    Brown strikes me as either totally thick, a liar or just slightly mad. Housing market never being let to get out of control again. Wrong, wrong, wrong. End to boom and bust and then seems to fire up a tremendous boom.

    Scraping of the 10% tax rate. Oh sorry, we got our sums wrong. Yea right!

    All politicians are lying thieves.

    They do not care about you, your family or even the country.

    All they want is to be elected.



    Harsh.

    Mostly its party career politicians that are lying thieves..

    Oh the irony.

    Brown's downfall, should it arise, may come down to the financial crisis, and his failure to reign in bank bonuses in a meaningful way.

    Perhaps this can be charted back to that fateful period in 2007 when the Finance industry 'lied' to Brown about their wonderful snake oil produce, and he bought it hook line and sinker....

    Brown is always a "little easy on the truth" and disingenuous in almost everything he says. He will do and say ANYTHING to be re-elected. We should all have in the back of our minds, whatever political persuasion, when voting in May, do we really want this objectionable, control freak and egotistical maniac to be PM for a further 5 years?

    Not on your nelly !! He's the epitome of everything that's despicable in politics.

    I thought he might be okay when he took over from Blair, being such a radical change from slimy laughing boy. It didn't take long to work out just what he really is though. :(

    God help us, there must be someone who can do better for the British people?

    I've thought about this for a while and after careful consideration..............















    Nope.

    It's definitely all of them.

    Robin Cook & John Smith were both good politicians.

    Straight as you like & incorruptible....
