The Brown era.
Having nothing prepared I have decided to look at the news headlines in the Guardian unlimited and add a comment or two about Brown and his vision.
Yesterday in parliament Wednesday 4th July 2007
Browns constitutional changes.
In his first Commons statement Gordon Brown has proposed to “surrender or limit” his war-making powers.
(Trevor’s Comment) Excellent but too late for those in Iraq and for those of us here in the UK who are now seeing the resultant acts against our nation.
Mr Brown is also talking about a Bill of Rights setting out people’s rights and responsibilities.
(Trevor’s Comment) Will this be possible with the EU deciding on what we can say and do printed in directives after directives? And is it not time people took responsibility for their own actions instead of going down the path of blaming others and does Mr Brown accept some of the responsibility in the Iraq War!
On tackling the public feeling of disengagement with politics the government will consider lowering the voting age and allowing weekend voting in elections.
(Trevor’s Comment) I think more needs be done if he wishes to win the trust of the British people like telling the people the truth about the EU, IRAQ, and why all parties including this one wishes to invest in Nuclear Power. My colleagues here tell me it is cheaper I believe it’s more about maintaining the power in the hands of the suppliers. I guess that makes me a heretic.
Finally David Cameron, said there was a need for “real and lasting change” and “The country is too centralised, parliament is too weak, ministers don’t get straight answers and people feel shut out of decision-making.”
(Trevor’s Comment) I honestly don’t believe this man has anything genuine to offer Britain and I think if an election was held tomorrow he would only win on the fact people are sick of Labour and not because he has any merit to bring to the political table.
If people what change the choices are clear UKIP and freedom or the Lib Lab Con handover of power.
