    Happy anniversary Gordon Brown....

    :)

  • Comment number 2.

    Gordon Brown was alleged to be a change of government but in his first year he has gone in even deeper with the Blair Corporate Nazi ideology Its not just penalizing the poor to help the fat cat stock market parasites with the end of the 10p tax band there are many retread policies which threaten our freedom.

    He still proceeds with eco-fascist ideas like Bin Tax.
    Is bribing Manchester with money for congestion charging.
    Providing funding for the development of Spy in the Sky road charging.

    Corporate Nazi local authorities are using terrorist powers to target minor crimes in a way which would be laughed at back in the 1980s as part of Not the Nine O Clock news. or even Monty Pythons Flying Circus.

    Now we are told we are skint so no room for the chancellor to cut road fuel duty even though it works out as 10% income tax for minimum wage earners travelling 10,000 mils a year. If Brown can break Labour's manifesto pledge on voting on the Lisbon treaty he can break his pledge not to increase the top rate of income tax.

    The so called Blairites are on thin ice suggesting Tony blair who had a free ride leading the party without having to deal with any economic problems, and who was himself behind in the polls before Gordon Brown took over ,would have done any better in the current economic climate,

    And the Tories are skating on thin ice suggesting they would have handled the credit crunch any better.

    My feeling about Gordon Brown are that he needs to take a new direction in the same way that the Scottish nationalists have reinvigorated politics in Scotland.

    Only without braking up the united kingdom of course.

    And what happened to 鈥 for the many not the few鈥
    If Labour cant still say that then they have failed,
    So they better start saying it again.


    I also feel the announcement to day about speeding up the use of new drugs in the NHS is what people expect form a labour government ,
    We need more announcements like that.

    Perhaps anyone with a working brain will realize that speeding up approval for new unproven drugs which might not really work will allow the Corporate Nazis to turn the our NHS into a welfare state for the drug companies. Once again good news for the stock market parasites riding on the false hope of dying patients. Result, no money left for procedures which can cure people.

    #4. You can't have it both ways: when NICE examine the merits of a drug and decide its not worth it they're universally abused on 主播大秀 forums.

    The vast majority of the public can't even understand what drugs do or takin their basic limitations: take herceptin.... most posters on 主播大秀 forums think a magic cure for breast cancer is being denied to them by the evil NICE because it costs too much. In actual fact it works on a small percentage of tumours (Her+ ones) and doesn't even cure them... its purpose is to stop the tumour returning. The down side is that it also causes heart disease.

    Let the profesionals who actually read the trial results decide what drugs to buy.

    I assume Gordon Brown will once again show the deft touches that gave us 10p and the Crewe budget.

    On nuclear waste he has said that bids can be made to store it as that will be an essential part of a new nuclear programme.

    So his constituency will lead the way and will be making a bid? I am sure if he was pressed Michael he would take the initiative.

    Stalin when the economy looks good (on borrowed money). Who now, when the economic chickens are beginning to come home to roost? Frank Spencer with the shakes?

    Stalin's in trouble. Even his new smile's a horrid grin.

  • Comment number 8.

    One year on, and Brown's done little than publicly screw up. But some of the problems are probably unavoidable; following the US into a potential recession would happen no matter who we have as Prime Minister (or in government). Still, he's past it. Prescott still believes Brown is more capable than any alternative, and that he was a good chancellor, but he's just not completely cut out for it, and his best days are over.
