Gordon Brown's porkie pies

Gordon Brown says things he knows to be untrue.  And which he knows that we know are untrue.

Yet like a lying school boy, he persists in the deception. 

He did this over the Lisbon Treaty European Constitution.  He did it over the scale of the debt crisis and depth of the recession.

And, as Fraser Nelson brilliantly observes, he's doing it again when he insists on telling us that he'd increase public service spending year after year.

Not only did Brown think it acceptable to hire Damian McBride.  He also says things he knows not to be true.  Such is the character of our unelected PM.

You are forgetting a wider point about his lying; he has managed to destroy any trust in the sanctity of a party manifesto, having stated that they aren't technically binding.

This, more than anything, is what puts people off politics; saying one thing and doing another by a lying class.

Sadly I doubt Cameron is any different, and intend to put this into practice.

The thing is that we all known that Brown is a myopic,overpromoted liar.

The trap is focusing so much on one man and attributing so much blame to him (even though fully deserved) while allowing the Labour party in general to skulk in the background.

Brown is mearly an avatar of Labour in general and the sock puppet of Mandelson in particular.

By attributing so much of the blame onto one man you give Labour the oppotunity to replace him (a popular move in of itself) and present a semi-clean slate to the electorate.

Labour must be held collectively accountable for their misdeeds and not be given the oppotunity to regroup under a new leader....for after the European constituion has been ratified by the Irish I am sure that a new Labour leader will be in the offing.Just looking at the Labour front bench today gives me the feeling that they are biding their time until Mandy clicks his fingers and forces the issue.

Brown is proving to be impervious to external pressure while he enjoys the support of the PoD and focussing on him so much I feel is a red herring.One that will gift the Labour party room to manouver when the hammer falls.


O/T I have figured out why my comment on the carriers did not see the light of day.I hope that you follow the link provided Douglas for a honest look into the world of HMF.(although I would be mildly surprised if you had not done so long ago).
