HAVE YOUR SAY

SHOULD BROWN END HIS DITHERING?

Should Gordon Brown be taking action?

Tuesday October 7,2008

A RALLYING call for emergency action to save the country from a slump rang out across Britain last night.

As shares suffered the biggest one-day collapse in history, Gordon Brown and Chancellor Alistair Darling faced a growing chorus of demands to end their dithering.

Critics united to urge the Government to step in at last, guarantee savings and shore up failing banks.

Intense pressure was also mounting for interest rates to be slashed by at least two per cent to revive the economy.

The bold call to arms was sounded after £93billion was wiped off shares on the London Stock Exchange.

So have you had enough of dithering Brown?

Should the Government guarantee our savings?

Is Labour doing enough in these times of panic?

END HIS DITHERING?

17.10.08, 11:43am

Who said Gordon Brown or any of his collegues for that matter are dithering? People who dither generally acknowledge the issue in question then follow this up with excuses as to why they have been dithering. I mean, have you heard Gordon Brown ever acknowledge that we have an immigration problem for example? and that this is without doubt a massive drain on public services? Our government are not dithering, they are simply the same arrogant lot who still refuse to listen to the people of Britain and are pursuing their own agenda which is lining their own pockets as much as they can before their time runs out.

SHOULD BROWN END HIS DITHERING

Mr Brown has clearly got a very difficult job on his hands and I do not envy him. However I strongly believe there is a way to ease the financial pressures on this country...Mr Brown needs to stop being afraid to put a halt on mass immigration. For several years now the financial burden had increased as more and more immigrants flood into the country...many with huge families in tow, little spoken English and the need for immediate housing, benefits, health care and education. Is it racist to tell the truth? The truth is we need to stop the flow of immigrants. Surely we have enough people on benefits already...and the burden gets bigger every day. with unemployment on the rise we can't even excuse the tide of immigration by saying we need the labour...we clearly don't.

ACTUALLY THATS WHAT MAKES A GOOD DEBATE...

If people were to think only one way on numerous subjects what a boring world this would be....as long as nothing offensive is said a good healthy debate is very good for the soul......we each of us have our standpoints and that has to be respected, however the minute lines are crossed that is a different matter.

I do respect you and cockles. I enjoy a stimulating argument if it's constructive and brings out some either buried or inhibited notions. Things did get a little het, but we're all grown up aint us? Have a good night, and later on in the week we'll trade our similar and disimilar viewpoints.
