Labour’s members of Parliament have told Brown in plain terms that they think the biggest obstacle to regaining popularity is his own performance, reports the Mail on a series of meetings with regional groupings.
'In a meeting at No10 with the party’s influential North West group, Mr Howarth, a member of the Privy Council, challenged Mr Brown when he blamed Labour’s woes on the economic slump. Mr Howarth told him: ‘I have to tell you that many of us think it is not so much the economy that is the problem, but you who are the problem. We would like to know what you are going to do about it.’
Brown then did a Kruschev at the United Nations, banging on the table and venting what is referred to as his 'frustration': ‘In my opinion, the real problem we face is an economic one and I am doing all I can to improve the situation.', he dissembled. When Former Whip Greg Pope 'brought the debate back to Mr Brown’s performance' stating, ‘The problems we have are not just economic, they are political as well.’, Brown demanded: ‘Trust me, I can fix the economic problems and that is the most important issue.’
Well, yes, he can keep his clients onside. Flint is offering to take on the adventurous debts taken by those without means or intention of meeting them. Local Authorities will be provided with tax-payers' money to buy up their devalued houses and unsecured borrowings of various kinds and they can return to being council tenants, after their brief fling with capitalistic risk has ended in abject failure.
Some, those paying tax, and not paid out of tax-raised funding, might feel that they had jollier things to do with their money than subsidise Brown's feckless. Or even more prudent things, like saving for their old age or for periods of unemployment. But so inappropriate are they in their view, that taking their money and using it correctly on the deserving, hard-working, heartlands, client family is the right thing to do.
No wonder people who earn their living and create wealth are fleeing for the hills, as abroad is now known. Anything to escape Brown and his hordes of rabid, conscienceless, Labour-voting, self-justifying thieves.

Krushchev's outburst was not all all spontaneous: he brought a shoe in specifically to hammer the podium with.
But at least he stood up at a Politburo meeting and destroyed Stalin's reputation in 15 minutes, so Russia could begin to move forward.
Destroying Brown's reputation has been done, S, repeatedly by Blair, Mrs, seniorissimo civil servants, colleagues at ministerial level and formerly so, early acquaintances, university administrators and teachers, journalists, pundits, even bloggers. Teflon Tony has nothing on Brown and his ability to survive universal and wholesale contempt in evey aspect of his work,quality, and being.
The reason is because precedent is always that - a historical and illuminating likeness, but not something that will be copied or repeated necessarily. Brown's survival is of itself a powerful indicator of the irrelevance of formerly powerful forces. This is why I have remarked that there will be a general election when, and only when, it serves, not according to popular understanding of 'constitutional' rules.
Even the collapse of the UK economy, happening now, not threatening, or doubtful and perhaps avoidable, happening right now, does not bring his regime to an end. If anything it creates client voters to support his rule should he be driven to ever facing an electorate. We have not been here before in England, and it is not easy to have a take on who retains him, what he pays with, and for how long, under what conditions, he can deliver.
Who are Brown's paymasters?
Well, at least it looks like a few NuLab worms are finally beginning to turn - but words are not enough; the seriously disaffected, and those with the power to do so, must ACT. Perhaps they will grow some cojones (as the Spanish have it) at their upcoming conference and finally ditch him. Watch this space, but don't hold your breath.
PS: The trains are still running and Dover and Heathroew remain operational.....
PPS: the word ver for this is: soldgb !!!
Are you or Blogger doing this deliberately??
I suppose new Labour are the first British government in a very long time to realise how much they can get away with. Wasn't it Charles lamb who said that governments are as bad as they dare to be?
Wait till they get creative with the use of Orders in Council - I believe they have done a few stunts already, including (I seem to recall) changing the rules about Civil Service impartiality.
