GORDON Brown was hammered last Thursday as we gave him our first verdict on his inept premiership and hated policies.

Does anybody believe he has a mandate to continue in office? Whilst he says he will listen and learn, does anybody think he will cut taxes or restrict immigration? Will he build more prisons or keep his hands off our pensions? Will he end the ludicrous waste of our tax revenue or reduce the numbers on benefits? Will he stop bribing the Scots to remain in the Union with train-loads of English tax revenue?

No, nothing will change. The tax rises will continue, immigration will continue at record levels and criminals will continue to laugh as they leave the courts despite being found guilty. Our economy will continue to fail, he will borrow billions more and then waste it like so many other billions beforehand and millions of us will struggle financially because of it.

He will dither, he will bluster and he will call for unity but the over-riding fact is that his high-taxing policies, when you consider that nobody can point to one aspect of the nation that is doing well despite thousands of billions effectively being thrown down numerous bottomless pits, cannot be maintained when the cost of living is rising so alarmingly. His answer to it all will probably be to increase taxation further!

The man is a dinosaur who cannot change. Labour are doomed, we all know that, but two more years of this man is going to both destroy more of Britain and make Labour unelectable for a decade! He must go now before he utterly destroys the once-great Labour Party.
