    In the brown

    Way past the point of no return now. Once the ratings drop that low (24%), there is no recovery. Momentum is gone and everyone realises it's now a lost cause.
    Tories were always hovering above the 30% mark even at their darkest hours.

    I doubt tax cuts are on the agenda, he's spent so much dosh in the public sector he can't afford to give owt away. Best we can expect is less tax increases although I should think even this is unlikely as he'll just find stealthier ways of taxing instead.


    The bad thing about all this tho' is that the Tories (in my opinion) aren't up to much either.

    Time to give The Conservatives a shot to get Britain back on track.

    Though I think the sun reading, football supporting, big brother watching unwashed who ask no questions are also to blame for letting him get away with it. They should be put in irons too.
    I think the word you're looking for is "guile".

    As for people being put in irons, it should be the bastards who couldn't be arsed to vote who should be punished!

    GB is a Scotsman, he hates England, what do you expect?

    I feel sorry for Gordon Brown

    He lives in a Lib-Dem constituency in an SNP-ruled constituent country, and works in a Conservative-led city.

    At least they are all trying to stab him in the front.
