Kind of gets me that Blair is off scott free, making millions on the book and after dinner circuit after a neat hospital pass to Brown just before the world went tits up. Brown has then fumbled one crisis after another with everything from expenses to Ghurkas...although he has not had luck or timing on his side. And the knives are out as the cabinet jostles to save themselves rather than acting in the best interests of us The People. Which is what I pay the f**kers for with my 40% tax.


A change of some kind has to happen but must it be Cameron, an expert at capturing the mood in his rhetoric but with no real balls or substance behind it. And why aren't the Lib Dems stepping forward with more conviction to take advantage?


I'm so disillusioned I'm about to vote Green - not a bad vote considering.


Anyway - how long do you honestly think Brown has left? I reckon less than 4 weeks.

Judging by the locals the Tories will reap the rewards. Depressing really, consistently the libdems are the only ones who make any sense but sadly liberal is becoming a swear word so the public will get what they deserve from their lack of imagination. Ten years down the line when a tory gov't is in disgrace they'll ....... Vote labour.


Pathetic.


And I'm rathe rod the opinion that brown too got what he deserves. He played the political game to get what he wanted, and agree with earlier poster saying he would put his ego ahead the good of the country or he'd do the decent thing and let the country decide, I gather we live in a democracy apparently.

Mr Ben, I've just voted Green. I'm not a usual Green voter, and I'm always torn between 'Greens are a cult' (the opinion of some) vs. 'Greens have some really good policies that have been adopted by mainstream parties' (which is true). It's a perfectly valid option in these times, as is LibDem. Anything but the two main parties.


Really, we need to change the model. Consitutional reform. And the big two will not do that.

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
    • I used Aria recently to replace the basin waste for my bathroom sink. He was super friendly, communicative and helpful - including changing the washer on the new replacement I bought to ensure longevity. Would highly recommend.
