HAVE YOUR SAY

Do you think the Prime Minister has ruined the economy?

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(49)

GORDON Brown yesterday admitted being “very worried” about the impact of crippling price rises on families and pensioners.

He conceded that millions of households were suffering under the financial squeeze.

It was a confession likely to intensify concern about his Government’s stewardship of the economy.

*** INFLATION WATCH: SEE THE DAILY EXPRESS COST OF LIVING INDEX ***

As he spoke, new figures suggested further downturns in High Street spending and lending by banks.

But Mr Brown claimed Labour would not be punished for the economic gloom in tomorrow’s town hall elections, arguing that local issues dominated the polls.

Do YOU think Gordon Brown has ruined the economy? Should Labour be PUNISHED for the economic gloom?

*** HAVE YOUR SAY NOW! ***

So Gordon Brown thinks that by not charging us extra to have our rubbish taken away he is going to make us all love him.

Egotistical fool! We are NOT stupid Mr Lier Brown. After going back on your promise of a vote on the EU treaty, No one with even a modicum of sense will believe Anything you say in future.

You were a washout as chancellor, you are Washed-up as a Prime Minister, please just GO!

"The party's tally of councillors has reached a psychological barrier of 100 - but a deeper look at the nationwide results reveals that there can be a world of difference between a point of importance for a small party and a genuine gathering of electoral steam.

In fact, those councillors represent less than 1% of all those elected in the UK and gains on the night, beyond the headline-grabbing result in London, were short of some expectations. "

yes, we beeners are sooo mighty, with our less than 1% of council seats in the uk.

such political power!

it really is a groundwell of popular support, isn't it? i mean, this history books will write about it like this, i think:

"in an era of economic and social turmoil, where media driven anti-immigration feeling was at its peak, one party emerged... at it's peak, it had a massive mandate, collecting nearly 1% of the UK's local government seats. "

har har!
yea, congrats on that. i guess the champale and the wine in a box will be flowing freely at beener hq for weeks!

reconcile these two statements you've made:

"CFB ..... your boys took one hell of a beating last night"

and when i respond and say that i am not a labour supporter you follow it up with:

"Nobody cares who you support or vote for, it just has no meaning or significance here........"

--several times now you have demonstrated an inabilty to have a coherent discussion, or to follow one thought after another.

I always imagined that you lived in a caravan, but now i'm starting to wonder if it is not a nursing home instead.

I can assure you now CFB, that labour and Mr Brown are very interested in.

Global food prices
Fuel prices
Gas and Electricity prices
Unbridled immigration
Street crime

VERY VERY INTERESTED
