How important to be so clear on these matters
It could be a much longer litany, ND. You could add some. Is it normal to put our energy supplies at risk by selling generating capacity and development potential to foreign companies? (to mention just one area of expertise).
Good one, HG.
Well, given that Gordon Brown is so clearly not normal, none of this is a surprise, however shocking.
My ex, who had the pleasure of working in the DWP for many years, said some 6 or 7 years ago that Brown would be an utter disaster as PM. How right she was.
He was an utter disaster as chancellor of the Exchequer Elby. He's bad news always.
He is not alone in what he stands for though, just peculiarly and personally disgusting. Every self-seeking, fawning, Labour member of Parliament voted for what he and his party have done in the last 11 years. Now they protest, but where were they as he impoverished us all and wasted every year in which manufacturing and industry were not encouraged? As the Labour party and its policies were imposed to damage us all? Imposing them, that's where. Brown couldn't have done it alone. They are all responsible and should they be made to face their constituencies ever again, they must all answer. Not the leadership, all of them.
