Forums Forums National News BROWN HAS GONE

As i said before i will not knock this coalition government for knocking sake, it has to have the chance to do what it can, then be judged. The fact that Gorden Brown has removed himself form party leader is one good thing to come out of all this, whether he removes himself from politics is no concern of mine, that's between him and his constituents. If what has happened in the election means New Labour is defunct and it has to move in a different direction, there will be no tears from me.

It has always been my belief that politicians regardless of what political party they belong to have their set agenda.
Self survival, party survival, Country, in that order.
Over the last few days this has become more self evident and will become more so in the coming months as more things come out and are reported.

Though this coalition has been given the go ahead, it is not going to be plain sailing, even leaving the Labour party out of the equation the Tory and Lib Dem die hard will see to that.
One thing the old Tory guard didn't expect was for them to have to form a government with another party, David Cameron is going to have to watch his back, Nick Clegg may fare a bit better, but he will come under pressure from his own party when it becomes clear he will eventually have less and less influence. We shall see, it should be very interesting.

Can I ask is Matt working for David Cameron? or maybe you are him?

Cracking point!!

Lol the ID card section of the Home Office website has already been deleted...

www.homeoffice.gov.uk/passports-and-immigration/id-cards/

ID Cards were "agencied" in 2006, its taken this long for the home office to realise ....

Clicky

Before the election:
TORIES: 'Jobs tax jobs tax blah blah blah'

After the election:
TORIES: 'We're putting up national insurance contributions for employees' (not for the big businesses who wouldn't have backed us if we were gonna make them pay out more money)

What happened there then?!

All I know is that now the tories have got in there is talk that VAT is gonna go up, national insurance is gonna go up, my child tax credit is gonna go down.
