#1 But unpopular income tax reform, rising fuel and food prices, a downturn in the housing market and an image problem led to big losses in local elections...

Hmmm. This list doesn't seem to include the facts that the Brit's are being forced to commit slow national suicide by the tranzi's peddling their multi-culti Kool-Aid and a court system that won't allow even the worst of the worst jihadis to be deported. I hope that the recent results indicate that the population has finally begun to notice.

#2 I still don't understand why, if he seriously damaged Britain's finances as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Brown was given the opportunity to destroy the rest of the country.

It's British politics, TW, and I don't understand it either. Where's BP or Excalibur when you need 'em?

#4 Because Gordo was (& still is) so obsessive, vindictive & generally unpleasant that no one dared oppose him when he stood to replace TB. Lest we forget he was essentially the NuLab Crown Prince as Chancellor & (it seems) many Labour people looked forward to the days when the King o'er the partition wall would move from number 11 to number 10 & usher in a new age of Old Labour-esque socialism (as if!) Hence the excitement over the abolition of the 10% income tax band, which affects many traditional Labour voters.
Things really must be bad for the Psychologically Flawed One if he has to go, cap in hand, to Tone for advice & admit that Blair's concerns about his ability to run Absurdistan were justified. Oh the humiliation :-)

#5 "Tempestuous 10-year relationship wid Brown" > WENT OUT ON DATES TOGETHER???

* NOTE TO BRITS - don't use such sentences when describing between two men regardless of personal or official capacity, and espec when Amers are in the audience = target audience. MISSED THE QUIZ THAT DAY ON GENDER AND CULTURAL MARKETING-PR, DIDN'T WE!
