Labour’s Tragic Spin for Tonight’s TV Debate
Labour have just sent out this poster (except it isn’t a poster, it is a amateurish crap graphic). According to Labour HQ tonight is going to be about Style versus Substance :
Guido has altered it for accuracy : Gordon versus the Voters…
UPDATE : Just checked the latest prices at specialist political bookmakers Smarkets:
- Gordon Brown has a 25% chance of winning
- David Cameron 52% chance
- Nick Clegg is favourite with a 55% chance.
Take Guido’s advice and bet against Gordon Brown…
FFS
They just need to keep asking, “Who put the country into such debt”
“Who gave away our Gold reserves”
“Who has sold the country for their own glory”
Substance vs Style…
…but the substance is shit.
I am a repentant sinner.
repellent sinner, more like…
OK Gordon, repent before it’s too late:

Repellent Spinner?
it’s all Sue’s fault
Guido, you need to learn the difference in odds and percentages of chance. Bookies create an overround to give themselves a profit, but odds don’t equate to percentage of chance. Adding your figures up of 55%, 52% & 25% give a total of 127%, which is impossible.
And me Gorgon!
Surprised SKY doesn’t complain – obviously ripping ‘em off, and tarnishes their image.
After all, what insane broadcaster would support Brown and NuLab?
it smells like shit, it looks like shit and it’s brown. surely, it’s just shit
On the other hand if it is shite it could be Maguire, who is still trying to spread it on Twitter, as follows:
Latest whisper on Mrs Duffy is solo 80k deal with Mail on Sunday. Snout says she’s tempted and may have signed deal

In this final debate Cameron has to nail the first lie Brown utters and do it hard. If not he will think he has an open pass to say what he likes and carry on. Go for the jugular, make his head spin and see how he flails after being exposed for the ignorant, arrogant, lying, treachorous waste of flesh that he is.
Even if Brown is still in Downing Street on May 7th, don’t expect him to be there long. Hung Parliament or not, the knives have been super-sharpened this time. Liebore are ready to stand down their most useful idiot and put a new model in place.
And if Liebore still have a grasp on power, be ready for a surge in companies being closed as even more swingeing tax increases are introduced and the people treated as slaves to this corrupt, malevolent governing machine.
Go for the juglular, who call me Dave, Mr Nice guy kinda like his hero Tone’s?
If you want a proper gutting, get Farage or Griffin in the ring, Brown would be crying for his Mam and sucking his thumb for the rest of his miserable life.
Lets just hope thats exactly what DC does Animal, its long overdue. Its not as if DC has anything to lose.
” The problem with socailism is they always run out of other peoples money”
Thats all dave should say
Like others here I am coming round to the idea that a GE win for Dave would be disastrous in the short term for any sort of sound government. Much better to let a LibLab stitchup confront the horrendous mess that Brown has made of the economy. Let the left take the blame — after all, they’re responsible. Then after the riots (or, since this is Britain, the mild fits of pique) have precipitated another election in 6-12 months’ time, there will be a landslide for the right, who by then with luck will have ditched Cameron and found themselves a leader with some balls.
Not holding my breath though.
ye can smell it afore ye see it – reeks of hypocrisy.
Has the look of substane abuse
Who has built up a deficit the equivalent of a Black Wednesday EVERY WEEK?
Good let’s hope he goes for substance – the only substance he has on the econmoy is the same colour as his surname. Come on Gordy air your shi*e for all us to laugh at! Games up fella, get your coat.
Ah, substance.
Brown: Crooked Shite.
Cameron: Big Green Society Shite.
Clegg: EU Shite.
Perhaps they should stick to style?
Brown: None whatsoever.
Cameron: Fuzzy green socialist-lite.
Clegg: Empty suit, empty head.
Spoiled for choice we are not.
My husband talks to strange women.
My wife talks to strange men.
So does mine Sarah – thank God – it saves me from listening to his shite all day long!
The last act of the last Liberal Prime Minister (albeit i/c a “National” Government) was to commission Geddes Axes. Will something similar be Prime Minister Clegg’s first act – with Home Secretary Alan Johnstone using a mix of Sky and Google to bug dissenters rather more cheaply than GCHQ – and without all the tiresome governance structures of the latter- thus meeting the LibDem election pledge to scrap the interception modernisation programmes.
The introduction of a list based PR will them be used to keep the LIb-Lab “national government” in power for ever.
Watching Labour implode has almost been worth the 13 year wait. Unfortunately we have ended up with a monolithic state with half the population employed by the other half to sit around and wait for their pension, all the while fining and taxing and meddling.
Bizarre – someone watches a camera as I drive around and sends me a notice demanding £60 if I transgress by so much a millimetere. Presumably most of the £60 goes to pay his/her salary and the relevant admin. And to whose benefit? Me – no. Other road users – no. Him/her – yes. HMRC – yes. As I said – bizarre.
Just watching Kay on Sky interviewing some first time voters a couple who though Gillian Duffy was a Bigot as saying Eastern Europeans flocking to etc was a Bigoted statement. Jeez with the likes of them going to University we are in a heap of do do. With brains like that its no wonder we have an employment problem when it comes to graduates. One thing they do not a degree in is common sense and thinking for themselves. I do despair.
So pleased to see you have somewhere to post your feeling since you were released into the community.
It’s all Sue’s fault tho
Gordon Vs Voters?
Sounds like a challenge to a fight.
The Bigoted society
No time for a racist
Take a second look at Labour..
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour?
My Old Man’s a Boom and Bustman
Now going viral
So what Substance(s) is Gordon taking?
Glue.
Insulin, very chaotically.
25% + 52% + 55% = 132%
Where did I do wrong, I missed the New Labour schooling in mathematics.
Thats a betting spread.
super, smashing, great
but you get nothing for 2 in a bed
Glad to see the others have spotted the smarks spreads often add up to well over 150% and in some cases 200% or more (from last week if I recall).
It is called the over-round. That is normal. If the offers add up to less than 100 you buys all the runners, if the bids add up to more than 100 you sell all the runners. This is basic principles. It is why bookers prefer complicated fractions so you can’t see it easily. In percentages it is obvious.
Guido, your detailed knowledge of such matters is a sign of a misspent youth.
Sounds like a lack of sellers on smarkets then, unless *unworthy thought* its the house edge.
Gossipy Lawyer
I really do wish “C men” had spent more time in the bookies when he was young instead of worshipping strong black men and making sure “Dave the Rave” had a social life.
Back in the real world, tonight Dave the Rave must start to answer what he would do over and above a bit shroud waving over the deficit and pushing the right wing mentalist dog boiling establishment economic agenda.
Tonight, expect the unexpected.
Cleggy — He just wants to be on the big stage.
Dave the Rave — I think he will be in full “Hugging Henry” mode.
GB — Attack mode, straight in no messin’.
When it comes to the real world it will be no contest.
Euro — Germany vs Greece
Cleggy — He just wants to save the wife’s inheritance.
Dave the Rave — He just wants to save his holiday home.
GB — The man to sort it out, he has previous with getting awkward 60+ year old burds with an agenda to agree with him.
Cleggy / Dave the Rave vs Mrs Merkel, it would be like the Graduate but with bigger tits.
Listening to it again Gordon shows a predjudice against the Old, Women, and Those fed up with immigration (and those who disagree with him)
Oh dear that sounds as if Gordon is the real bigot.
Bigot;
A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own.
Person extremely intolerant of others and irrespective of reasoning.
Yep, sopund like Gordon alright.
Did the mong forget to put his left eye in for that poster
A fairly succinct response !
What winds me up, is the sheer breathtaking dishonesty of it . If they said, ‘look, we know we couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery, but at least we’re kind to fluffy bunnies.” That would be reasonably factual. But to present a bloke who took ten years to write a history of the scottish labour party, as having substance, defies rational belief.
Can anybody name the party that was found guilty of breaking the 1972 Race Relations Act by replacing a candidate of Indian heritage from an election because they thought they would not win the election with an person of Indian origin in a mainly white constituency?
It was of course the Labour party.
Bigots.
Not even a complete history of the Scottish Labour Party.
More like the story behind a couple of streets and a few red leaflet touts in Glasgow.

Substance? Substantial disaster more like.
did Guido mark the betting shop board when he was a yoof
First job in the City was as a ticket clerk in a futures brokers – which is like being a board boy in a bookies.
Kerry McCarthy anouncing postal vote results so far via her Twitter feed according to posters on PB. Illegal surely?
I’ve got my beady eye on you.
Just the one
What Brown should have said when Mrs Duffy complained about all the Eastern Europeans flocking here:
- instead of condescendingly telling her a million Brits now work/live in other European countries, which is completely irrelevant to Mrs Duffy, he should have apologised for his Government’s massive mistake in not having the same transitional arrangements for the accession countries as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland and every other EU country, with the exception of the UK and Ireland!
she didn’t complain about eastern europeans flocking here.
I am pretty sure she did – I have listened to her exchange with Brown again – she mentioned immigration, then Eastern Europeans and “where are they all flocking from?”.
Well it should have been obvious that with these other nations imposing transitional arrangements for Eastern Europe that those excluded from the richest countries would all, collectively be funnelled into the richest country that did NOT have such arrangements, (eg us) so even IF the home office had expected 14,000 people to come here, then it would appear obvious that the true figure would have been much much higher, because these people had nowhere better to go.
It was not only sheer incompetence though, because we now know that labour did it on purpose to “rub our noses in multiculturalism”
They are a bunch of anti-British bigots!
bigot!
Shut it you pillock. P45 for you next Friday sunshine.
Enjoy your last week.
I am amazed. The substance he’s taking must be having a very good effect on him.
It’s da good shieeet mon!
‘is ‘iding place superior, good ting me ‘ide me ganje!
White people are not funny
And they cannot jump.
Oh yeah!
Prepare for an hour and a half of serious abuse of the facts this evening – as the compulsive liar with no truth in his soul tries to convince the gullible that his injection of £300 billion of imaginary money into the economy was anything other than a confidence trick on the electorate.
It all starts with a little lie, and that feels so good that before you know it you are flooding the country with immigrants, selling off the gold reserves at bargain basement prices and creating a credit fuelled boom simply to have enough tax income to continue to lie to the people and divert their attention from the upcoming economic Armageddon. Pretty soon you’re mainlining untruth, until honesty and decency become anathema to you and you are a true Liebour Party leader.
Truth abuse – it’s what Liebour do best.
Since GB has neither Style nor Substance it should make for interesting viewing.
What kind of substance are Liebore on?.
I’m betting angeldust.
So *that’s* what happened to all the mephedrone they confiscated…
No wonder they wanted it banned before the election.
I’m not too well up on drugs, recreational chemicals, highs – all that stuff.
Are these ‘E’s they keep talking about code for ‘Expenses’?
AREYOUONONEMATEY!!! (tappity-tap) (chew) (gurn) (cuttle)
PC rebooted? Check.
Router reset? Check.
Popcorn in microwave? Check.
LET THE BLOODSHED COMMENCE!
You forgot to put the Wine in the cooler!
And the strapons to throw into the ring.
2 bottles of Chilean Merlot = check
half ounce of ‘Jack Herer’ = check
Remote control padded with foam = check
TV behind protective screen = check
I didn’t watch the last 2 debates for fear of my toes being pushed through the tips of my quite lovely trainers because of the cringe factor.
I aint missing this one!
If you took some LSD beforehand, would you be able to tell if you were tripping or not?
We know what his substance is : shallow – he thinks we are all bigots.
calling Mrs D a bigot – hypocript
Blaming it on the mike being on – pathetic
Blaming it on Sue – disloyal
Misunderstanding what Ms D said – bollocks and lily livered (if he thought she said something wrong he should have said so)
he said it but didn’t mean it – liar.
true colours shown once again.
PS – Cameron camp PLEASE remind the public tonight about Unite and their trying to ruin BA – economy and jobs, funding labour and a mansion in Esher.
Cameron won’t do anything about Unite, he’s a signatory to their thug wing, the UAF. http://www.uaf.org.uk/aboutUAF.asp?choice=4
I am very uncomfortable with any politician that gets involved with political boot boys.
Even Griffin has stopped doing it!
What makes it especially bizarre for Cameron is that the UAF are as hard-left as you can get.
They have caused more than enough violence and thuggery for him to withdraw his support, even under the clunking fist of Political Correctness.
What is a hypocript?
it’s the latest typeface from google
It’s a giant underground car park for corpses.
It’s an otherwise-abled member of the pachyderms
Where you bury Hippo’s.
The lady’s not for gurning.
You are forgiven Gillian. Jill. Gail.
Bugger off Sue.
You could, of course, sue Sue.
that’s ridiculous! I should never be put in that position
pardon?
Fucking true though – Cameron is just a slippery car salesman – where’s the original thought? Where’s evidence of any thought?
Still, who the fuck would want to be PM for the next five years – it’s going to be fucking horrendous.
I would.
I would pass legislation allowing the Government to issue debt free currency and use it to pay off ALL the national debt, I would scrap the Bank of England, Arrest all the former (still living) Labour and tory ministers going back to 1973 and try them all for treason for giving away our Sovereignty in clear breach of the treason act.
I would have a flat rate of tax, make government a lot smaller and reduce it’s responsibilities to free universal health care, free universal education, free universal social care, policing, the military, transport and providing free energy and a basic healthy free diet.
I would allow people to de-list their FAMILY home (provided it is worth less than 1 million pounds) as a financial asset so that it can never be taken from them. A family home is a home, not a bargaining chip. For this allowance, I would stop them from selling it (for up to five years after de-listing it) or taking out loans against it. There will be NO financial benefit or liability from your home if you wish it. You would have the peace of mind of being able to pass it on to your children and they MUST keep it de-listed for at least 10 years also.
I would establish full diplomatic relations with all nations and be a friend and trading partner with all, but have entangling arrangements with none.
We would pull out of the EU
Businesses would be free from the enormous amount of red-tape and regulation that currently holds them back. They would be free to fire usless and lazy people for being useless and lazy.
The amount of crimes and statutes on the statute book would be massively reduced and a there would be a lot of stuff returned to common law jurisdiction where a crime is defined as anything that caused injury, harm or loss.
If you do ANYTHING that results in nobody having suffered an injury, harm or loss, then no crime has been committed. If you smoke a joint, WHO IS THE INJURED PARTY? It should NOT be a crime.
If you drive at 32 in a 30 zone, WHO IS THE INJURED PARTY?
If your negligence when “driving” causes an accident, you lose your licence and/or go to jail depending on the seriousness of the accident.
If you commit a crime, then the state will throw the fucking book at you! You will NOT have normal human rights. You will ONLY have the right to food, water, shelter and the right NOT to be tortured. Prison will be harsh and used as a deterrent. sentences will last as long as they are given at sentencing. 10 years means 10 years, not a day less.
Any MP found guilty of corruption will be shot.
hear ye hear ye
That is 645 bullets, Mr Ned. Unless someone misses.
Does that include Farage, and his 2 million quid?
Can I have a ‘Vote Ned’ poster for my window?
and free rainbows with unicorns for all.
You’re politics is WORSE than Labour.
your
This is far too much like common sense. Arrest this man immediately!
Seriously, you’d get my vote.
What kind of slimey brown 2 faced substance is he?
Or is he meant to be the style? wankstyle?
One good thing that has come out of yesterdays gaffe by Brown is the attitute of the Labour party bigwigs, Mandelson speaking softly and sweetly to the press, Yvette Cooper all sweetness and light, Harman all is forgiven, where is Ed Balls I want to see him speak good of his leader.
I am blessed in my friends.
Is that mic off?
Sneaky toads.
Even Paxo and Woolarse had a love in on Newsnight last night.
How does Morley look now to Balls. Decidedly shaky I wopuld think. I did not think a Portillo moment was possible but on second thoughts!
How fitting that Gordon on the day he was promoting the surveillance society, Gordon was caught out by electronic surveillance.
CCTV is so good. I can see the childlike posty talking on his phone, to his mates, as he posts my important letters through the wrong door. It seems the product of Browns wonderful education system can not count past 3!
And the binman who spits down our house wall as he collects the bin.
And next door’s dog doing it on our bush.
Then we have the neighbour from hell reversing his trailer over our garden.
Or the neighbours builders fighting on our front lawn.
Much better than any TV election coverage! You can watch but there is nothing that can be done about it. Just like an election!
You are the Queen and I claim my 1.4 trillion quid
It’s 1.5 now, but what’s 100 Billion between friends?
Can we put a wire on Clegg? He loathes Britain and Clapham Omnibus man more than Brown. As soon as he gets back into his windmill powered hybrid Lexus switch it on – job done.
Easier to get Cameron, when he’s on his bike panting and muttering under his breath “it’s my turn, I’m to good for the oiks buts it my turn, daddy promised”..
You sad fuck
Edukashun, Edukashun, Edukashun.
“I’m TOO good”.
Gordon Brown will obliterate the wannabes tonight and gain a 10% bounce in the polls before Thursday next. Twenty seat majority’s my bet. Go Gordon Go.
Thanks Mandy. You are doing a splendid job.
A pity it is not for me.
How much of your own money are you prepared to bet on that ?
More like ‘dead in the head’.
Do you have a Betfair account perchance?
Please put your life savings into backing this outcome.
Go Gordon go. Yes. That’s a good piece of advice.
Only don’t go and make another widow cry, there’s a good chap!
“Go Gordon Go”
Thats what we, 90% of the Labour Party and the rest of the country have been telling him for two fucking years.
And on Friday he will.
W.W.
someone wake me when this nightmare is over
The poster should also be changed to say “Live From Rochdale”……..
In the red corner……
P.S. I’m enjoying Gordon’s new “up tempo” style of meeting real voters. Much more entertaining……….
Isn’t the penitent man supposed to kneel?
That’s what Indy. did!
So engrossed was I yesTerday with the intellectual giants microphone Gaff that I havent yet had time to seek out dismal Harriets car crash interview she also gave yesterday. Any links anyone ? Have to say she will have to go some to top the Nolan one at the weekend but I firmly believe the woman has it in her to do so.
This cracked me up on BBC news this morning an unfortunate Brummy voter comes face to face with gordon and has her own “on mic” moment ha ha.
I note Sarah didn’t leave him unattended, shame as he would have been removed immediately!.
Oh god its hyyyymmmmm..
HE won’t go anywhere without HER now.
Well someone has to hold the toddler reins and carry the medication
Hardly teenage screams of delight was it?
Are my nappies in your bag?
It’s like that moment when you step in something Brown and smelly
I think her comments pretty much some up most people’s feelings at present.
Priceless!
From Foot and Mouth (2007) to Foot in Mouth (2010). RIP
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha………
We are heading for Lemming To Splash.
Did She mean Nick Robinson or Sarah?
if Sarah an ‘im it explains a lot
Off to win some more hearts and minds by calling his own erstwhile sympathisers bigoted old women. Gives new meaning to “charm offensive”.
I can see the red balloon man behind Brown, but where’s Elvis in the entourage?
What has happened in Labour HQ, is it being run by a bunch of chimps or something, I am not complaining, I am enjoying myself watching Labour crash and burn, these things didnt happen when TB was leader, is Mandys dark black heart not in this anymore, or is he saving his strength to get Milipede the leadership
Lord M bet the mortgage on Clegg.
45/1 Each way. All he had to do was knock Brown into third and its his golden ticket to Brazilian retirement.
The worst part of what Gordon said was ‘that woman’! How derogatory can you get? He’s a rude borish man. That’s now been proven. He epitomises newlabour.
Thanks for your warm support Yvette. I am a repentant sinner and I am ever so grateful for your warm support.
Now bugger back woman to Blinky Ed , your slimy git of a husband , and cook his parsnips.
Whatever you do, don’t call Rochdale’s former MP Cyril Smith a fat bastard or he’ll sit on your face and then probably eat it.

The fact that Gordon Brown Prime Minster spent longer with this Lady than almost everyone else he has met this year shows just how much of a fuck up he knows he made yesterday. Can I also suggest the reason he took so long was because him and his aides were desperately trying to convince the dear to come outside pose with him for photos and tell the world what a great guy he was and that all was forgiven. They tried and tried and tried. She didnt.
Yep, I agree.
I bet he spent 40 minutes trying to get her to pose on the doorstep and admit he misunderstood rather than insulted her.
Still, only a week to go and we can be rid of this dreadful little man, and all the lefty tw@ts for years.
That is called harassment
It is a CRIMINAL offence
And he went all that way back to her house, so she could apologise in person.
And he did swear in the car.
Has she been seen since the “apology”? Someone had better check up the scene in that little house. Nokias can do a lot of damage.
most likely he spent 30 of the 40 minutes in the bog working out what he was going to say to the press and trying to get the stains from his undies out…scumbag deserves all the shit the country can drop on him on may 6th
I’ve spent the day drilling Gordon and he is know full of substance.
I am a repenta..
Oh Bugger Mandy you told me to say that. And told to meet real people.
I owe you.
” I am a repentant spinner”
was that OK ?
I live in labour land where every Wednesday is black.
Please don’t anyone imagine that NuLab is finished or that, if they are, the Tories are in.
I live in a Tory/Lab marginal with LibDem domination of the council. We went to a local hustings last night where the PPCs for the three main parties did their stuff. The room was packed with people worried about the impending end of the public-sector gravy-train, to which the Lab and LibDem people pandered. The Tory, by far the best man among them, tried to lift the debate to matters of political principle (‘what right does a government have to…?’, ‘can it be moral for a government to …?’ etc – questions of major importance) but was received in stony silence.
Interventions from the audience were Tory-hostile and the chair even allowed some wimmin to fritter time asking about govt action on the sexualisation of media images directed at young girls. An important issue, I agree, but dwarfed (can we still say that?) by the incontestable facts that the country is bust for a generation and the constitution is in crisis. But that doesn’t seem to matter.
The terrifying thing is that this audience are CERTAIN to vote – and certain voters are the only voters that matter. The Tory does not have it in the bag, by any means.
My fear is that, on a national level, tonight’s X-Factor contest, aka Leaders’ Debate, will be won by the most telegenic person to offer superior bread’n'circuses. Thank heaven that can’t be Brown, but it could be Clegg.
I always said, when it comes down to it, it’s a contest between the greedy public and the hard working private sector. The public sector think they are ‘god’s’ gift. They are not.
Hooray, you’re back! Have you been in prison?
I think Tory voters are less likely to go to that sort of thing.
Plus, in my experience, admitting you vote Tory is akin to supporting the BNP these days.
Similar thing in our constituency. V small Lab majority but boundary changes mean it ‘should’ be Tory. At one of the Hustings the Tory PPCC was given a rough time by ‘genuine’ voters. Turned out that one or two of the questioners were members of either Lab or Libdem.
I won’t watch tonight’s Britain’s Got No Talent Contest because it’s all bollocks. Plus it’s on the BBC so it will be so biased it’ll make the Iranian Elections look fair.
I expect there’s more genuine fear in the leftie benefit-loving “community”. They’ve a lot to lose (though they think Nulab will somehow not save the world without pain). The more realistic Tories hopefully will vote in the booths rather than with their tongues, if you see what I mean.
Rent-a-mob tend to be Lefties in what passes for their thinking, and, as I’ve said before, being often “students” or living on benefits, have the time to protest. The poor sods who support them are too busy earning a living to march around or attend meetings.
ruth kelly’s plaything…how right you are and whats worse is the fact that the great unwashed swallow the crap that the Nulabour and now cleggie trot out basically saying anything that will con their way into power for more of the same..nightmare in concertia.
When Gordon said he was Mortified which of these three meanings was he referring to?
mortify
• verb (mortifies, mortified)
1 cause to feel embarrassed or humiliated.
2 subdue (physical urges) by self-denial or discipline.
3 be affected by gangrene or necrosis.
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/mortify?view=uk
The latter I hope
Ronald Reagan was The Gipper.
Gary Glitter was The Leader.
Gay Gordon is The Gaffe-r.
More Gaffer tapes, please!
last
” I am a mortified repentant spinner.”
That better ? F**k it “
He actually says he is penitent Sinner. Nothing about having repented.
Which words did he misunderstand?
Did I hear, on BBC this morning, the girl in the line-up at the Halesworth factory telling Brown (as he patronised her about the wonderful exports of her company) that they succeed ‘in spite of him’?
you did.
He can’t stop talking about immigration. I wonder why?
You certainly did. Shares in Nokia went up at that very moment.
They brought us Elvis, they tried to bring Peppa, and now they claim they’re all about substance.
Postal Votes is what they’re all about!
Substance? I’d thought more of “atmosphere”
“walk away … in silence”
Thank you for your wonderful support.
Levis was wonderful. And, Pappe 2.
Well at least you can vote.
After getting a confirmation I was on the voting register, it now turn out that I can not vote! This country is run by the most dimmest people ever found in humanity. How can they forget to do their job. It is written in law.
No point being here. The powerless people.
As for immigration listen carefully to Brown. Immigration is the movement of people into the EU. He is NOT allowed to talk about immigration within the EU. Go back to the recording, he says it clearly he was unable to comment on eastern Europeans. Even today when asked about immigration, he talked about the points system for external EU people.
Nasty nasty man. There are NO UK borders. UK does not exist, other than as a member state. How else would he, as the leader, not be allowed to talk about the ONE issue.
Brown on Vine show: “.. the view she expressed, that I was worried about, that I couldn’t respond to”
OK what was stopping him?
OMG! OMG! Brown wears suits from Poundstretchers. A tramp on a substance abuse programme. You ain’t going to diggit if your bigot!
Is “substance” a code word for “abuse of widows”?
If not, then this Labour graphic has bugger-all meaning.
That is quite a flattering pic of Dave – he looks a little like Nick Clegg, actually.
Less hair, and thinner lips.
One great thing about the past 24 hours is the number of staunch Labour supporters (here, have your say, the twitterverse and elsewhere) laying into a 65 year old, life long Labour supporting granny.
So much evident self loathing, no wonder you hate the rest of us.
Funny how the man of substance, Gordon can be human, but when a Labour supporting granny from Rochdale say something, you lot agree with Gordon that she’s a bigot.
You could put a red rosette on dogshit and they’d still vote Liebour.
I think dog shit would be more appealing than Brown at the moment, and it would probably do a better job.
W.W.
I thought they had done that already
That hit’s the nail on the head, because most if not all the metropolian, middle class right on Labour tossers, actually despise everything the working class stand for.
W.W.
Brown has no style thats a given and the substance he claims to have is lodged in his arse — shit
he is ugly
he has political tourettes
unelected and electable
Thank you for your wonderful sYpOrt.
Sue is sendin you a siGNd AuYograf.
Radio 5 listener reckoned it would be totally remiss of Cameron this evening not to start to answer the question and then stop after two or three seconds and start banging his mike ‘Is this thing on? Can anybody hear me?’
Hahahahaha.
“The Prime Minister admits that he could have done more..Well..That’s very big {cough} ot-of him.
He has says he has been listening to the concerns on British voters. Maybe his new strategy to spend 40 minutes with everyone in the country is a winner.i doubt it…
We say Brown is wrong. If he disagrees he can Sue Nye, erm,Sue me.

It isn’t the debate that matters, it’s the stupid poll afterwards.
The result of the poll will depend not on the debate, but on which political party is most successful in manipulating the voting.
Both labour and the Liberals have shown themselves totally unprincipled when it comes to winning elections. I would like to believe the Conservatives are above that, but I am not sure I am right.
The poll will be meaningless. Anybody who pays any attention to it whatever is a brainless sheep, and that includes anybody in the media who bows their head and worships at the great God “Poll”.
Leave people to make up their own minds.
Agreed – Polls Schmolls.
Mrs Duffy hates Poles
Very good Bill.
My Labour candidate is asking locals what can be done about stuff like litter and speed limits. Leave that sort of thing to the district council! The candidate hasn’t got the guts to mention the big issues such as the economy, immigration or Europe. What planet are these people on?
I don’t think some of them are capable of running a bath let alone a country.
No mention of Lord Ashcroft………….Wonder if Gordon brings his name up tonight…..Are the bookies offering odds on this ?…..
You saw the real Gordon Brown yesterday. The minders tried unsuccessfully to hide what emerged but make no mistake, that was the real Labour leader on public view.
He genuinely meant what he said and was only upset about being caught. The bullying nature can only be hidden and not stopped.
Have we seen then “real” DC or NC? When will we?
I fear we have seen he real GO, not a pretty sight.
I do hope that the voters in Brown’s own constituency now understand that snob Brown has nothing but complete contempt for them and spends all his time looking down his nose at them.
You couldn’t make it up. The Conservative from Eton is a man of the people and the Scottish Socialist is a snob.
Does Whelan ever meet ordinary people while he is Salmon fishing?
Politics Exam.
Write five hundred words explaining why the working class don’t and the idle rich aren’t.
The workin classsss can kiss my asssss !!!!!!
Socialism is a form of Narcissism. Of course Brown is a hopeless snob.
My anger at Gillian Duffy and all the people who didn’t stand up to her
This disenfranchised eastern European will receive no apology

We are delighted with the fantastic growth in support for NULAB in Eastern Europe
opinion polls. Cameron and Clegg are not connecting with Eastern Europe voters.
As my friend Vladimir Putin said to me after I sold the UK gold reserves to him and saved the world economy ” Gobshite, you are a BIG ot” (thats Russian) ”
Thank you for your wonderful support.
Talk at you tonight.
fuck off back to Eastern EU cow,and incidentally every morning at 5 am I take my St Bernard for a walk.As we pass the news agents the morning papers are in the doorway.Horace cocks his leg and takes a long piss on the Guardian,animals just know things.
I just read that. The author burst into tears. The rest of us burst out laughing. Look at the highly rated comments. There are some weird people in this country.
and mos of em are gardener readers!
Dont read the guardian, but was that article a piss take ?…..
Sadly not. All the delicate flowers write for the Guardian. Most of us have dealt with the same number of issues in our working lives by 9am that these little
non-entities worry over for days. This total detachment from the realities of life is what makes the Guardian the ideal bedfellow with NuLabour. The Mirror is the same, except targeted at those who have difficulty in stringing a sentence together.
Dear Milena
The Rights and Liberties Party is consists mainly of the Turks living in Bulgaria. To protest the presence of the Turks in the coalition government, the ATAKA alliance arranged a demonstration in front of the Parliament. 2500 people participated in this protest.
Opposition parties left the Parliament when the Chairman of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, and the candidate for the post of Prime Minister, Sergey Stanishev made a speech to introduce the Cabinet members. President of the Parliament Georgi Pirinski interrupted the session for one hour. Nevertheless, since the necessary majority could not be obtained even then, Pirinski had to postpone the confidence vote till today. Opposition parties that blamed Pirinski for partiality declared that they are going to demand his resignation. Sergey Stanishev in his turn blamed the Opposition of irresponsible behaviour in what concerns the future of the country.
During the demonstration in front of the Parliament, the ATAKA alliance leader Volen Siderov made a speech, and shouted the following slogan: “No to the Turkish Rights and Liberties Party! We do not want the Turks in power!”
Sort out Eastern Europe first before lecturing us on how to think.
Milena Popova emotes well. Pity the Grauniad budget couldn’t stretch to a cameraman snapping her rending her clothes.
But on a (painful) second re-reading I recognised her for what she really is – a higher-rate taxpaying ‘victim’.
Coming from somewhere as free, tolerant, non-nationalistic and democratic as Russia, I suppose adapting to life among the British must be a real nightmare.
Dear God! I wish I had’nt read that awful drivel, enough to make you puke!
Looks like the Labour spin machine attempting a clean up or rinse by smearing the lady.
I once knew a Polish chap who was one of the Polish Officers who charged German tanks in WW2 – he and his fellow Officers were on horseback.
Bet he did’nt snivel at an imagined slight.
Substance vs. Style?
Politically, Broon probably doesn’t have much of either, so where does that leave us with the other two? Neither have told the full truth about the true state of the economy and the measures necessary for its repair, so will either of them dare to do so this evening?
If neither are entirely honest about the substance, which of them will lie with more style?
david cameron has said the economy is in shit street repeatedly…none of the parties wants to be first to spell out the depth of cuts necessary to rectify that scenario.
I think Gordon should come out and explain to us the key issue about immigration that came up in his unfortunate encounter yesterday…. why are so many people leaving the UK!!!!!!!
I hope nobody mentions that broadcasters have
to give more airtime to Tories and LibDems
to make up for the focus on Labour yesterday.
That would be a disaster.
I see.said Gordon. No you don’t said Dave. No one does said Nick,that’s how we get away with it.
The debate will be about the economic substance v media friendly style.
If it is, Gordon Brown will “win”.
If it is not, whoever “wins”, the voters will be lose.
Thanks for your comments Ed. Yvette is looking for you by the way.
Master Pig,
It’s interesting that you would rather the debate was about style.
Humans would probably have a different point of view, particularly intelligent humans. But then you’re only a pig, so I know you won’t feel insulted.
Sorry to say, but debate is a skill that is about style and presentation.
If someone presents bullshit well, and someone else presents facts badly. who wins?
Correct analysis of what someone has actually said can’t take place within a matter of seconds. Its even possible to wrongfoot people in a debate by saying something entirely false or ridiculous.
eddie needs his nap naps changing…piggy wiggy scumbaggy slimeball
Gordon win on economic substance?
In which parallel universe would that be happening?
uranus
The one parallel to yours….?
Well obviously it’s parallel to mine and everybody elses.
The trouble is that we all live in this one and Brown lives in another one.
…says “Braveheart” named after a film made by a short arsed Aussie.
Voters have already ‘lost’ thanks to your friend Gordon, either by £5 billion nicked from pension funds every year since 1997, since the selling of gold reserves on the cheap, and the devaluation of the pound. *
* other examples of economic incompetence from Gordon Brown are available.
Dorrian,
The UK is in a nasty place, conomically. If GB and AD had not ignored the advice of DC and GO, it would be in an even more nasty place.
Judgement, experience, personality and gravitas. All qualities the Tory leadership lacks.
You vote Tory on idealogical grounds if you wish, or out of hatred for “socialism” or Gordon Brown or just humanity generally. That’s up to you.
But, if you want the UK to recover better, quicker, for the long term and with the minimum possible damage to society, to families and the individual, vote Labour.
Conservative economic philosophy is not compatible with running a modern economy efficiently and fairly. If you don’t believe me, read the history of the 1980s and early 90s.
Brvhert,
As Harrison Ford said to George Lucus: “you can type this shit, but you sure as hell can’t say it”.
You could try to respond to it with some sense, though….
I know, I know, a lot to ask…
..but go on, give it a try…
I’ll respond how I like and it made perfect sense – just not the answer you wanted, anyway if you don’t like it Labourlist is that way >
Not in my experience, sorry. I lived through it as a teacher in Inner London.
Thatcher was necessary. Perhaps even a necessary evil. Like medicine with its side effects.
There is no panacea, nor a magic wand.
Say your wish comes true.
The hell set up by Labour well have to be addressed by Labour and it won’t be pretty either.
It will be mismanaged and unnecessary pain will be felt because ideology does not allow for the flexibility needed to skillfully steer through the massive problems consequent on Labour mismanagement.
Gordon’s eyes (?eye) are so dark, so lifeless it’s like staring into the bottomless pits of Hell. He shits my kids up and he shits me up too.
mandlscums are the same,were Nick Griffen has warm eyes. follow your instincts and vote B*NP
save us the one of the great unwashed says man smiles with warm eyes..fuck off and vote for the piece of shit you’ll suit each other admirably
My instincts are to vote Tory (much as that needles me), if you really want to protest about immigration then vote UKIP. People will take notice of a protest vote for UKIP, but a protest vote to the B&P will be ignored.
The B&P are still thugs just one generation from the NF wankers that polluted this country in the 70′s.
Please don’t mention the needles.
If only UKIP were standing everywhere…
But unfortunately they’re not.
Therefore, unless another independent candidate turns up in my constituency (and unlike the existing one, is actually prepared to reveal his manifesto) then it’s spoilt vote time, unfortunately.
You’re deluded if you think for one moment the establishment will take the slightest notice of a protest vote for the UKIP.
It will be forgotten about two weeks after the election.
Perhaps.
B&P have my vote now in both local and general elections. Under PR the B&P will grow and grow until they destroy the Liebore party in their former heartlands.
Dead eyes,lifeless eyes like a doll ,till it bites into you then the eyes roll back into its head.
That is a description of Mc Broon and socialists generaly.

A day in the life of Gordon Brown.
I read the news today oh boy
About an unlucky man who hadn’t made the grade
And though the news was rather bad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his election in a car
He didn’t notice that the mic hadn’t been changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was going to the House of Lords.
I’d love to turn on all of you ….
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and kicked a pup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the battlebus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a toke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream..Ahh Ahh
{A Labour majority of 300..!! Cameron defeated…Scotland becomes a member of the UN security council..Somebody kisses me..}
I read the news today oh boy

And though the margins were rather small
They insisted on counting them all
Now they know how many votes it takes to Kill the Labour Fool.
I’d love to turn on yooooooooouuu…

Ivor Dayoff….you might do better spending it practicing english
come again…..
If you’re looking for fat bloke on tour he’s over at labourlist.
Sorry, I need to rant for a bit.
I see the Labour tactics are to say that Gordon is a “flawed human being and we should all feel sorry for him” now that they have been unsuccessful in smearing Mrs Duffy.
I’m sorry but that does not wash. He is looking to be re-elected as Prime Minister of this country. The Prime Minister should be someone we respect, look up to and feel proud to have him/her represent us on the world stage, NOT someone we feel sorry for. This is a country not a fucking charity!
The lefty scum have always seen our politeness and compassion as a weakness to exploit and use against us. Don’t stand for it, don’t let them bully you into feeling sorry for Gordon. He is a nasty piece of work who, along with his joke of a party, have dragged this country through the mud for the past 13 years economically and socially and has made us a laughing stock on the world stage. Let’s cut out this cancer on British politics for good.
If the UK was not the joke country of the world I would agree. But the fact is it is. We have allowed any sovereignty we had to pass to the EU.Labour and Gordon Brown are a joke and the UK deserves them.Further up there is a post with reasons why people vote labour. The country and it’s population are in the same class as monkeyworld.

Can’t we have a politician hunt. the survivor gets to rule for 5 years.
Gordon Brown has given us substance – a substantial debt and is presently borrowing more than the junk economy of Greece. Why this man thinks he has done well with the economy and why journalists think the economy is his strong point in tonight’s debate defeats me completely. All he’s done is to delay the inevitable by printing money and borrowing.
Mrs Duffy now produces 897,000 hits on Google
Someone on ItV just said:
“Labour senses that they are losing votes on immigration, which they will be seeking to recover by better communication of their policies………….what poppycock!!
Labour deliberately allowed 3 million permanent immigrants into the UK in order “to change Society for ever”.
If the Greeks are already inside the city walls of Troy is simply closing the gates sufficient?
How can I put the
GillianGenie back in the bottle ?Never ever forget that Blair and Labour told us that only 13,000 immigrants would come into the UK(it’s nearer 1.3 million)and that whilst other EU members notably Germany and France took up the transitionary period of 10 years Labour didn’t.So never ever let Labour lecture you or anyone on immigration…they have forfeited all rights to do so
Fiddling around with limiting or stopping Bangladeshi Balti Chefs is not the problem and all parties know that but equally know unless they leave the EU they can do nothing about it
The problem is, in the 13 years, they have redefined the word immigration:
On the Vine radio program Brown said: “.. the view she expressed, that I was worried about, that I couldn’t respond to”
He is not allowed to comment on something that does not officially exist. There is no immigration from eastern EU. It is migration, and officially only a temporary experience we all have to just cope with. It will disappear when all regions are equal.
I assume they will be altering the weather soon to even out the final disparities.
France and Germany only allow other EU nationals to remain if they are not a ‘burden’ ie have a job offer which is classified as being liable to social insurance ie health contributions, unemployment contributions, pension contributions. This jobs must be approved by the local chamber of commerce.
No job, no stay. Certainly no benefits for unemployment if you don’t have an insurance record.
Britain is favoured as a destination as it is perceived as ‘easy’.
This is freely commented upon in the European press.
Even after the transition this will not change.
At present the Eastern Europeans subject to transition are not even allowed to come other than as tourists or locally recruited staff seconded by a company to another member state.
After the transition expires, East Europeans will be able to come for three months to look for work locally, but if they can’t find employment, its back home or move on to a new country.
poor gordon! What a pathetic figure he cuts.
substance versus style??
What substance exactly are we talking about? Because the first thought that comes to mind when I think of gordon and substance is the sort of stuff we find in pastures, swarmed up with flies, after the cows have gone home for the night.
A good analogy but you forgot that cow dung is useful.

Profile of a Bigot:-
http://www.rochdaleobserver.co.uk/news/general_election/s/1236882_profile_of_rochdale_gran_branded_a_bigot_by_pm
Grandmother Gillian Duffy isn’t the sort of person who hides her political allegiances.
The lifelong Labour supporter – who told Gordon Brown her father sang the traditional socialist Red-Flag song when he was a teenager – has displayed posters in her window supporting the party for years and she is known as an ‘outspoken lass’.
Before retiring, the widowed mother-of-one spent more than 30 years working for Rochdale Council, caring for disabled children at schools across the town.
Mrs Duffy was married to husband Richard, a painter and decorator, for more than 40 years before he passed away from cancer four years ago.
She is a grandmother of two, aged 10 and 12, and now spends much of her time gardening and looking after her mid-terraced ivy clad home in Tintern Avenue, Rochdale.
The house – which is worth in the region of £90,000 – is decorated with wind chimes embossed with ‘Minorca’ and there is a small black and white china poodle next to the door alongside a small wooden plaque to greet visitors.
On the plaque is ‘An Irish Proverb’ which reads: “May the roof of your house never fall in and those within never fall out.”
Neighbour Irene White said: “She’s a lovely lady a really nice person. She is the sort of person who puts stickers in her window supporting Labour but now I don’t think she’s going to vote.
“She’s just a really nice person who likes gardening and before she lost her husband they did a lot of work on the house.
“Like all retired people she just likes taking things easy. Since her husband died she likes to go out walking a lot.
“This has made me think about who I am going to vote for now. I don’t know if I should feel sorry for him or not. He said he had a moment but to call someone a bigot is not having a moment.
“Maybe he thought he couldn’t handle her because she is an outspoken Rochdale lass.”
After losing her husband Mrs Duffy still tries to get out and about by going on walks to nearby shops.
People like this should be rounded up and put in camps.

Braveheart, answer me this, please, because I’m puzzled. All throughout this campaign I’ve been shaking hands with old Labour supporters and wishing them well, just as they wished me well. There is no bitterness between us.
Yet New Labour supporters are so often as bitter and twisted as you are towards Conservatives: why is that?

Malcolm Tucker’s response to Bigotgate
Perhaps “Gordon v voters” and “Brown v bigots”
Brown V bigoted
BBC got Brown’s biographer Tom Bowers to do a piece yesterday to camera which didn’t quite go to plan instead of extolling Brown as the Beeboids expected Mr Bower launched into an extraordinary laceration of Brown’s character saying that the outburst yesterday was par for the course and was pretty mild in comparison to his usual outbursts and finished his “hatchet job” by saying that Brown hates the English working class and always has done.
So, he’s a bigot then?
He is now
Is that available to watch anywhere?
Mrs Duffy’s nephew has disclosed that Mr Brown’s spin doctors had hoped to persuade the 65-year-old widower to come out of her house for a staged photocall with the Prime Minister in the hope of repairing the damage he had done with his off-camera comment about her.
She refused, leaving Mr Brown to face the media alone on Mrs Duffy’s drive in the most surreal moment of the election campaign so far.
Peter Duffy, 51, who sat in on the conversation between his aunt and Mr Brown, said: “Mr Brown’s people said ‘Do you want to go outside and shake hands with the prime minister?’
“My auntie was going to go outside and stand on the drive with him. I did not think it was a good idea at the time. We just thought she had had enough.
“Then Mr Brown agreed he was going to go out and answer some questions and we left it at that.
“She has accepted his apology since but she is still upset. She is a Labour supporter through and through and she had already signed her postal vote to vote for Labour but I don’t think that has been posted.
“I think she is just a little bit disappointed really because she is not a bigot, she is a fantastic lady and she was just a bit disappointed really that someone could say that to her.
“My auntie was actually going out shopping for bread and milk and when she met Mr Brown – so she could not get anything in like tea or coffee, so she couldn’t offer him anything. It was a bit of a dry day for Mr Brown to tell you the truth!”

As George Galloway said “a smile like the brass plate on the lid of a coffin”

Gordon Brown’s rictus smile is like a glint of cold moonlight on the silver plate on the lid of a coffin.
If I understand how betting odds work, Smarkets are taking almost a quarter of each bet for their profit:
25 + 52 +55 = 132
Therefore expected value of payout is 100/132 of bets placed = 75.75%. It beats working for a living.
You realise it is a peer-to-peer market, you bet against other punters. If you are like me you offer bets against (sell the over-round). As the sum gets closer to 100% the market is more efficient. Suggest you read Smithson’s Political Punter book for more.

“I have heard that Gordon will be in top form tonight”, can you tell me then who will win the 4 o’clock at Redcar then?
Entertaining as always Martin – but you have a long way to go to match this Staggers article;
http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/public-accounts/2010/04/brown-british-turn-tonight
“So, can Gordon Brown turn his worst nightmare into his greatest opportunity?”
All Cameron has to say is the following
“You fucking one eyed twat, what did you do with all our gold, where the fuck are people’s private pensions, how the fuck did you rack up such a big debt and why do you keep pissing away billions to fucking murdering scum dictators in Africa?”
Election won, we can all switch off then.
Trouble is, we can’t.
Whatever the make-up of the next government (Con, Con/Lib, Lib/Lab, whatever) the first job is to stave off complete economic meltdown, address the deficit….we all know the score. That is going to be the most painful wake-up call most of the electorate have ever had, especially if they work in the public sector. There are so many problems – too much spending, ingrained laziness, bloated public sector pensions, excessive expectations built up by half a generation of easy living – that getting many people to understand that it all has to be earned and paid for will be hell.
The election may be the end of the hole getting deeper, but it’s just the start of trying to get out of it.
Perhaps the upcoming economic and social upheavals will start to force the political class to listen to ordinary Britons for a change.
Far more likely however is the prospect of even greater authoritarianism, and the political class clubbing and tazering the rest of us into compliance.
A certain amount of “clubbing and tazering” seems almost inevitable, especially as the unions have virtually served notice of their intentions when the cuts to public services are announced.
The other side of the coin is the need to stimulate the private sector. That’s difficult, and it’s growth will inevitably be slow. Businesses can only sell goods and services if there are buyers for them, and international competition is far stronger than it was in the 1980′s. It also means the return of the work ethic, and we’ve lost a lot of that over the last couple of decades when things where ‘easy’.
Exactly. Let Liebore and the Fib Dims be destroyed by the economic shitstorm as the IMF chainsaws rip the public sector and the BBC to shreads. The Tories win a mega-landslide in a second election in the Autumn.
Sounds good to me – providing that the Tories are led by someone of the calibre of David Davies.
Even Toenails is joining in the piss taking of the mong.
The workers who met Mr Brown in a factory in Halesowen looked somewhat embarrassed to have walk-on parts in this painful spectacle. “Your firm’s doing well in China,” the prime minister told one who was lined up to meet him.
Her reply? “Our company’s doing very well everywhere, but I think it’s in spite of you.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nickrobinson/2010/04/painful_spectac.html
Excellent link
But also very interesting reference (for Toenails) to Governor of Bank of England saying
“THE NEXT GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO IMPELMENT SUCH AUSTERITY IT WILL BE OUT OF POWER FOR A GENERATION”

I’m voting for my local sharia law candiate.I’m no raghead lover i’d just like to upset the local homo loving lefty section of the community.
Imagine how the fag press will react when a gay couple are not only refused a room in a b+b but are stoned to death aswell.
We must welcome and embrace the cultures of all our new voters……er, I mean citizens.
Deaths.
Labour. In rememberance of the Labour Party which died in Rochdale, Greater Manchester on the 28th April, 2010. Deeply lamented by a small and diminishing group of commies, brain dead prols and their union supporters but not by the population of these islands who are glad to see the back of Labour. The body will be cremated on the 6th May and the ashes taken to the nearest refuse disposal plant.
Toxic waste. Needs a controlled waste certificate and a due diligence inspection of the facilities. The public will need guaranteed protection from any contamination for at least 50 years.
Would suggest that consignment to landfill is inappropriate. Groundwater leaching could contaminate watercourses, reinfecting members of the public.
A safer course of action would be the construction of a deep repository in a geologically stable formation free from groundwater movement. As a secondary benefit, the store could be used for nuclear waste, as well.
Surely you mean ‘toxic landfill site’?
(quote) Governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King was quoted by a US economist,
David Hale, as saying that “Whoever wins this election will be out of power
for a whole generation because of how tough the fiscal austerity will have
to be.” (unquote)

Just 1/2 listening to the big debate what no one seems to ask why this country got into this financial mess, cutting regulation (because the _ankers said it was a good thing to do), aping the USA in going totally without control(or so it seems) the act of government is to control and frame what people and businesses can do and the primary job of the chancellor of the exchequer is make sure that it is done.
