Does Gordon Brown have the skill to run the UK as brilliantly as our greatest ever PM - Tony Blair?

Answer 1

Look, I have seen some of your other questions and I have come to the conclusion that you clearly ARE serious.

I want to cry.

Answer 2

Doubtful.

Why, I don't suppose there's another person in the world who could defer to President Bush quite so much - "Yo, Blair!"

And could anyone else freeload at the houses of such heavyweight thinkers as Robin Gibbs or Cliff Richard or Silvio Burlusconi with such grace?

I'm not even sure if Brown would have been able to take the country into two unecessary wars at the same time as reducing the army's pay, facilities and general morale.

It's hard to imagine anyone else who could produce one dossier that was written as a student's thesis, another one that was sexed up and where the most important claim was the false one that weaposn could be fired that would kill British citizens within 15 minutes and now, when all these claims have been proved false still insist he was right.

Who else could head the most right wing government in this country's history and still claim to be a socialist with only the very faintest suspicion of a smirk showing?

Would Gordon Brown be able to lie and lie and lie again for years on end, send brave men to die for no other cause but his own misplaced pride, profit shamelessly from his position and allow his wife to do so too - and still claim to be a straightforward sort of guy?

I don't think so

Answer 3

i have self assurance that Tony Blair is a much extra effective decision. #a million) Brown has already reported that the Blair era is over and it truly is time to push it aside and attack the "actual subject matters". #2) Blair change into in no way afraid to do what he suggested he might want to do. After Blair totally recommended Brown, Brown keen to bypass in yet another route. #3) also, we've considered what Blair has performed and may want to do. Brown is merely starting up and that i have self assurance he alot to practice. in all likelihood alot more suitable than he can cope with.

Answer 4

Since career politicians have now taken over, we have men and women in positions of authority who have no real experience at anything.

Gordon Brown is no exception, and neither is Anthony Blair.

The Labour Party have not the slightest chance of winning the next general election, because people know that they have been weak and ineffective. Other than systematically destroying the British way of life, they achieved absolutely nothing, in spite of 2,000 new laws.

Answer 5

You think Blair is better than Churchill, who at one point led the only country in Europe to fight the Axis and won, or Atlee who created the worlds first universal health care policy (NHS)?

Gordon Brown will do fine.

Answer 6

cant remember him having any skills or running the country brilliantly ! browns a real labour man not a tory like blair

Answer 7

I have the skill to run the UK as brilliantly as Tony Blair, so has Jade Goody and at least she's honest.

Answer 8

he could do as well or as badly as Blair as it doesn't take much to have a situation where there are more people on welfare benefits than ever before, the tax burden is greater than ever before, the NHS is in a worse state with longer waiting times, less staff and less resources than ever before, local councils have less money than ever before, the armed services are badly resourced and overstretched in two illegal and unpopular wars, crime is higher than ever before and the educational system is on it's knees. Hard to see how anyone can do any worse than Blair, but Brown must share the blame for the shame that is modern Britain.

Answer 9

Tony Blair the Best ever PM.
Lets look the evidence.

1. Council Tax - don't even bring up the Poll Tax - I amongst many others would be paying far less with the Poll tax, and now the council want to walk around my house and see if I have a conservatory and loft conversion to see if I am eligible to pay for more.
2. Tax by Stealth - Gordon Brown has introduced over 50 taxes (very quietly).
3. War monger Blair - he has sent troops to Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afganistan and Iraq, spent Billions on War which nobody felt would benefit this country, yet let Mugabe get away with Murder. Yet while he sends the Troops away, he does not equip them properly.
4. Millions marched against the war, and even more marched against the hunting act - he ignores his voters and refuses to compromise.
5.The NHS - despite the fact that billions have been invested in the NHS, we now face redundancies and ward closures, which to be fair we did under the tories. So if we are facing redundacies and closures where has this money gone? Squandered the lot of it, on worthless image consultants, computers and yet more managers. What a waste of money - your money, my money! The NHS spent over £250 000 on their Christmas do at the weekend. Thats money well spent in my book, especially when they are closing wards and making staff redundant.
6.Education - Instaed of raising the standards they have instead lowered them and then claimed that the state of the Education system is better because more people are passing. What a load of crap. he also makes students pay for their education (which they never did under the Tories) now leaving students thousands in debt when they leave Uni. Well done Labour. Milk snatcher Thatcher. Alot of you people have selective memories. MIlk from kids or leaving millions of students thousands in debt. I would choose milk form kids any day.
7.Scandels - Cash for Peerages, Cash for Passports, Questions for Cash, Mandelson, Two Jags, Livingstone, Ministers looking for gay sex on Clapham common, Tessa Jowell, it goes on and on. Again the Tories do it and then Labour take it off the scale.
8. Business. More Red Tape, more minimum wages. More people are going out of business since the global recession of the 80's.
9. Asylum and Immigration - I konw lets let in anyone, regardless of who they are, whether they have criminal records or not, whether they are NHS tourists and have diseases such as Hepititas, Aids etc..., jobs, housing. Lets not worry whether we have enough housing for them, or infrastructure and how much it is going to pay Mr and Mrs Taxpayer. Forget the 'lets travel to the nearsest country to claim asylum', lets get some organised crime syndicate to exploit us and get us to the U.K.
10. More stabbings, gun crime, re offenders released early to reoffend, lets not even put burglers and drug dealers inside, because they have had an oppressed child hood and deserve a hug. While we are at it, the drug addicts who are in prison - lets give them £2 or £3k because they have had a hard time doing cold turkey.
11.Multi Cultralism- I am not even going there.
12. British born terroists. Speaks for itself.
13.Human rights, lets give those who commit crimes as much rights as those who have been victims of crime.
14. The police. Spend millions on more officers, who get more and more paper work. ASBO's - don't work - these are now a status symbol. What a waste of resouces and money setting them up.
15.George Bush, well done Tony, keeping following him.
16.Big Brother.
17.Broken the family unit up, leaving kids with no respect for elders and each other. Education starts at home.
18. Sold Britian down the river to Europe.
19.Welfare no work. Work harder those on benefits depend on you!!!
20. Civil Servents earning thousands in pensions which are paid for by the public and now the public cannot afford private
pensions because they are paying for the civil servants.
21. Political Correctness.
22. Spent billions on image consultants and quango's to help British services run better and gets zero results. Can you imagine if The rail and gas and electric services were still run by the Government, we would be paying twice as much now. Thank goodness the poorly run services were sold to try and put some competitiveness back into them
I think not. I can't wait for him to go!!!!!!!

Answer 10

To run it as well as Tony Blair would require no skill at all.

Answer 11

Oh how you all have such short memories! Shall I mention the dark, dark days of Thatcher (aka Satan)?

Give me Blairs Britain any day - we've never had it so good.

In answer to the question - being the greatest Chancellor in history I think qualifies him rather well.
