The DR Manifesto...

Manifesto
I'm not standing for office. I'd be a shite politician, partly because I'm unpleasantly honest and partly because I hate wearing suits... If I wasn't, this is what I'd be campaigning on...

The Coronation of King Brown

28th June 2007

The King is Dead, Long Live The King!

On the day that emperor Blair left the halls of power; the sky went dark, birds stopped singing, grown men wept... And nothing bloody changed.
S.Dudicus 11.49am

While it seemed that he'd never, ever, ever, ever leave, Blair eventually finished his looooong goodbye tour, got a job from his mates and quit as an MP. Well, his ego would never have fit on the back-benches - can you imagine it?

So he's off to fix the Middle-East. It makes sense... The only thing he got 'right' as PM (i.e. had a reasonable outcome) was Northern Ireland. If he can do anything - it's talk. The man could talk the arse off a hairy-arsed baboon...

One big plus point about Blair's new job - he'll be out of the UK for large amounts of time so we won't have to listen to his bullshit quite so much... Instead we'll have a whole new load of bullshit - from Gordon Brown. I like to call him 'King Brown' - like one of those really fat poos you do after eating too much haggis...



The 'Listening' PM...

He's going to 'listen to the people'. There will be 'no more sofa-government'. Gordon absolutely hates spin too... So he says.

Yeah, and I'm going to wake up tomorrow a teetotaller...

Up to now, Gordon Brown has been arguably the most secretive, aloof person in the Commons; with a superiority complex the size of a special kind of giant haggis - like you'd make for charity - you know - like really big...

Everyone keeps telling him he's brilliant, and he believes it.



Oooh, Gordons so clever... My Arse!

Gordon Brown has NOT been in any way 'sensible' or 'prudent' with the UK economy - despite what the utterly biased BBC might tell us... He has NOT been a 'steady hand' - it's all smoke and mirrors, and bullshit.

He has financed his mismanagement by increasing public and personal debt, and by manipulating the statistics so things seem better than they are.

The truth is: Gordon Brown has almost single-handedly crippled the UK's economy. It's just that the pensions, the PFI and the other debts haven't quite caught up with us yet... When they do, he'll blame someone else...



Public & Private DEBT :-(

In the 10 years he has been chancellor, public debt (how much the government owes) has rocketed:

(From Daily Mail):
"The Institute for Fiscal Studies revealed that creative accounting by the Treasury has concealed the fact that the Government is dangerously in the red. They said the true scale of public debt is now £1,100 billion, equal to 87 per cent of national wealth - more than twice the level that the Treasury itself regards as 'sustainable'. "


In the 10 years he has been chancellor, personal debt (how much private individuals owe) has also rocketed:

(From Daily Mail) :: "Average personal debt has soared by 50% since 1997 to more than £5,000. The Liberal Democrats said figures from the Office of National Statistics showed people now owed an average of £5,330 in unsecured debt, which excludes mortgages." .



Crazy House Prices - But No Increase In The Inheritance Tax Threshold...

Plus house prices have gone crazy because of 3 factors:

  1. The welfare state paying for 5m people to live in accomodation they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford.
  2. The chronically poor planning system.
  3. Unfettered immigration.

Remember, Gordon Brown was in the cabinet the whole of the last 10 years!



If Gordon Brown is so fucking 'brilliant' how come he has:

  1. Turned the best pension provision in Europe into one of the worst by removing the dividends tax-break. These pensions are now taxed twice. This is why pensions have collapsed in the UK, no other reason.
  2. Refused to pay emergency pensions to most of the people affected by this tax-grab.
  3. Created the idiocy that is tax-credits thus reducing social mobility, encouraging single-parent families, and putting the poorest people into debt by 'overpayments' - which if he was a decent human being - would write off. He has also hired an army of overpaid and essentially useless bureaucrats to administer it, but they're ok - cos they get to retire at 60 on a guaranteed pension
  4. Raised taxes on the poor and middle-classes massively, while providing fewer and fewer services.
  5. Removed house prices and tax from the calculation of interest rates, so inflation seems to be lower. This has allowed artificially cheap lending - which has caused an explosion in personal debt...
  6. Removed to 10% tax rate - thus making the poor much poorer.
  7. Killed the environmentally friendly chip-fat recycling industry by taxing it at the same level as diesel.
  8. Made Tax Impossible To Understand, and presided over a government which in - driving up regulations costs small businesses far more than the big ones, and then they moan about the dominance of big businesses.


What Will He Be Like as PM?...

Unless he fixes all the stuff he's already fucked-up, then I'm not voting for him - ever.

Let's hope he doesn't just keep on fucking things up. It seems likely he'll stay true to form though - I mean - he went off pushing for 90-day detention for terror suspects - and that's a dumb-ass idea and a half!



One Good Point About Gordon...

He kept us out of the poxy Euro.

Well done for that Gordo (Credit where credit's due)!
