Brown Tuesday

If all is just, then today should be the day that the public loses its final bit of faith in the Labour Government. It should be the time that people psychologically opt for change. I know I’m a Tory, and therefore biased, but I’ve been speaking with a number of friends who aren’t of the same political persuasion and they are very worried. Labour bloggers are too.

The whole thing stinks. If the Deputy Leader of a party can’t be trusted and the Chancellor is viewed to be incompetent, surely it should be the employment being held accountable? Brown shouldn’t be allowed to recover people, just make sure you all take note of what’s happening. Is another crisis around the corner? I very much know so.
