I noticed yesterday that “all and sundry” (excuse the ad) were blogging about the Gov and in particular Gordon Brown and the petition to get him to resign, good idea but too little too late, the damage is done.
And even if he did resign, which I doubt very much; who would be his replacement? And how would they get us out of the “Brown” runny stuff, I think the answer is they can’t.
Even if Gord calls an election tomorrow and the Tories get in, what will they do? Here is what Cameron would do-BBC NEWS
“Mr. Cameron told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the chancellor had been "dishonest" about the realities of the economic situation and his growth forecasts, on which the government is basing its public spending plans, were "probably junk".
“Ministers needed to "roll up their sleeves" and get to grips with the task of reducing the growth in public spending now.
"The success or failure of a Conservative government, if one is elected, is going to be whether we deal with this enormous problem that we have," he said.
"It means the whole way the government operates is going to have to change. It means ministers actually being rewarded on the basis of how they can save money rather than spend it."
'Culture change'
Mr. Cameron said the Conservatives had identified three areas in which savings should be made.
Projects such as the ID cards scheme and the Contact Point child protection database should be scrapped, the tax credit system should be scaled back and the pay of the public sector "quangocracy" needed to be tackled.”
He would not be drawn on other potential spending cuts that would be needed if the Tories came to power.
But he said there would have to be a "massive culture change" in the UK as the government strived to get "more for less" out of the public services.
Or in other words he doesn’t know, Mr. Cameron said he opposed the 50p tax rate for those earning more than £150,000 but it would have to take its place "in the queue" of tax changes the Conservatives wanted to make.
London Mayor Boris Johnson and some other Tories have called on the party to scrap the 50p rate but the leadership have said this would not be a priority and they want to focus reducing the tax burden for those on low and middle incomes.
Conservative MP Peter Luff told the Financial Times the 50p tax plan was "a trap" set by Gordon Brown.
Of course he opposes it, he is a Tory and Tories only tax the people that can’t afford it.
And William Hague forever with his finger on the political pulse is about to accuse Gordon Brown of "debasing the coinage of politics" by not holding a referendum on the European Union's Lisbon Treaty.
The shadow foreign secretary will say Labour has squandered voters' trust by not giving them a say on EU reforms.
He will use a speech ahead of European elections to argue this is a betrayal of Labour's manifesto promise of a referendum on the failed constitution.
Ministers say the treaty does not carry the same weight as the constitution. BBC NEWS
Who gives a monkey’s nuts about the European Elections, I haven’t voted in one since they began and I have the sneaking feeling that I am one of the majority.
We are screwed, at least for the next ten years or so and maybe for the next twenty five, we and our children and maybe our grandchildren will be paying off the hundreds of billions “needed” to bail us out.
Brown has screwed us, he should resign, but more importantly he should call an election, and his pension and golden farewell should be taken from him, after all what is good for bankers that didn’t perform should be good for Prime Ministers that lie.
