Wouldn't you think he would give it up as a bad job. He must be the most hated man in the Country and have skin as thick as Rhino hide.

I heard Nick Robinson say that every geek with half a brain will have this up on the web within hours.

Guess he was right.

What a **** up!

Anyone else would have laughed it off, but not loser Brown

You gotta laugh at all the gimps who thought, and still think that new labia are the bees knees

It may transpire, when the world comes out of this crisis, that Mr Brown did actually put the right policies and actions in place to save the democratic world ....... only the history books of the next decade will tell us.

Certainly, the world seems to be following his lead.

UB last night you accused Sunnysideup / Pete of trolling for posting up a thread about an early election.

All YOU do is troll, all you do is post up rants and raves and schoolboy 'play on words' that you think are clever.

To the best of my knowledge you have not once...ever posted up a single constructive post....and yet you accuse others of trolling

So come we all know what you dont friggin well like, let's all hear what you do like, what your answers are to the challenges we face


I'm all ears.....

The German finance minister isn't exactly impressed.....

BBC NEWS | Business | German ridicule for UK policies

"Mr Steinbruck said the UK's switch from financial prudence to heavy borrowing was both "crass" and "breathtaking"."

Could not have put it better myself.

Says the German finance minister - speaking from a country who look like suffering the worst depression since the war, yet the UK is set to avoid the very worst ...... hmmmmm, I think I will take my chances with someone who has been running a world powers economy for over a decade, thanks all the same

Avoid the worst? What bollocks.

Gordon Brown is such an arrogantly smug buffoon that he makes Tony Blair look like a fine statesman..... I didnt particularly dislike TB, although I had no time for his government, but it is difficult not to despise this man....

Much as it pains me, Pete is probably right. Only time will tell what the right policy was to tackle the current issues the country faces. It may transpire that Brown has done the right thing yet it may not.

There's smugness and there's self belief, as chancellor he ran this countrys finances rather well actually, funny how people weren't complaining about the economy a year ago, people were able to have a lot of finacial freedom over last few years wich is surly a good thing, or maybe not going by what people did with it.
We all have such short memories, 3 mill plus unemployment, schools falling apart and hospital closures amongst other things, including our wonderful rail network that we still pay taxes towards whilst people running them make money, that my friends, is what you get with the alternative....scary aint it.

I by no means agree with everything this government has done, but we haven't done bad up to now.
It is funny, but the response of the opposition to a slip of words was so childish its frightening, especially as they are the only other choice for government.

People that take the **** and jibe prime ministers from both parties, should really think what it would be like to have a job that is 24-7, dealing with world poverty one minuet to our countrys interests the next, then coming home and dealing with an economy of over 60 million people who want everything their way.

Having a laugh is fair enough but if you are going to attack a prime minister you really should give alternatives, quoting a German of all people what does he know about our economy? and besides they aint doing too well ether.

He didnt run the country very well at all: that was all part of his 'steady hand on the wheel' spin. Isnt this the clown who sold off our gold reserve against all advice when the market was at an all time low?

Nobody forced him into the job so don't expect me ever to feel one iota of sympathy for him. You want the responsibility? Expect the grief that goes with it.


Oh, and they are closing our hospital to build houses. Nothing new there then?

He sold of half of it in order to clear borrowing. And against who's advice exactly?

During thier time in power, labour has paid back £41billion
In thier entire time in office the Tories paid back £17billion.

This, despite the fact that as a percentage of GDP, we are STILL borrowing less than we did in the late 80's.

Still never let the facts get in the way of spouting the Daily Mail line.

People jump on the bandwagon about politics without knowing what on earth they are talking about, they just go from whats in the paper.

Its the Tories that are coming out looking like clowns. Cameron and Osbourne have moanaged to let a double digit poll lead slip to virtually nothing. Not only that, they have managed to do it as the country slides into recession. Thats ballsing things up on quite an impressive scale.

What doesnt help them is the fact that they are standing alone in the western world as thinking it best to do nothing to comabt the recession. Well, other than the Germans obviously. Who are now, thanks to inaction, headed into the worst recession in thier history.
