks just a really obvious thing to do?

As it:

A. Give the banks a capital injection
B. Give the government either control or big influence over the banks operations
C. Allows the government to take dividends from future profits
D. Allows the governments to sell the shares when things have recovered

I could have told them that months ago

Vote Todd.

 The words considerably and long period, are understandably vague. The words country and receive are just misspelt.
