the economic problem we face is world wide...and not created by this government or any other. Fact is Gordan Brown is doing all he can to dig us out, with-out putting to much strain on the future. It is interesting to note we were basically the first to slash interest rates....all other nations have now followed. No matter what your politics are, I think you have to accept that politically Gordan Browns grasp of economics is unrivaled...certainly in this country. we stil have stormy and choppy waters ahead, but I do trust him to steer us a path through it.
I think he is out of touch, inneffective and only out for himself....
no difference there then!!!!!
well people will always try to blame someone else rather than admit they cannot control there own budget, all these must have things that are not really a must have, while jumping on the property ladder with blinkers on. But hey it's nearly christmas so thats another excuse to spend what we cannot afford, and then we can all blame the lenders for giving it to us in the first place.
As for the OP’s question, he’s doing the job to the best of his ability and at least he has some experience at hand, the people who think differently are just opposition, it’s like getting a Man United fan to admit Chelsea are the best football team in England.
It would be nice to see a change of leader, however I don’t think that in the present climate that David Cameron is the man for the job and if he did take the job at this time it would be a horrendous career gamble.
And when the conservative party are elected the banks will start lending again....I wonder why....But then, most of the bankers vote conservative. Until then they are buying-up all the shares that have fallen in value (due to their stupidity in buying unsecured depts) to sell again when the economy/ies recover, which they will.
I think G. Brown is doing ok, which is quite good considering that he's trying to get a "conservative" banking organisation to do what they should be doing anyway....lending short-term to good businesses. Maybe they should be taken into state ownership anyway, even if only to sack the tarts running them at the moment....
Anyone see the news of another 50 billion dollar fiddle ?
And these are the guys running banks ?
Now, who would they/he vote for in an election ?
I think Mr brown is much malighned.
Wasn't he the one who passedon his drug habbit to his superstar wife?
poor Bobby

As I understand it (and I may be wrong)the public elect an individual m.p. to represent them in parliament,there are no official groupings of m.p.s' in parliament but the existence of the parties allows our representative (the Queen) to easily choose who to invite to form a government,this person then appoints ministers to office (they can if they choose ask m.p.'s from any party)
As for the topic in hand.....Brown like most "new" Labour m.p.s is a closet tory and has betrayed his parties roots and electorate.......So no he is not doing a good job...by default the country can only be run fairly and equitably by a socialist government , any other would/does sacrifice the needs and aspirations of the majority for the benefit of an elite few
we all knew that gordan brown was going to be the prime minister. Tony Blair quite clearly stated at the last general election, that he would not stay the full term. Did anyone really think anyone other than Gordan brown would step into his shoes.
Now then when the tories decided to kick out and Mrs thatcher and replace with John Major..now then let me think...did we have a general election...er thats right..no we didn't.
Yes it is true..we all knew Blair was handing over the keys to Bottler Brown, at some point.
The thing I hate is when they talk about democracy. Anybody who voted against Brown was politicaly finished. Anybody who would have stood against Brown and lost, would also have been finished. Thats democracy?
For me I feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of people who have lost either all or part of their pensions. But like Brown and all the other cronies in Parliament, theirs is index linked. Theirs will continue to grow.
If Bottler Brown had any decency in him, he would have called an election, but he had no bottle...he would have lost at that time.
We are on a downward spiral, now out of control, and whilst Christmas spending in the shops has been better than expected, which is mainly due to every shop dropping prices hugely to attract shoppers, after Christmas it will be terrible.
Does Brown really think that giving the banks £90 billion of our money going to save us? He must do cos he saved the
Ten years as chancellor, ten years of looking after our finances, and now given it all away to stop the greedy bankers from going under. Woolies was not greedy yet they are going under.
The guys a knob in my opinion and the sooner he is sent packing the better. I would rather have my Grandaughter in charge, as least she would be a bit more honest than the Bottler and his cronies.
Oh Sam, there are times I just want to cuddle you....
lots of famous people at Woodstock, and singing.
It's an easy mistake Sam.
