I don’t know about anyone else but I want to know what he plans to do?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Let's face it, his good polls over the past year or so have been due to Gordon being useless rather than the tories saying much.
The Tories have been doing that since 1997.
Since then we have had virtually all salary-linked pensions wiped out by removal of 150 Billion in taxes on pensions, which also contributed to the downfall of Equitable Life.
We had our gold sold off and ridiculously low prices, costing about 7 Billion.
Just recently we have the VAT reduction costing 12.5 Billion that everybody can plainly see is not achieving anything but wasting our money.
.. and now we have the biggest recession in the UK in history !!
IF LABOUR HAD DONE NOTHING, LIKE THE TORIES HAVE, WE WOULD ALL BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF !!!Comment

I still keep thinking GORDON has a masterplan - after all why did he bottle the chance of an election in Autumn 2007? Yet all the indications and foul-ups seem to suggest otherwise. I can only presume his plan is to hold on as long as possible.Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on TwitterComment

He will hold on as long as possible, throwing billions every week at the Banks, in the forlorn hope that all will turn round before June 3rd 2010.
that must be about 70 more weeks, times 10 Billion a week = 700 Billion more to waste perhaps !!Comment

If the economic situation gets much worse, Gordon will be forced to temporarily cancel general elections.
I can also see the potential terrorist aspects of criticising the government in such circumstances.Comment
