Patricia Hewlett’s tears over Brown
Well, after today’s events I think we all need cheering up at bit. So I’ll just play this clip on YouTube which shows Patricia’s reaction (she is referred to by her family nickname Zoey) in 2007 to the resignation of Tony Blair and the prospect of Gordon Brown as Prime Minister.
This obviously explains a lot!
(I won’t name and embarrass the person who originally showed me this clip in a very different context. But hat-tip thingy anon anyway)
expel them
ReplyDeleteas they have obviously joined the Tories
Hewitt blamed the left for Kinnock losing now Brown
All Hewitt cares about is building up her portfolio of companies
now shes stood down as a MP
Bye.......
The Tories don't want her..she is mediocre like most of the other members and former members of this Government. I have to laugh when I remember "no more boom or bust" - and the famous Iron Chancellor - Britain's most succesful post war Chancellor don't you know! What a discredited bunch. The party of "economic competence" - give me a break.
ReplyDeleteBrown still better than any other chancellor
ReplyDeletewere only in bust because of the *ankers
American and British *ankers
his only mistake was bailling them out
smash capitalism
Actually Brown set the FSA up that caused the problem...he expanded the money supply..and he sold our gold reserves for peanuts. He knighted most of the bankers that caused the problem.
ReplyDeletei think your find american sub prime was the cause of the crisis
ReplyDeleteget your facts right
Siobhan McDonagh should be barred from standing shes no better than the Militant Tendancy wreckers
ReplyDeleteAt least those "Militant Tendancy wreckers" wouldn't have initiated the mass-slaughter in Iraq like Blair and Brown. New Labour is in no position to lecture anyone about political extremism.
ReplyDeleteAmerican sub-prime is not the cause of the scale of our public debt my friend.
ReplyDeleteLabour's largesse of spend, spend, spend has made it worse.
So although there was to be pain, Labour made it more so
Hi Anon
ReplyDeleteWhat rubbish – the neo-con USA sub-prime fraud and associated British based banking thievery has directly caused this recession mainly due to the massive drop in tax revenues. If it wasn’t for this market failure we would simply not be in recession. QED.
Its all (repeat all) your lots fault. IMO.
Actually John,
ReplyDeleteAnon was right; how on earth can the sub-prime collapse explain this Country's National Debt?
Hi Mikew
ReplyDeleteErr - read what I said above?
It explains the recession, not the National Debt.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike
ReplyDeleteThe national debt was fine before the recession. The recession caused a massive drop in tax income which directly caused the problem with national debt.
Therefore the reason for the state we are in is massive free market failure and the incompetent, thievery of its major actors.
It's fascinating, getting a glimpse into your own personal world...
ReplyDeletemy pleasure!
