LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES!


Just had the misfortune to catch McBroons party political broadcast, on behalf of the McBroon party (its all about Him these days,) in the form of an interview on BBCs Politics Show. If I didn't know We were in trouble before I certainly do now. It was an absolute nightmare to watch. Brown sat and chanted His mantra blundering through any attempt to answer a question, if the interviewer got a question in He was met with a non-answer. Most of these were references to the 1990s recession, and 15 and 18% interest rates (mentioned at least 5 times.) I can not remember paying such a rate , I would have lost My home if I had I am sure, I can remember tat wih hard work and a little austerity I survived quite easily. I have no such confidence now. Also He lost no opportunity to remind us that problems were global (lost count,) no use to the people whose problems are very local. McBroon was quite extraordinary, He seems to have not the slightest idea what is going on around Him. He speaks of People building up assets during the boom in addition to their houses, that will get them through, and lower interest rates ( forgetting the higher capital on many houses set against plummeting house prices,) than the 15% and 18% interests He clings desperately to repeating them over and over. He hasn't worked out that people have already lost their jobs, are already having their houses reposessed, will not be there to help out with His future tax rises. His bail-out of the banks has failed, the banks have cut and run with the money. All of this was punctuated with wierd and inaprpriate grins. I fear the man is blissfully unaware of the depth of the problems in front of Him. Someone needs to wake up to this, someone needs to tell Him that things are already bad, someone needs to tell Him that people are already in defensive mode, that they are not about to start spending money just because He wants them to.


We can't continue anymore to pretend that He has the answers. Its time to stand up when He lies, stand up when He bullies, stand up when He makes statements that He can't back up. This concerns everybody, left, right, Labour, Tory, Lib Dem. Its beyond party politics now, its much more serious than that, the future of the country is at stake, do not leave it in this mans hands.
