Gordon Brown Resignation

[-:Undertaker:-]

I personally think Brown did some good things within his time. I'd like to see how you'd fare governing the country and doing a better job ;P

Well for starters I wouldnt sell tonnes upon tonnes of my countrys gold at dirt-cheap prices and also announce a week before to the markets that I was going to sell thus causing the prices to tumble even further.

What a complete and utter moron Adam Boulton is, what kind of idiotic interviewer would do that? Seriously don't know why he did the election debate.

[Mathew]

I watched the 6 minute version of Adam Boulton's "argument" (before and after) and it was getting quite heated. As an interviewer he should know when to stop and simply explain his thoughts calmly.
I actually commented on his miserable attitude while watching Sky News yesterday at about 5pm.. looks like I turned the TV off too early!

Good, he was crap.

...and I'd like to see what this has to do with me. I'm neither Prime Minister nor a political leader and never will be. I'm not saying Brown is terrible, but it's general consensus that most of Gordon's decisions were received negatively and for good reason.

That seems to be the only reason you hate him. You always state that point, and only that in every thread.

Most of his decisions as PM although he was seen as the architect of the fight against the global recession. In fact he organised the G20 conference. As a Chancellor I believe he will go down in history as one of the best we have had.

I dont hate the man but heres more of it;

• Raided pensions in tax raids which has left a massive pensions blackhole.
• Handed economic powers over to the European Union.
• Did not fund our troops properly which resulted in soldiers dying because of lack of equipment.
• Did not get the banks to lend properly despite spending billions nationalising them.
• Raised taxes which put a damper on the economy throughout the boom period.

Pretty much the views of a certain far right wing party who only managed to get around 1.5% of the population to vote for them. Facts or just the views of a eccentric right winger?

And on Adam Boulton which is being discussed above, that man should be took off the air in breach of impartialy rules. It is very clear he is a Conservative supporter.
