            OK that ruffled a few feathers. Don't forget, though, that Labour did introduce it in the first place and said at the time it would be temporary; the Tories certainly would not have introduced a lower rate for the less well off.
 Thank you for that reply, but at the end of the day the Labour party who by the way is supposed to stand for the working class, firstly made the remark that they have done nothing wrong, then woppie do goes back on their own words.0

            That was a major mistake that will haunt Gordon Brown as long as he is in politics IMHO, It was not so much that he removed the 10% (non savings) band but that by reducing the standard Tax rate appeared that he was taking cash from the poorer people and giving it to the rich!
 Mr Brown has no charisma which does not endear people to him but I believe that most people have 'gone off' him because of the 10% tax gaff!
 In spite of the above I think Gordon Brown is experienced enough to run Britain but I don't like the bloke myself, I like Boris (who does have charisma) but I would not trust him to run the country. 
 Many thanks for your view of Boris, and i do most certainly listen to your views, BUT in the thetime that Gordon has been in power can you honestly say that he has achieved a positive out look for britain???0

            Look guys/girls at the end of the day we are in the brown stuff, Boris doesn't cut the chase. he has made it clear that it's time for a change ref the Met Inspector..but he has not slagged him off. he had his hands in his pockets when talking at the olympic games..so what,he is only a man the same as three quarters of britains who have the same view.. dont you think it's about time that we supported this type of person???0

 But do you honestly think Boris, Cameron and his old etonian cronies would do more for the working man?
 Lifting children out of poverty, introducing the minimum wage, low inflation, low unemployment... more than the Tories ever did.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0
