Reply to: Gordon Brown: All Britain needs is confidence in itself

But sadly, only another hard barstard can sort this out.

The Torys have little to offer, and things would need to be very dire for us to need another Maggie

Strange, I was just watching sound of music this weekend - "I Have Confidence"

What will this day be like? I wonder.
What will my future be? I wonder.
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?

I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared

A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack

The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me

So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me

Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me

And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me

Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!

It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)

I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!

I can't quite believe it but Brown has just said on Sky news we've got "low public debt"

We do have low "public debt". "Public debt" does not include:

• Unfunded public sector pensions
• PFI schemes
• Bank bailouts
• Network Rail

Are there any candidates who match up?

I'm not sure, but let's hope we don't go the Germany route.

Well, somebody fathered his kids.

You know, we really should spare a thought for his kid. Someday that kid is going to look up, open his eyes, and say "DADDY??????????????? "

[Doggy Styles]

Does he know what an election is?

Confidence would go through the roof if Brown resigned and called an election !!!

Does he know what an election is?

I thought Tories said lowering taxes now was just a temporary action to win votes? Doesn't that mean they would rather have more tax?

You are obviously a bit thick so let me explain. Keeping taxes as they are is not lowering taxes. Putting taxes up is raising taxes.
