Brown Gets It At Last:“We cannot have the Budget defeated."

The Leader is going to feel our pain. “I understand how difficult it is out there. I understand that people out there are fighting the elections and questions are being asked. With food prices rising, fuel prices rising, people want to know that we do get it, that we understand what is happening to them... [Isn't the government fighting the elections. Brown seems to think he's above winning votes and influencing people].

"Issues have come up in the past. We have dealt with those." [He's lost it here; what is he talking about?]

"We have a responsibility to listen, to hear and to understand what has been said." The man is so differently-abled he has to be instructed on how human beings interact with one another then accidentally reads out the instructions on his brief that are written in to help him to appear normal; he'll be reading out "look up, smile", next.

The pretence that nearly five and a half million poor people are not made even poorer by New Labour tax taking, sustained for months until payslips arrived with the money gone (Brown actually demanded to be shown payslips proving people are being impoverished! What is he on?) has finally been brought to an end.

When will he grasp that if the New Labour tax take had been less onerous during their failed years in power, people would not have had to support their living standards by credit card borrowing and remortgaging their houses.
