Fair enough but it still doesn't justify trying to ruin 60m other peoples does it?

You ruined my life, a 'demented' Brown repeatedly yelled at Blair

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1253653/Go...

The then chancellor also accused Mr Blair of a 'Trotskyist plot' in attempting to stop him from getting into No 10

Also how conceited is the man to think that he ever had a given right to be in No. 10.

A job you earn Mr Brown, not one you inherit. The great British public shall hopefully remind you of that very soon.

I can see that. As much as I don't like Brown particulary, I can accept that Tony probably royally fked him over.

Rawnsley's book seems to be causing a lot of damage. I think it's becoming a possibility that Brown won't be leader before the election.

people might start to feel he is being picked on.

it could win him votes if they carry on reporting things like this in the media. They should just stick to the fk ups he had made.

why are they all giving this bloke free publicity anyway

Make that probably

I've yet to meet anyone who regards DC as being any better.

The first three times I saw his statements quoted I wished I hadn't read them. There was "look how green I am", then there was "we can't restore student grants" (yes you can if you don't try to send half the country to university) and then some guff about taxes and cuts (for heavens sake we're 800 billion in the red, just CUT something will you!!!). Posturing, wrong, ducking the issue. Just what we don't need.

If DC wins it will be because his party isn't the other lot and every week that passes allows him to open his mouth again and also puts the banks and expenses fiascos further into the past.

Still a two horse race.

Meanwhile, whilst all the public/media attention is on Brown, the Labour party are assured of a less than crashing defeat.

The Tories would do well to state the bleeding obvious and say that the PM is obviously a deranged lunatic who shouldn't be charge of a country, then get back to (missing) the open goals constantly being presented to them.

That Labour will still manage to win this election, despite the st storm surrounding them, and despite the wrecked economy/civil liberty/infrastructure/etc, says more about the Tory Party's choice of leader than it does about the country.

I agree, I think the main problem is entrenched labour voters who just cant bring themselves to vote for the Torys even though they have how seen how badly things are being run

Usually the case on both sides, hence why there's so much effort getting the 'centre ground' as the staunch Union types would never vote Tory ditto hang em high Tory types.

Hopefully when the Tories get in there will be a bit more of a swing to the right - public sector cuts, tax cuts, more freedom for the individual, tighter immigration control and a bit less political correctness.
