    You're proper paranoid! What do you base your prediction on?

      Don't be so sure, Labour are ahead in the polls:

      Brown will announce some popularist measures with the emphasis on 'change' (i.e. new new labour), and he'll hold an election early next year.

        It won't be overnight, but over the next few years.

        End to privitisation.
        Strengthen union laws.
        Grab of private assets such as 2nd homes, BTL, etc.
        Huge tax and spend spree.
        More central power.

        You have been warned comrade.

            Sound good to me.

            I'll be long gone by the next general election otherwise I'd do the same.

              This is very likely but as usual medium to large businesses will be exempt.

                The election officials don't like it.

                  I would agree that this is the biggest risk - centralisation of power increasingly ceded to the executive.

                  There was a good article last week in the Observer on NLs attitude to this.

                    "Don't be so sure, Labour are ahead in the polls:"

                    Every new leader gets a bump in their poll rating. Hopefully this dour fecker will get a fecking big bump where it hurts. Did anybody see question time last night. That Pires Morgan bloke needs a swift kick in the nuts also.
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!

                      Agreed, but he has been moaning on about New Labour and Blair for years. The minute Brown steps in and he reverts back to type. Everything Howard said he shouted over and quoted things which were not true and simply carried on speaking louder so that he couldn't be heard.

                      Labour will be no different under Brown. He has been part and parcel of this government since 97.
