Do the honourable thing Mr Brown and resign.
You're completely out of touch with the people of this country.

The Farce Continues

If we needed further proof that our MP's have completely lost touch with the rest of us then we need wait no longer.
In a secret ballot they have just appointed John Bercow as the New Speaker.
John Bercow is one of those who was exposed for his outrageous expenses claims.

"The expenses files disclose that he charged taxpayers more than £1,000 for the cost of repairing a blocked lavatory at his second home.
The Conservative MP for Buckingham was forced to call out a firm of plumbers after the lavatory at his home near Westminster suffered a severe blockage.
An engineer discovered that a sanitary towel had damaged the macerator pump, requiring it to be replaced at a total cost of £1,197.51."

Does the House of Commons secretly want us all to join the BNP?

Or have they simply lost the plot?

MP's Expenses Published

Once again Gordon brown has shown himself to be untrustworthy.
The government has published a list of MP's expenses going back the past four years but has blacked out all the information that proves MP's have "misbehaved".

So if The Telegraph hadn't exposed the scandal we would never have known about it.

The Iraq Enquiry

After announcing that the enquiry would be carried out in private Gordon Brown has once again performed a U Turn following a public outcry.
Gordon Brown promised more transparency just a few days ago, did he really think he was going to get away with this?

Labour Party in Tatters

Having been unable to work for a few months now I have had the "privilege" of watching the Labour Party flush itself down the toilet hour by hour, day by day.
I've watched a succession of politicians putting forward their views on why Labour did so badly in the recent elections but, in my view, not one of them got it right.
The majority blamed the expenses fiasco but if this was it then why did the Tories do so well?
Tory MP's have been implicated in the expenses scandal , so too have Lib Dems.
The low turnout was the reason given for the unexpected rise of the BNP.
If this is true then how come the BNP vote increased considerably from last time?

Based on my own thoughts and from discussions with friends and family I believe the reasons for Labour's decline are as follows...


Gordon Brown...

In my opinion Labour will never win another election with Gordon Brown as the leader whatever happens in the next few months.
He should have resigned as soon as the recent election results were known.
He was not elected to the position of Prime Minister and in my view he has never had the support of the English public.
And despite his promise that politics will be more transparent under his leadership we've just learned that the Iraq enquiry will not be made public.
He has shown himself to be untrustworthy, weak and indecisive.


Global Recession..

Yes we know there's a global recession, we're all sick of hearing it.
What we want to know is why we're in a worse position than virtually every other country in the
European Union.

Immigration..

Not one of the major parties will address this issue and this is why people are turning to the BNP. Unless somebody really gets to grips with this problem the BNP will only get stronger.
For a large number of people it's already too late, the damage has already been done.
We need to get tough on asylum seekers, at present they get far better treatment than our own homeless.
Immigrants in jail should be deported, whether illegal or not.
If they can't obey our laws they should not be allowed to stay here.
Illegal immigrants with no identification should be kept in detention until they produce ID, not released back into the community as they are at present.
Needless to say most of them simply disappear.

Crime..

No matter how the government massages the figures we all know that violent crime is on the increase. We witness it ourselves every day.
Sentences are too short, prisoners are generally released halfway through their sentences and our prisons have become holday camps.
The Sonnex case in particular highlights the problems with our justice system and, despite Jack Straw claiming this was an isolated incident, this is not the case.

MP's Expenses..

Although we've seen some pretty shocking reports over the past few weeks I don't think it's the expenses scandal alone that is responsible for Labours current demise.
It's the PM's reaction that put the last nail in Labours coffin.
While the PM was dithering and promising that the problem "would be looked into" David Cameron took decisive action.
The committee that was set up by the PM has just cleared Shahid Malik of any wrongdoing claiming he acted within the rules regarding his expenses claims.

I rest my case.
