HAVE YOUR SAY

ARE YOU WORSE OFF UNDER GORDON BROWN?

Has Brown been ineffective during his time at No 10?

SOARING food and fuel costs pushed up inflation at a record rate to a 16-year high yesterday.

Last night Gordon Brown’s handling of the economy was blamed after inflation hit 4.4 per cent, double the official two per cent target.

It is now higher than at any time since April 1992.

Tory leader David Cameron launched an attack on the Prime Minister over fears the rate will continue to soar to five per cent.

Mr Cameron said rising inflation proved Mr Brown had been ineffective during his decade in Downing Street.

* Do YOU think the record rates of inflation are a result of Mr Brown being ineffective during his time at Downing Street?

* Are you WORSE OFF under Gordon Brown?

JAMES CROSBY IS CORRUPT AND IS BRINGING THIS COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES

Given that James Crosby (ex-CEO of HBOS and St James Place, both of who were involved in a massive ponzi scheme headed by 2 accountants from late 2000), is running the FSA and for several years now - AND has been successfully BLOCKING a Public enquiry into a huge fraud that took place with HBOS operating it at the 'helm' back in 2001-2003, it's interesting how he is now sitting on the Government "think tank' panel, hailed as a "mortgage Tsar", supposedly "to find out why the UK mortgage market is collapsing" !
DISINGENUOUS is the least of it - he was the 'man at the top' when the rot set in, where HBOS (under his 'rule') issued scores of delinquent and fraudulent sub-prime loans to innocent victims, in order to fund-raise the huge ponzi scheme, headed by 2 accountants (both serving jail sentences since early this year) - AND got away with it apart from a nominal £1.25m money laundering fine. Nice work if you can get it ! Crosby almost tripled the Bank's profits in these 3 years in question !!

HBOS even used the fraudster accountants to provide all the bogus 'statements of means' for the delinquent loans that they granted on a 'green light / no questions asked' basis. Nice, huh ? the innocent people are having to live with the consequences of this abomination.

THE FSA SHOULD BE DISBANDED & G.BROWN DEPOSED

03.09.08, 11:38pm

HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT NO COMMENTS ARE INVITED AGAINST THE CORRUPT FSA AND AGAINST HBOS IN THIS FORUM ? THIS IS BECAUSE THE FSA IS NOW BEING RUN BY THE EX-CHAIRMAN OF HBOS !
That's right.

Now, if you want to figure out why the Bank of Scotland's share prices collapsed, and why the FSA have just given them the 'all clear' in their "investigation", beware because the FSA's "investigations" are back-scratching exercises !

Gordon Brown is allowing the rot to run the country and wondering why we have the worst credit crunch in 60 years.

ARE WE WORSE OFF UNDER BROWN??

24.08.08, 11:27am

Well put it this way......this government is ripping people off with their stealth taxes, fuel and energy bills risen...cost of food risen.....council taxes risen.....inflation up, a recession on the horizon. Theres nothing positive to say about them even losing confidential data and their suppose to be in charge of the British security.
Where has Britian gone? there are so many ex pats now leaving the country ( and understandably so) so many immigrants coming in using our health, education and housing system. If Brits go to other countries they cannot get this, and why? because other countries in Europe are not as stupid as the UK.

INCREASING WORK FORCE NUMBERS

The best way to redistribute wealth is to end mental illness. This would free up £100 billion a year in the UK alone. The Kadir-Buxton Method cures the mentally ill in just thirty seconds and a local practice nurse can do it.
We then use the five Buxton Coefficients of Unemployment at a local level to create jobs for them, and suddenly we have ridden out the economic crisis and can look forward to another four years of Gordon Brown. Go for it Gordon.

How about this?

Brown beans, the musical fruit,
the more you eat, the more you toot,
the more you toot, the better you feel,
so eat Brown beans with every meal!

Perhaps not............
