He just doesn't get it!

Brown plans an army of teen volunteers

The Italians have tried it

I find it incomprehensible that an educated career politician like our Dear Leader Brown should misunderstand the meaning of two very simple words. The first being VOLUNTARY , meaning actions done in accordance with the conscious will of the individual. The second being COMPULSORY, meaning mandated by legal process or by statute.

He is doublethinking and he is extolling newspeak.

Can he not see the difference? These are not going to be volunteers, they are going to be compelled to ‘volunteer’, that isn’t volunteering!

Is the Labour party struggling so much with youth recruitment that they have to compel young people into becoming Brown’s Brownshirts or the Labour Youth?

Brown on Terror

We are about to take the war against terror to a new level.

Seriously, FUCK OFF. We don't need to escalate this clusterfuck of a war any further. In fact, when the hell are we going to withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan?

The War on Terror is a complete fucking sham/scam, which has cost far too much in blood and money, fighting a mere concept. Illegal seemingly unending war and an increasingly totalitarian society are NOT the right ways to deal with the threat of terrorism. In fact, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have undoubtedly made the UK less secure and so more likely to be the target of a terrorist attack.

Thanks Tony and Gordon, what a legacy you have left us with. Cunts.

Stelzer attacks Brown

Respected American economist, Irwin Stelzer has come out and attacked Brown's premiership in this article for the Daily Telegraph.

Stelzer argues that despite Britain's current problems, the country can be fixed - but crucially NOT BY BROWN.

Brown's attempts to 'save the world' are distracting him from the task in hand - that is to deliver for the people of Britain. At the moment he is not doing this, and we are poorer, both financially and politically for it.

Time for an election, anyone?

Brown on bonuses

Over at the Times our Dear Leader is empathising with the "millions of hard-working people" about how those nasty bankers that he claims have ruined the economy (No, it couldn't perhaps be anything to do with him, him being the Chancellor under Bliar) are now getting bonuses for their misdeeds. Obviously, our Dear Leader wants to distance himself from the fact that now UK PLC has a significant shareholding in many of the UK's highstreet banks, and so is in effect paying these nasty bankers such sums.

However, his analysis forgets to mention one crucial nugget of information. If it had not been for his Government's insistence that all the banks needed saving by partial nationalisation, then there would not be such a 'moral hazard' of taxpayers paying bonuses. He has created this situation.

Also, if those nasty bankers realised that the taxpayer would not jump straight in when things had gone a bit pear-shaped, then perhaps the remuneration structure would have been slightly different. Bonuses might have been awarded for long term performance, as they would have known that in order to keep the gravy train rolling, the bank paying their bonus still had to be solvent!

Oh well, we can rest assured that "we are taking further steps towards building a successful, competitive and responsible financial sector of the future." Whatever that will mean.
