Gordon Brown's Policy Points Dissected:-
- A strategy to tackle anti social behaviour - "We reduced crime by reclassifying much of it as 'anti-social behaviour'. Now we shall reduce anti-social behaviour by reclassifying much of it as 'unruly behaviour'."
- No compulsory ID cards - "We will put an stop to what we started in the first place."
- End to binge drinking - "See ID cards (above)"
- Teenage mother's hostels - "We suggested this in 1998. But in view of the fact that it never happened, we are perfectly entitled to suggest it again... and again."
- Get tough on ASBO dodgers - "We will be tough on ASBO dodgers, tough on the causes of ASBO dodging (i.e. Gordon Brown, who downgraded ASBOs.)
- An elected second chamber - "It is indeed fortunate, Comrades, that this didn't happen when we first promised it, because my government would fall apart without it's unelected peers. But next time round it really will happen... Honest."
- Change - "The great thing about change is that you can keep on promising it, even if nothing really changes. Let's face it, we're not getting any younger... or even staying the same age for that matter, Comrades. And that is indeed change!"
"To conclude, Comrades: If at first you don't succeed, try (2001), try (2005) and try (2010) again..."

Apparently the Sun Newspaper says he's 'lost it'. Whatever can they mean?
ReplyDeleteI think that you should point out to your readers that there is a difference between the Parmenidean view of change and the Epicurean view of it.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Mr Brown is referring to change as something that he cannot and will not do himself but that will happen to the the world around him.
Would you concur?
I am still not sure that Gordon is getting it.
ReplyDeleteI rather believe that The Sun should stick to what it does best - i.e. page three and leave the people to think for themselves about their future leaders.
ReplyDelete'Change' is the most overused word in the politicians' lexicon. That and 'dreams'. And 'hope'.
ReplyDeleteOh and of course... 'British'
I wonder whether Gordon Brown has ever thought of hiding behind the cloak of patriotism?
ReplyDeleteNo-one can answer the question of whether Gordon is 'getting it' other than Mrs Sarah Brown.
ReplyDeleteIf the Tories get in, everyone is going to be in for a shock.
ReplyDeleteThey have some really ruthless policy research stuff up their sleeves. They are just not talking about it for fear of scaring people.
But come a Tory government, the British people will be in for a shock, you'll see.
Odd that Brown bangs on so much about elected this and elected that.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't elected, nor was the most powerful man in his cabinet
How many people who read the Sun actually know how to vote... or bother voting?
ReplyDeleteIn all truth, The Sun has always been a Conservative paper. It jumped on the New Labour bandwagon like everyone else - there isn't much distinction between Labour and Tory nowadays anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit of an exaggeration to call the Sun a newspaper
ReplyDeleteBrown has these great ideas that are going to cost even more money. He's finding the money from efficiency savings and delaying ID cards - hang on, weren't those the efficiency savings that were going to help pay our borrowings?
ReplyDeleteDo people really think 'Bullingdon Boy' cares about the Sun reading white van man! The Sun did not really support Labour in the first place. They were just backing the winning horse.
ReplyDeleteI love it when Brown says in response to the Sun backing Cameron: "It's the British people that decide the election, it's the British people's views that I am interested in."
ReplyDeleteYeah right. That's only because he wants to turn the election to his own personal gain. Not because he actually wants to follow or respect the public's wishes. After all, where was our EU referendum? Did he scrap ID cards?
Apparently the Daily Star still supports Gordon, so it ain't all that bad
ReplyDeleteBrown is still waiting to see what happens after the Ireland vote - which will probably go 'Yes'.
ReplyDeleteHe is hoping the resulting ratification issues will split the Tories...
We'll see.
Yes, Europe is his only hope now... That and the economy picking up...
