Brown...."I will change" LOL

Well, he's certainly changing our economy faster than most in Europe.

If it's any consolation, the fact he is doing it in secrect and has timed its publication to tie-in with when it will be best for him, politically, to publish it, will make him sink even further down in the polls. The Daily Mail have devoted their whole front page tomorrow (I saw the 'papers review on Sky News just now) about this, and they are giving him a kicking in the disfavourable way they are reporting it. So this disliked person becomes even more disliked due to his actions today. What a fool.

The Sun newspaper which I read today (I didn't buy it, I found it on the Tube) have given him a real blasting. Their political editor Trevor Kavanagh has said that what has happened to Labour in the last week or two is so grave that it might be the end of the party. Even during really dark times that party's have had before (Major in the 1990's, Labour in the early to mid 1980's, Labour in 1978/9), you never got happening to them what has happened to Labour recently. Numerous ministers resigning in a matter of days, getting only 15% of the vote in an election - your lowest for 100 years - and so on.

This party may well be doomed. It could fall apart once again, like it did following their destruction at the 1979 election, when not only the party was in ruins but their ideoalogy was too. Within two years a breakaway faction had formed and 29 MP's left the party to join it.

But your point was just childish sniping, calling the PM boring and predictable. How predictable from BSH! !laugh!

Who says I'm content? Stop assuming things.

Paul Krugman advises us all to back Brown. At least until the economy looks a little healthier.

He says David Cameron "has had little to offer other than to raise the red flag of fiscal panic." I trust his judgement.

It is strange. He would have done better to have not announced he was having an inquiry, in any shape or form, and that would have been better for him. People haven't seen him as having much to do with the whole Iraq thing anyway, and most would have remained of the view that Tony Blair was the one who was largely responsible for it. That remains the case of couse because Blair took us into Iraq, but now Brown's decision to have an inquiry, how the inquiry will be conducted, and how lots of things connected with it are happening because of political issues around Brown, shows Brown in an even more disfavourable light.
