Warren, there will be no apologies from me for calling the Brown arsehole a dictator, the word dictator means Absolute Ruler which is exactly what Brown thinks he is as he takes no notice of what others think just as long as he gets his own way, he is a dictator hiding behind a flawed democratic system.

Margaret Thatcher was a dictator as she would never listen to the views of others and would remove anyone in office who disagreed with her, Tony Bliar was also a dictator but a least both of them had a mandate from the people to be leaders, John Major when he first became PM didnt have a mandate but there is no way could he be described as a dictator the opposite in fact and he did then go on and win a general election which is something that i doubt dictator Brown will ever manage to do, and he remains an arsehole until he starts listening to what the people of the U.K. want and what they dont want is ever spiralling utility bills just to satisfy greedy shareholders and Brown has the power to put a stop to it but he declines to do so.

During WW2 Winston Churchill was a dictator because he had to be where on the spot decisions had to be made and you couldnt spend hours,days or weeks deliberating around the cabinet table , but after the war the people dumped him as they wanted a more democratic leader and until Maggie Thatcher came along that was how the system worked, John Major was old school and he may have just been lucky but things ran quite smoothly under his premiership and when he left office he left the Country in a sound fiscal state, but then Bliar took over and started to dictate and Biffo Brown took all the credit for the sound economy that as Chancellor he had inherited and promtly sold most of our gold reseves when the gold price was at an all time low whereas today it has sored to an all time high, and to see the country through the hard times we could have borrowed against that gold but alas we no longer have it beciuse Gordon was so up his own arse that he thought he would never need it and i bet now if there was one thing that he wished he had never done and that would be not selling our gold, all he has left now to raise money is to squeeze the people and Brown loves the high energy prices because it brings him in more revenue via duty and vat so dont ever expect him to put a stop to the utilities from overcharging because they are making up for his past mistakes which he being a dictator will never admit to.

Because people wanted a change and they certainly got one, remember Biffo Brown when he was chancellor proclaiming that there would be no Boom and Bust all the time he was in charge of the economy, well tell that to the increasing number of people having their homes repocessed, now he is in charge of the country hasnt he changed his tune telling us that we are in for a hard year and we must tighten our belts, yes thanks to him fucking up our economy and that is why we are paying more than double what the French are paying for electricity.

We may be in for a hard year.....who knows?
Every year was a hard year under the Tories from what I recall. THAT'S why we changed the government.
If things are as bad as you make out, you'll not have to worry as everybody will vote Conservative next time around, won't they?

Prof it was your mate Zooter who bought politics into it, i was merely asking a question as to why we here in the U.K. are paying more than double what people do in France for our leccy, but as zooter has bought politics to this thread and Biffo Brown and his cronies are second rate Conservatives as they have none of the old Labour values then what is the choice at the next election, its either the Cons or the Nu-Labour Cons as no doubt the Liberal Cons will come turd !happy! and whilst we are on the subject of the utilities Southern Water who are also my supplier were recently fined ?20 million by the watchdog for poor perfomance mainly interupted supplies, burst leaks to you and me, but that money goes straight to old fat Biffo again to squander, it does nothing to compensate the consumer !sad!
