    And GB has just talked for a minute about things he has already done not what he is going to do!

    First sentence and, as predictable, GB can't get through a sentence without referring to the 'global recession'. Now back to the TV to wait for the 'hard working British public'.

    and don't forget prosperity for all...............

    Brown is a fidgeter isn't he!
    I think they all come across well in their own ways. But then I think I'd be worried if they didn't, the roles they are in.

    Brown has to talk about what has been done rather than what do: its something concrete he has to play with

    ID cards for foreign nationals...
    I'm sure this has a simple answer but, NI number applied for and secured, how does an employer know you are foreign...if applying for a second/subsequant job?

    Its bollox really.

    Peoples skin colour, nationality, ethnicity, religion does nothing to make their opinion any more or less important than any other persons.

    No wander why people aren't inspired with the conservatives.

    Not sure what you are getting at here.

    Clegg has just said "young offenders". Same old same old. Why does he have to focus on the young? Why not just say offenders?

    Its a fair point IMO.

    But to follow it through, why was it a woman victim of crime....etc etc. I think its arguable all this stuff is almost as relevant to some people as it is irrelevant to most.
