According to the Times. So at last an admission his first chance was crap.
It wont really matter how many chances he gets, I dont think he has quite got the message, however succesful he was as chancellor, people simply dont like him, It may not even be about politics or anything he has or hasn't done-people simply cant connect with him, when will he finally understand that in a democracy you vote for people for all kinds of reasons, and some of them are based on presentation, charisma, sincerity etc etc, and the democracy(majority) have spoken, they simply dont like him.

Re: Gordon wants a second chance
Apparently he was a bully in his previous role as chancellor.
Very much a single operator, apparently not even telling his boss Blair what was going to be coming in the budget.
Then the undermining that went on to ensure Blair stood down.
So perhaps a few people he "worked" with, are secretly pleased he is getting his cum uppance.
He is not a team member and I for one felt sorry for Blair having to have him as a member of his Team.
I think he is an embarrassment for our country..... ie turning up late for signing treaties.
When is this nightmare going to end.

It hasn't even started yet- the real hell will be a Tory government. That's the nightmare.

Re: Gordon wants a second chance
One of the most egotistical people to ever run the country. He would have only allowed the public to vote in a general election last year if they voted for him. When he realised they wouldn't, he didn't let them vote. It is obscene! Also, how can it be fair to have a Scot running England when English MP's aren't allowed any say over Scottish affairs? Dreadful!

Gordon Brown is an arrogant little shite, his answer to higher heating bills is for the poor to lag their lofts, someone should lag his fucking loft because i dont think he has much up top !rant!
Re: Gordon wants a second chance
>however succesful he was as chancellor
But he was not even successful as a chancellor.
He had the job during a time when the worlds economy was going OK (unlike now for example).
If he was chancellor NOW people would say he was a BAD chancellor.
He sold half our gold reserves at a time when the gold price was at its lowest and since then the price has constanltly risen. This cost the country over 2 BILLION pounds.
He introduced Family Tax Credit that has been riddled with fraud and has also cost this country BILLIONS of pounds.
He borrowed money at an alarming rate, such that now the EU have told us we have to reduce our defecit.
If he had been prudent during the good times we may have had some savings for the bad times (like now).
And dont forget he made the cock up over the 10p tax band.
Does this sound like a man successful in his job. I dont think so.
He was like a person riding round in a Rolls Royce giving the impression he was a millionaire when all the time his house was waiting to be repossesed.

I don't mind that, and I don't mind him being arrogant either. I don't require politicians to be pleasant.
What I do mind though is stuff such as the public-private partnerships that came into existence in his reign as chancellor. Basically mortgaging the future budgets on building hospitals and schools for short-term gain. That is perhaps a forgivable strategy in a recession, but when the economy is strong (which it was then) it's madness. I never understood that the media did not shred him to pieces for that. You got the odd explanation from the likes of Evan Davies on Newsnight that would clearly point out the weaknesses of the scheme, but elsewhere noone seemed to have been bothered by this.

"however succesful he was as chancellor"
Or was he good at his job? I think maybe it's birds coming home to roost.

Re: Gordon wants a second chance
A second chance won't get him anywhere - every time I see his face or hear is voice I feel a sort of hatred inside. I just wish he'd disappear from the scene.
