Final evidence the 'Brown Bounce ' is over ?

[youngmafbog]

Latest Mori poll puts the Conservatives 20 points in front, not the biggest lead they have had but definitley growing.

In addition nearly 2/3 are dissatisfied with McBottle (33% were last month).

What will it take to get rid of this sweaty idiot ?

Will he comlpete his scorched earth policy before being forced out. The big loosers will be labour, they will be lucky if they even see a seat for the next 20yrs by the time he has finished. What a nob.

Luxury I remember when I was about 18 thinking communism was the way forward lol

I think anyone with half a brain should be able to understand that all politics is tosh

I find it strange that few have realised that the so-called Brown bounce is based on the market phrase Dead Cat Bounce.

Say no more!!

jimmy, bigdave and others :

What really has p1ssed me off is that you know what you get with the Tories....posh lads in it for what they can get, but New Labour came in on a "whiter than white" logo and they certainly have taught the Tories how deeply you can get your nose in the trough without much effort.

The trouble with the current Government is very simple - a group of power hungry incompetents, led by Blair and Mandelson, hijacked the traditional Labour Party with the promise of Socialism. That they were never interested in anything but their own personal gain was obvious to some of us, but we were in a minority then.

Many in the Labour Party thought that, just like Red Ken did in London back in 1981, that as soon as they got into Government they would oust the upstarts and return to Kinnockism and Footism, policies that lost them four General Elections.

Now we are paying the price - the so-called best ever Chancellor squandered the gold reserves, raided the pension funds, and then claimed it was a world wide problem. If that is the case, then why is the Pound down against most other major currencies, particularly the Euro and even the Dollar?

And now he has the cheek to say that, with his in-depth knowledge of creating crises, he is the best man to get us out of one. Just how much longer can he go on flogging that idea?

Hello ymb
Not too interested in politics (or politicians) but am interested in language, word origins etc., so could you please tell me why you refer to ( I presume) Gordon Brown as Mc Bottle??
