I'm yet to hear a single good idea from him.

If we end up with a Labour government it'll be because the Tories lost not because Labour won.

Think about the prospect of a Labour/Lib Dem coalition with Milliband and Clegg at the helm.
To be honest I'd rather not!!! Sadly we will only have the blue rinse faction of the Tory party to blame for voting for that nice young mr Cameron over that common Davis chap..
I think it's safe to write off the Tories until that insipid
Liberal tt is gone...

Please don't say that! My buddy just texted me; he is at the Tolpuddle Martyr's festival. Some guy is wearing a T-shirt saying "Die Tory Scum". Got to love those non-nasty lefties.

Quite probably the strongest anti-UKIP argument possible.

If you want to hedge your bets against Labour forming the next government place a bet on them to win the most seats. Then you can use your winnings to pay for the extra tax rises they will no doubt introduce by stealth. smile

Not so sure, I think it'll be a combination of useful idiots being fooled into voting for Labour - many of the same people who have been put at the bottom of the pile by Labour's very policies, and the totally unfair boundaries whereby Labour can gain fewer votes but end up with more seats - the fixing of which that utter worm Clegg failed to support.

no return but they'll double your rubbish collection fee like last time.

How do you freeze the price of something thats imported - invade a gas producing country? Or will shale gas enable him to do this?

Small potatoes. Preparation for another nolabour:

1) Acquire an ACA, ACCA, CIMA - any sort of accounting qualification, Brown was the great saviour of the accountancy profession.
2) Get the biggest mortgage ever and buy the biggest box there is. Turn that box into separate boxes and rent them to housing benefit tenants.
3) Never save a penny. We're all in it together when politicians have wasted everything so don't be the joker with a savings account.

It was a wonderful day early in 2000 emigrating from the UK - giving a metaphorical two fingers to the slimeball that was Blair.

Gordon Brown was only just getting into his stride.....

Not in time for next year... If Scotland votes for independence they'll still be with us for next year's GE.

Perhaps they'll give us a tory government as a leaving present??? laugh

yes

Miliband "look no tax and spend"

Leopard "look no spots"

There's no such thing as an albino Labour Party, and if there's anything in it at all (unlikely) it probably signifies a plan to borrow and spend.
