She didnt close down the mines, lack of orders, bad management, during the miners strike some mines were allowed to fall into disrepair. Lots of mines would have closed anyway as they were at the time economically unviable.

If you want to know what really screwed up the coal industry look at Uncle Arthur and the leadership of the NUM, flogging a dead horse. Not allowing the industry to be slimmed down into something that could have survived. Miners out on strike living on handouts, yet Arthur and co had practically a millionaires lifestyle. In fact he is still living a good life on his NUM pension. True representation.

As for '**** the north' - is this with regard to her opposition of trade unions? Because before her intervention they were able to hold a complete standstill over the economy and energy resources, above Parliamentary power. It's thanks to her that we don't get frozen every time a bunch of employees throw a hissy fit.

hissy fit! lol...she shat on the working classes from a great height and left them high and dry! She is partly the reason the banks and the greedy have left us in the mess we're in now!...dont get me started on poll tax!... she created a society where the individual and money matters more than community and people...and it will turn round and bite us in the ass everytime

At least other Prime Ministers, good or bad, were ELECTED by the public, we had the choice to vote or not on who we wanted to lead this country. Brown on the other hand was simply handed the post by Blair as if it were his to give. What *****ing audacity and arrogance to bypass the electorate altogether because of some pact the two of them made years ago. Talk about going from dumb to dumber!

I am quite concerned about that.

If any other party took over, they have to deal with these huge debts, it means a large scale of spendign cut. It has not started yet.

The country might feel the new goverment is worse than the previous one.

Yet he still might win the election!

Don't let that be a reason for voting for him in the election. Both of them are awful on balance.

There ARE other parties to vote for unless you think Brown IS the best option out of all of them?

ANd waste on a vote, the Labour and Tories are the only running Parties that have a chance to win a election. Im a lib dem supporter, but can you see them gettign enough votes, I think not.

You have to think of it as if it were a categorical imperative. If everyone voted for an underdog party like the Lib Dems, they would get into power. Sadly we are in this chicken and egg situation where people aren't voting for them because they don't have a chance they don't have a chance because people aren't voting.

Of course LibDem are more United with the Conservatives.

Which is good for a 2 party control.


Making sure Stinking Corrupt New Labour are burried 100 feet under.

In the case of Brown and Cameron, It's better the devil you know. The history of the Conservatives should be enough to put anyone off them.

It is Time For Change

[BB_Eye]

I expect more boom and bust economics, more unemployment, lots of banned movies and videogames, declining conditions in colleges and universities and a further decline in social mobility when the Tories get into power.

The only thing I am looking forward to is seeing police back on the streets and doing proper policework and even that is a maybe if the Tories continue in their obsession with cracking down on drugs.

[Captain.Remy]

And me who thought Berlusconi and Sarkozy weren't popular...I guess I found worse.

"The only thing I am looking forward to is seeing police back on the streets "



Yes it is a Change for Good.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Thatcher...the root of all evil

[Mystic Mock]

yes his a hypocrite aswell he told john major to call an election wheres him doing it and once david cameron took the lead over him he didnt go through with the election his clinging on for power

[Shasown]

Is Gordon Brown really that bad i mean all he is doing is being the fall guy for Tony Blair.

Now personally he was the worst prime minsiter in my eyes, a supposed christian and ex-cnd member taking us into Iraq etc. Education for all - was only there to keep youngsters off the dole and run up student debt while getting a degree in some wonderful made up subjects like media studies. He runs the country into the ground then walks away and leaves poor one eye to take all the flak.

Then again there was Neville Chamberlain, a complete knob if you ask me , waving his bit of paper around declaring "peace in our time!" What a tool.
