Gordon's saving the World.

Who believes Labour policies pushed by Gordon Brown will cure the ills of the British economy?

If you are over the limit on your credit card, is it wise to get another or a third.

That is exactly what the Government is proposing but they will not be around to start to repay the huge debts already being stored up for future generations.

Government ministers and Gordon want us to believe the world is following their lead, but reading between the lines this is not exactly the truth.

Trust Gordon? - not likely.

Gordon Brown wants us to trust him to lead us through the recession. His instinct is to borrow our way out of the down turn.

That's like giving the shoplifter the keys to the shop. How many future generations will it take for the country to repay what this government has already borrowed.

After years of increasing costs on everything the Government touches, tax cuts are the new idea of the Prime Minister. If Brown removed some of the stealth taxes imposed over the last 10 years the current crisis may have had less impact. Ordinary people can be trusted to manage their own finances - most people at more prudent with their own money than politicians.

It's time now for the Government to start to cut back on spending not heaping more debt on the nation.

The present crop of Labour politicians will be long gone with their golden pensions before we see much improvement in Britian's fortunes. It will not be the Government of Mr Brown who pulls the country through the worst of this recession it will be the millions ordinary people who always bear the brunt of government excesses.

Should Gordon get the credit for the mess -Yes

"Gordon Brown has a plan" - the European leaders are now following his lead to refinance the banks.

Is this because Gordon knows what he is doing or because other European countries haven't a clue how to sort out the financial mess we are all in?

Gordon got the country into the mess in the first place and now he is the saviour or is he? The stock markets around the world don't seem to think so.

Northern Rock is bailed out with billions and is now effectively Nationalised. Their record on repossessions is much more aggressive than other banks - in effect the Government is putting more people out of their homes in an effort to have the loans repaid and creating more problems for the dispossessed and the tax payer.

If the banks and bankers can be helped with tax payers money, why not the "Tax Payers" who are most in need?

With practically no manufacturing base and the finance industry in tatters where does Great Britain go from here?

This is the third time in my life-time a Labour Government has brought Great Britain into a recession , Harold Wilson and the "Pound in your Pocket" Jim Callaghan - "crisis" what Crisis? and now Mr. Brown.

Each time a following Conservative Government has turned things round - will this happen again in our life time?

That is the only glimmer of hope on the horizon - Gordon Brown and a Labour administration will only continue in the same direction if left in control of our finances.

It will take a long long time for Britain to emerge from this financial morass.
