Death of a Star!

Over the years, we have been treated to some wonderfull sights.
We have also seen our fair share of horror too!
We have had good and bad times,,,,and times of complete indifference.
The same can be said for our political world.
we have all heard about Thathchers fall from grace,,
we all remember the Callagan years,,,
some of us even remember the Wilson years.
but now its different.
Now, we can see the fall from grace in real time and we dont have to be told stories about it like the old days.
We are seeing a once great star allmost ready to explode into infinity.
Most people who are likely to read this blog should be able to remember the last labour government and its fall from grace,,, and also the rise to power of Thathchers government, and its long reighn of power over this beautifull country of ours.
Then, from nowhere, along comes a new rose, a new reason to be proud, a new labour party with the emphasis on "new".
Centre stage then for Mr Blair.
All around him his allies.
A whole new approach to government, with a strong leader, and masses of willing loyal foot soldiers.
Swiftly into power with a landslide victory.
Swiftly out of office with heavy losses goes the Conservative party.
It was just that simple.
On with the show then, and Mr Blair leads with a firm hand and soon we are back on course for everything to be just right with a view to being even better that that!
For a while all goes smoothly, then iraq rears its head.
Not being a prime minister to run scared, Blair sends in the boys.
Flak comes from all quarters to protest at his decision.
Not even phased by that Blair effectively sticks up 2 fingers to the lot of them and tells them he believes its the right course of action.
Mostly, people do aggree with him, me included, but those who didnt aggree got more media coverage.
Blair didnt falter, not once.
He had strength at the forefront of his reasons,,, terrorism must not beat us.
Anyway, a few years down the line, another election win, and more flak from the media regarding iraq.
Again, Blair didnt falter.
In all the right quarters of the public opinion he was 100% in the right.
He was everything the people of this country voted into power.
Although the rot had set in between him and a few others in his cabinet, he plowed on and did what was right for this country.
Budgets were working and his ministers were behind him.
But then, something went wrong,,, one of his own people said he should resign office and pass command down to brown.
Personally, i thought that it would be a mistake for him to do that, and it would seem that i am not alone in those thoughts.
No way could brown do what Blair did.
He couldnt even come close.
Pressure mounted and eventually he did announce the date for his step down.
We all knew it was his biggest mistake.
Brown was best at being chancellor,, being P.M would be the downfall of not just him but the labour party too!
The step down and handover took place and things went downhill from there.
Budgets were weak and failed.
The P.M was weak and he was failing too.
The death of the Labour party star was in full flight,, nothing would stop it now.
All that could possibly happen would be for Brown to help it along to its final spark.
And he certainly did that.
10p tax, Car tax, Benefits being withdrawn from 100% genuine claimants, need i go on?
Strikes, more strikes, stabbings, rising crime rates, rising food prices, rising oil prices,,,,
Its a living record of how NOT to run a government.
i am just an ordinary person, i am not in government, i am a full time carer.
But, logic tells me that if he were to remove 30 pence from a litre of petrol, he would probably rake in MORE tax from it because we would use more of it.
Same with cigarettes, reduce the tax and we will buy more.
Personally, i buy my tobacco from the back of a lorry!
£5 for a 2 ounce pack?
or £12 for the same but with tax on it?
I will take the £5 one please!
Whichever way you look at it, this labour government is dead in the water!
Every day brings a new foe for Brown.
Every day he puts his foot in it again!
New Labour is about to be Old dead and buried labour!
Blink and you will miss it!
Blink if you dare!!

let me end with a few stories that were easily found on google,,, both current and both a pain in Browns arse!


Glasgow East could be Part Two of Labour's demise http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/07/05/do0510.xml

and this one,,,

blair would have had this fucker shot by now!
S.A.S would have been ordered in and an execution would have taken place.
Power for the people would have been restored and help would be available from around the world.
instead, mugabe rules with a violent fist, and his motto?
"death to all who opose me!"
Dammit all to hell,,, he should die for what he has done!
Mugabe has pushed it too far now, and soon he might be a little frightened by Browns (empty) threats,,,, i just dont understand why Brown is getting involved, he is too weak to do anything about it!
