HAVE YOUR SAY

IS BROWN BRITAIN'S WORST EVER PRIME MINISTER?

Story Image


Gordon Brown

Friday July 11,2008

THE financial squeeze on families is worsening – but last night the Prime Minister and Chancellor were busy bickering among themselves.

Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling were understood to be at loggerheads over Labour’s increasingly discredited stewardship of the economy amid the soaring cost of living and stalled housing market.

Mr Darling has twice threatened to quit over “control freak” Mr Brown’s tinkering, it emerged yesterday as details of their growing rift were exposed.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT GORDON BROWN.

IS HE THE WORST PRIME MINISTER IN BRITISH HISTORY?

HAVE YOUR SAY NOW!

Surely that should be 'bean mis-counting'

I'd love to know how despite record tax receipts he's managed to get us into so much debt. Its like Bill Gates calling Ocean Finance for a loan...

IS HE THE WORST PRIMINISTER???

22.07.08, 9:09am

The whole EU project is established on lies, corruption and deceit The trouble with Brown one gets the impression he does not trust the British people or he hates the British people. For his actions over the treaty he is cursed and everyone hates him. In a recent poll 95% voted to leave. Why wouldn’t you? We have a huge hole in our budget because we send £35millions a day = £12billions a year = £156 Billions over 13 years during which time the very brave EU Auditors rightly suspecting the day of reckoning may come, have refused to sign of the books over this period because 95% is unaccounted for/Missing---Stolen???. Yet despite all this, Gordon and Blair saw fit to give them £1Billion from Maggie’s claw back. Blair knew he was going so he signed and left the country and Mr Brown snuck in hoping to be missed. They way the British people have been ignored is disgusting and the way the Queen just signed means our checks and balances are gone. This means that our constitution has taken us as far as it can. An educated people demand the right to referendums as the Irish have and so have the Swiss. I never forget the way Millbank turned up his nose at that suggestion like a smelly rag was brought in. The MP’s like the present situation because only once in four or five years do they have to kiss babies and answer questions. Blair’s emotional words saying we had to be at the heart of the EU making the decisions ignores the fact that over great swathes of time we are excluded from the councils. Anyway these Island are fringe not like Germany at the heart of the EU. The **** Guedo status hides the fact the Portugal just made them guilty until proven innocent. In Britain you are innocent until proven guilty. But the media and Government have remained silent. In other words long fought for rights by our forefathers are being swept aside. Hence Gordon Browns wanting to do away with Juries as they are uncontrollable.

CHOMERLY: " HE HASN'T DONE ONE GOOD THING THAT I CAN RECALL SINCE HE WAS GIVEN POWER JUST OVER A YEAR AGO".

Actually I think he seized power - Blair was given very lttle choice - Brown and his gladiators basically gave Bliar an ultimatum - push off or else.

Then, do you recall such athing as a full and free democratic election for Labour's leader? I don't. Brown was basically crowned leader after a bloodless coup.

Unopposed (except by a token loser), unelected and self-appointed this pretender was not GIVEN power, he TOOK POWER whether we liked it or not.

And on your other point. No Brown has done no good at all since he siezed power. But he has done an awful lot of bad.

IF HE WASN'T BEFORE HE IS NOW.

I think that i've said this, or something similar, before on a previous post.
A measure of a man or woman, whether a politician or not, can and should be judged by his or her actions.
It would seem in this case that Gordon Brown has been judged by the people and rightly so. The Lisbon treaty is something that the people should have been given a vote on whether or not it takes more or gives us more power within the EU. To sell our gold reserves as early as he did weeks before the price of gold shot up shows how much control he wanted to maintain in all areas of government when he should have left it to the chancelor and listened to the advice given.
He should be using money from the treasury to sort out the issues we have within the UK and reduce national debt rather than giving billions to the EU who's accountants can't 'account for it.
Inept in his duties and a disgrace to the country. This man has wanted power from the get go and now he has it, he doesn't know what to do with himself.
He hasn't done one good thing that i can recall since he was given power just over a year ago.
The facts speak for themselves.

BROWN AND HIS 'CABINET CLOWNS' DO NOT REPRESENT ME

21.07.08, 12:04pm

I despise "all MPs" in general they are self serving sycophants, who are no better than fast talking conmen, in other words ****.

Brown is no better than a self elected dictator who understands little of the 'real world' apart from what his 'intellectually challenged' labour MPs tell him, his inability to judge situations and reach satisfactory conclusions is evident. Brown is a 'bean counting' idiot with not an ounce of charisma, he has surrounded himself with a bunch of moronic 'boot licking clowns'
who together have caused more harm than good to this once great country with their ill thoughtout 'off the cuff, knee jerk policies' and extravagant spending habits.

My personal view is that Brown and his ilk do not represent me on any issue, in any shape or form. I would give Asama Bin Laden the time of day before a british MP.
