Should Brown be giving money away when it is needed here?

[John]

Is this a riddle?

You need to be the cleverest man in the room to know how clever they are.

Gordon has many posh pals. Even Mrs Thatcher was invited round for tea (cue Ivanhoe).

Perhaps he should start wearing a duffle coat...

If it only comes down to experience and nothing else I am sure that you will agree with me that Brown has the experience and Cameron has none.

These were the "two men in the room" that were being alluded to in that letter.

Cameron might be young and attractive and be the one that will look good in the suit but Brown  - as ugly and unattractive as he might be - is the one with the experience and the brainpower.

It is sad that he has been both caught up in this global crash - and wrongly taken the blame for it - and has made a few unfortunate mistakes in his attempt to be "New-labour", but all that aside he has more brains and integrity in his little finger than Cameron has in his whole body.

[John]

Brown has really shown the level of his brain power and experience.

Look at his pathetic record. The state this Country is in at all levels.

He was in charge of the UK part of the global crash - this was rooted
here because he was asleep (resting his massive brain no doubt).

He stood by while spin and lies were used to take us into endless conflict.

He does not have the bottle to end this, for the UK to show it has
independence of the US.

This Country (UK) has leadership that his crisis driven.

How clever is that?

This must stop.

And I say AGAIN that this pastime of blaming Brown for all the ills of the country is getting old and entrenched and it is the closed-minded ones in this argument that are going to get the greatest shock when Brown is out and some other less-fit usurper is put in his place.

There is no doubt that Brown has become a hate-figure for some and once he is no longer available for chucking brick-bats at the people who do the chucking will just have to find a new target.

I wonder who that might be ?

So who should the public hold responsible for
running the Country into the ground?

Spending money on rubbish should as advertisements
telling us to do 5 miles less a week in your car.
People would love to do that anyway.

Spending money on quangos that produce little or
more importantly change little. Giving the thumbs up
to price rises as requested.

Labour have no clear vision and if they had any, they
have had many years to put it into place.

They had their chance and have failed miserably.

A Little bit below the belt that one John, Ha HA
Remember the word for 2010 is compassion.
I have not heard any more about Rail cards from my local MP yet, perhaps they are wasting time in Parliament, having a debate on the subject, and if any Brownie points can be scored.
Mind you they could all be out in the streets helping old people, by shifting the snow of there footpaths.

I was referring to your comments of the Ninth, at the top of page two.
I had a bad night's sleep and I feel as if I am standing on my head at times.My wife has seven dogs so you can imagine why t5hat should be so.
My wife is six foot tall and eighteen stone and I have to do as I am told. wouldn't you?.

[John]

Thanks for the Update yorkie

Papaumau - I remember who made the comment about 'two men in room'.

Dr WHO

Must have been the affects of time travel...

I know it is difficult for anyone to see the full picture over more years than 12 and it is this kind of short-termistic blame-chucking as a well-established British pastime that is showing here, but I think that before we indulge ourselves in such practices we really have to remember that the state of the nation is not generated or maintained over such a short period.

Yes, Blair, Brown and New-Labour could have done better but I think that this malaise goes much further back than just a few terms of office of the Labourites.

Do NOT look for any saving graces from the tail-wagging Tories as they have already proved that they only care for their own kind and they do not have the capability to fix anything that they might find wrong.
