THAT Gordon Brown? Not bad???!!! Just give him another four years in power and watch him finish off the job of grinding this country into the ground.

He may have been Chancellor but TB still had the final say. As for the Iraq War, it was in the end Tony's decision. Amusing really because as PM his mandate for involving the British Armed Forces in conflict was for defence, so amazingly a reason for invasion for defence appeared, now it appears there were a few kinks in the truth. His mandate was exceeded regardless of how he now states we did the right thing removing Saddam. He was advised without a reason for securing defence of our realm it was illegal.

If it was up to me personally I wouldnt give Gordon Brown four more minutes in power.
