Post Budget in 2 Weeks!

Clever move by Labour.

Watch some really fantastic positive economic statements and a good vote winning tax position.

The Tories will have to oppose it - and will look very unelectable ... if they agree to it then there will be no change if they get in.

This could close the gap between the parties to zero ... then Brown will announce an early May Election.

Do you really think we have forgotten all the brilliant promises and initiatives over the last 13 years which never came to anything but gently faded into the background?

Les, you are old enough and wise enough to know that any promises made by either party are just empty promises.

The only question is "Do you want an experienced Statesman in charge as we pull out of resession, or a little rich boy?"

If we are all honest, we can see that Brown turned the world around from a disaster which was about to happen ......... to hand the solid base of a strong economy to the rich boys of the Tories would be a disaster!

Or do we want the man who engineered the whole UK depression, and singlehandedly put us in a position so that WE had the worst, the longest and the deepest recession of any western country, do we want him again?

Or the man who told his mates he was going to sell half our gold, then sold it at the lowest possible price?

Or the man who LIED to us about how deep and how long the recession was going to be, AFTER lying to us about whether we would even go INTO recession, THAT man?

Or the man who opened the floodgates to Eastern European immigrants and STILL doesn't know how many asylum seekers are here?

Or the man who recently lied to the Chilcot enquiry? Allegedly.

Oh sorry, they are all the same man, your world statesman, Gordon "Sh*t" Brown

Anyone with more than one brain cell knows that is bollox .... happily, as the polls show, many more people take my opinion of Brown as a strong statesman of the highest quality.

Unlike little rich boy Cameron ......... heaven help us if that 'wet behind the ears kiddie took over!!'

Happily, anyone with EVEN ONE brain cell knows that Pete talks bollox.

His "chum" Tony B. Liar was educated at Fettes College, ffs, forget Eton, Fettes is POSH
And Bliar lived up to HIS name, the BiggestLiar we have ever had as PM.

Vote Lying Labour, get lied to about things that REALLY matter. OUR boys can go to die in an illegal war too.

Well at least you admit to NL's empty promises. Do you think that is any kind of an advertisement for them, do you accept that we should be lied to at every turn?

As far as your hero is concerned, lets start with the destruction of a strong economy which was what the Conservatives left him. He squandered it all away on rubbish items at just about every turn. He has generated an immense and wasteful bureaucracy which achieves nothing worthwhile to the country, but only to NL as bought votes! He hands out our cash at the drop of a hat to other countries and to immigrants in preference to the people of this country in order to buy popularism.

His FSA did nothing to regulate our financial affairs, his kowtowing to the City allowed them to make vast sums of money personally with the commission on toxic loans until it all fell apart. By that time we had no more cash left, and only half our gold reserves after he flogged the rest off, and our position with regard to the recession was dire to say the least!

His remedy has been to print and borrow money as hard as he can go in order to finance his gross government spending in order to win the election. They are crossing their fingers in the hope they can last it out! This means that we and our grandchildren will be paying that borrowing off for many years to come. If he does get re-elected its bye bye United Kingdom. We should not have any false expectation for the immediate future, whichever government gets elected our taxes will get heavier. At least with the Conservatives they will cut the wasteful and unecessary squandering of our resources, such as they are. Your hero will spend us into full bankruptcy. The borrowing and printing just makes things look better until it all runs out and the IMF tells him to get lost as they did to Callaghan. How can you possible say he is a man who has any ability at all to run the economy?

He has sucked up to the Eu by breaking his government's promise over the referendum on the Lisbon con job. The future unless we can stop it somehow is to become federated with the Eu which will mean fat sinecure jobs for them of course while we will then be part of a totalitarian leadership under police control and any vestige of democracy will be long gone. Our movements around our own country will be strictly controlled and the gauleiters will be checking our identities purely on a whim. What else can you expect from unelected leaders?

Is this what you want Pete, do you really want to see the end of our country? Do you honestly think we would be better off?

If you cannot answer the above, I can only assume that you are unable to justify your hero as our saviour.
