Dead Man Walking

I wonder if any parliamentarian mutters the words “Dead Man Walking” every time they see Gordon Brown walking down the halls of Westminster! I’m guessing it was said many times yesterday as he walked in to the House of Commons ahead of Alistair Darlings very disappointing budget speech that cost everyone even more money.

The Bookies had put odds of 250/1 on the budget that Gordon Brown would kiss Darling after he had completed his Budget Speech – they were right – no kiss was witnessed, but then again I can’t really imagine Brown to be the kissing type. However, if I was a Bookie I would be able to offer odds of 250/1 that Brown would be Prime minister come the next parliament – the man thankfully is now officially Dead Man Walking! The only unfortunate thing about this – his execution probably won’t come until May 2010 – so we are stuck with this sour miscible old man who lies through his teeth again and again and keeps himself surrounded by politicians that President Mugabe could easily relate to if he were in UK politics (Jacqui Smith).

David Cameron once again looked like the leader in waiting when he gave his summary of Darlings Budget and Browns failed Government. If you didn’t catch it – watch it here:



Darling announced an abysmal excuse for a Green Policy in yesterday’s budget that you could scrap your car if it was 10years old or older and get £2000 contribution towards a new car. How can Labour claim to have any green credentials when it’s endorsing a throw away society once again? Cars need not be scrapped once they are 10 years old! With proper maintenance and care a car can last many decades – but Labour is so concerned about saving a French/German/Japanese car industry that it believes it is better to scrap old cars and get new cars back on the road massaging stimulus into the suffering foreign car industry! A shocking Brown/Darling initiative that couldn’t be further away from a Green Environmental move. Where was the spending on Green Initiatives – anything mentioned was feeble and pathetic!

Thank you Brown, you have flushed our Economy down the toilet. Dead Man Walking!
