HAS BROWN CREATED AN UNFAIR COUNTRY...???

26.08.08, 7:09pm

Too right he has.....the * Europeans' he has allowed into Britain by the coach loads have priority over the Brits...they come to Britain and get everything served to them on a plate, social security benefits, housing, education. I fear for my childrens kids, as they dont have the say anymore where their kids go to school, even catholic schools have muslims in them. This cant be right if we went to muslim countries would they allow catholics and jews into theirs?.not...
Immigeants of years past basicallt had a right to be hear and I am referring to Indians and West Indians...they were part of the 'Great british Empire' and to give them their dues THEY worked....and lets be honest Britain had to reap what it sowed. As to these 'Europeans'why are they allowed to come here in their thousands? why not go to other countries? Because it is the fault of this stupid government the governments of other countries are cautiously monitoring how many come in, and when they do they dont get nothing for free they HAVE to work.If we went to their countries there is nothing..!! My kids say ' you know what mum unless your a foreigner, gay or disabled you dont get nothing in this country' Now if that is the attitude of the young in the UK and through no fault of their own, no wonder theres all this trouble with the youngsters..so I would say brown has created an unfair Britain and should take responsibility for their own actions.

WORSE OFF UNDER GORDON BROWN

26.08.08, 6:15pm

Reason's why we are worse off under this man's leadership is he'll never was a leader in the first place;work &job's for british people he announced; Some european countries are asking for their bricklayers back why because Gordon Brown signed our country away to Brussels&Burocrates to the Human rights act that states that it's Tom,****&harry's humanright to come into britain to work ;Hence that's what has happened; Polish, french, slovics,iranians ,iraqi's indians, just to name but afew, all desended on britain, overloading the health services, education, creating havoc & who cut back on these services Hier gordon brown our so called leader, he also cut the police services so they are over stretched;messed up the pension system, dental nhs system;plus ignored the Irish vote on the treaty who said NO & proceeded to sign Britain away to a foreign power,so now we are all taking orders from unelected burocrates in Brussels, "HE HAS SIGNED HIS JOB AWAY" So are we worse off under Brown; The answer to that is a 100% YES & Gordon Brown should be impeached or something & never be allowed to practice politics ever again....

ARE YOU WORSE OFF UNDER GORDON BROWN?

23.08.08, 8:38am

In a nutshell, yes. My husband who retired 2 years ago has gone back to work so we can keep pace with the rising prices. Our little bit of savings were dwindling through normal everyday living. This is not what we envisaged for our retirement but sadly is the reality for the present at least. We would like to sell our house and move to something smaller so that we can enjoy some of the fruits of our hard work, but in this climate it is not much point even putting it up for sale. This labour government is the worst Government I can remember and has certainly pulled the rug from under us. Under labour we have every man and his dog coming into the country and claiming all the benefits going. Even sending child benefit back to their families in Easterm Eurpope. Disfunctional familes all living on benefits and being encouraged to do so, whilst the rest of us flogg ourselves silly to pay for all this. The Utility companies are making obcene profits yet still putting up prices but nothing is done. Supermarket prices are rising week by week and not just pennies either. To keep blaming all this on the price of oil just will not wash anymore. I think some suppliers are jumping on the band wagon, blaming it all on the oil situation and using it as a chance for outrageous price rises. Labour have lost the plot. Gordon Brown was a pathetic Chancellor who, despite Labour's claims of his prudence, did not make provisions in the good times and now he has no money in the pot. He has wasted money right, left and centre and will continue to do so until he is voted out. The last thing I read was that he was giving £2m to Gorgia. Why? There are plenty of services and places here that could benefit from £2m. Unfortunately, Gordon Brown is a self centred egotistical man who schemed for years to be PM, and is determined to hang on until the bitter end even if this brings the country to its knees.

THE SOLUTION TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS

22.08.08, 1:23pm

I know - I have a brilliant idea!

Instead of dealing with the problems, let us get millions more immigrants in and make *all* problems *infinitely* more worse for our children and their children - a sort of pyramid scam if you will.

Oh sorry - that is what our corrupt government is doing at the moment.

NOT JUST BROWN, ALL OF THEM!

20.08.08, 2:09pm

This is a quote I came across by Churchill,
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the Gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery!"

Says it all really. Fireowl

ENGLAND UNDER BROWN

20.08.08, 12:50pm

England is very much worse off under Gordon Brown than the Celtic countries.
They have more spent on them per head of population than England, and they get life saving drugs we can't have.
Get rid of Brown and his cronies, then either equalise spending in all 4 nations or break up the Union.

My income so far this year has dropped like a brick re what I can buy for my pound.

Goodbye Gordon we can't afford you.

Indeed so Beefsandwich was perfectly correct in what he said.

The Equality Bill (put before paliament on the 26th June 2008) gives employers the right to choose an ethnic minority candidate or female candidate over another - a white male candidtate, specifically because they are an ethnic minority or female.

In my way of thinking that is positive discrimination - though no doubt Brusselsprouts will disagree.

FISHERMAN IS THIS TRUE ?

20.08.08, 9:29am

That there are changes in the law that will discriminate against certain groups. ie middle cl**** white males ?
How pathetic ?
Does this woman not realise that our males have invented, discovered, and enlightened us because their brains are probably able to focus and assimilate details far more effectively than females. A huge generalisation I know and I have often been slated for this fault but thats tough...we all have faults...some worse than others. I am not sexist or anti sexist or anything else along those lines but it is crazy to exclude a whole group of human beings from the job market.
It would appear that having used man to invent everything that moves we are now ready to discard him.
Well, as a female, I see the wider picture....not in detail perhaps....but enough to know that without him the world is a lonely place.

I AM BETTER OFF UNDER LABOUR..

20.08.08, 8:46am

.....I have a large Office and staff at my beck and call, and a London flat all paid for by the taxpayers, my free chauffeur driven car is there for my convenience. My family home and contents are paid for through very generous allowances that I put in place, I have a large weekend retreat with a full staff for when I am feeling stressed. I give myself a large wage increase every so often and look forward to my Golden handshake and inflation proof pension when I retire. When things get a bit too much for me I travel free in First Cl**** all over the World talking to other 'Leaders' who all do the same job as I do. I can do just what I want, when I want, I answer to no one, life couldn't be better!

IT SEEMS BRUSSELS

20.08.08, 8:14am

That once again it is you with the flawed recollection and not Beefsandwich.

Changes in the 'Discrimination Law' as proposed by Harriet Harman could legally block white men from jobs or promotion in preference to women or ethnic minorities.

That, which ever way you look at it, is discrimination.

Jobs, promotion, university places etc should be based on merit - not colour of skin, religious belief, gender or post code.
