Okay, the next question . . DO Zarnu have anyone who would, or could be a World Class politician?? I don't see one, do you??

Let's have a general election so another bunch of fuckwits get into power.

Zarnu are soiled goods now, no matter what they do or say, they get a kicking . . lets face it, if one of the others get power, they couldn't do any worse!!

Don't EVER say that!

Oh yes they could. There is only one thing we can all be certain of: Every government will be worse than the last.

I forget who said it, : 'The problem with a parliamentary democracy is that eventually we get governed by people inferior to ourselves'

The current lobby fodder, of whatever colour are political careerists. Many of the newer crop have little or no experience of life beyond university, then party politcs of one form or another. Some now even bypass the usual route of council chamber graft and hot air, and simply go to the big house straight after uni. They have nothing in common with any of us. Electing the blue lot rather than the red or yellow lot will not make one iota of difference because they have much more in common with themselves than they do with anyone else in this country.

It will have zero effect. Just like 99% of all other e-petitions. Do you really think he give two hoots what we think? No, not until the election is looming.

But Goron the moron does give a hoot, he'll be hating the petition, it'll be eating away at him.

Given Brown's (and his staff) understanding of technology (recent emails from Number 10, the YouTube appearance, polices around data security, et al), I doubt that this even blips on the radar for Brown. Perhaps within the inner circle there are those that "know" of the 44k signatures, but the chances of them having the nuts to tell Brown and explain to him in small words what it all means - questionable. :D

That YouTube Â*grinning death's head is now a worldwide comic hit, while in the flesh the man looks more battered and hunted with each passing day. He suffers from tone Â*deafness to everything."

"Maybe Brown only regrets the loss of Damian McBride, his toxic confidant – not a one-off, but one of a thuggish tribe. How far has Labour lost touch with reality when leading figures try to shoehorn a party apparatchik's 22-year-old daughter into a safe seat? Rottenness easily feels terminal."

"Brown won't go without assassination, Johnson is no killer (which is what makes him so nice), and many fear the bloody process would cost Labour its last shreds of credibility. Dire June may yet change that calculation: 100 extra Labour MPs fearing for their seats can concentrate minds wonderfully."

This is the bit I like from her:

"Â*Meanwhile that 50p top tax rate hangs in the air as a political mystery without a strong redistributive narrative, unpegged to helping those in most need".

That is because it was all done for show - there is no"redistributive narrative". A Socialist Robin Hood didn't exist and if he did he would have stolen from the the rich, the well-off, the not -so-well off and the poor and sqaundered the money on senseless sh1te such as Quangos, Special Advisors and Depratmental targets including wimmin, inclusiveness, LGTG targets and a host of other right on PC drivel.

And heaven help the Copper who is actually a thief taker.

Even Toynbee has spotted the game is up.

Et tu Pollyanna?

Get real mate
Do you honestly think that the Boss-Eyed Bell-End has got the time (or indeed the inclination) to worry about e-petitions? Economy that he crafted fast going down the s**tter, his own Comrades clamouring for his job, and his current bezzer being Mandelson??????

I agree totally with the sentiments posted above - these petitions were started yrs ago (under tw@t Bliar I think) in order to give Wayne and Waynetta on the street the impression that they could communicate with Governement instantly, and that the idiots in same Govt a/ cared about and b/ would act upon their concerns.

Another example of an "Eye-catching initiative" with about as much substance behind it as a f***ing chocolate eclair
