Brown's election climbdown: one year on

silent hunter

Thank God he didn't go for it!

Can you imagine the damage to this county and its people the Great Clunking Ditherer could do with a complete parliamentary cycle under his belt.

As Marlon Brando said in Apocalypse Now..........

"the horror...The H O R R O R !"

The General Election cannot come soon enough.

Thomas Cussans

It is invariably the case that, seen later, any political interview is shown up as precisely what it always properly was: lies, lies, lies and lies.

The best that can be said of McNutter one year on from his statesman-like decision not to call to an election is that he was, as he remains, certifiable.

What have we done to deserve this maniac?

And who said that Andrew Marr was a softy?

Political betting is utter rubbish. The website politcal betting encourages gambling. The spectator should not give credence to such a shallow website.

Bobby Unro

Please do not advertise a website which encourages betting. It can wreck lives.

Dirty Euro

Political betting is a pro betting pile of rubbish. It is devious. Written by offensive buffoons like Morus. It is propaganda for the betting industry.

Dirty Euro

Political betting is a disgraceful website it encourages betting it is not a good website.

Jack Ladd

'Dirty Euro' etc. Isn't it wonderful with the left that their only defence when caught out is abuse - no substance or reasoning, obviously no brains either - abuse, every time

"The Horror! The Horror!"? Did "Apocalypse Now" lift that from Conrad's "Heart of Darkness"?

Dirty euro: Just checked that website. Didn't see how it could be any worse than things euro - and I never gamble.

I enjoyed reading it .... very punny! Metaphorically speaking, I bet Mandy Pandy's not reading it, though.

Political betting does less damage to the economy and therefore to the lives of the people in this country than Labour's insane tax and spend policies.

Marr was in good form but I suspect that is because as a good BBC hack he could see that Labour had made huge strategic error, and was pissed off with Gordon.

I cannot stand watching the man speak, but already after minute 4 of the clip, he is giving a good demonstration of the wisdom of the old saying, when you're in a hole stop digging.

Well , at least he was true to his word, that he wanted to get on with change in the country.Its bloody changed alright, for the worse, in Littlejohns words, we are all hiding for hell in a handcart at present. In Europe countries are beggering their neighbours, the elite are just about clinging to the wreckage of the Euro and what remains of the EU.

Darling Brown say they will do "whatever it takes" well if thats the case, go now then and give the country at least a fighting chance to save itself.

Kevin

He wanted to show the country his vision for change. Well, we certainly got that.

To b'stardise a famour song lyric

Travis- you were like a Bat out of Hell with that reply.

"If you throw 5bn at a problem and not show you are going to fund it, you can convince people you have a policy ... leads to economic disarray" GB. 2:25. What does he say about that 1 year on!
