Dear Gordon Brown, sorry for the recent break in the blogs. I know you enjoy being Prime Minister of England but I think you should resign our to patriotic duty. You had to jettison your really big pal Damian McBride and you might have to let go your old mucker Alistair Darling. Having to release Pakistani nationals after you described them as participating in a major terrorist plot seems to show that you have forgotten the first rules of dealing with the police and with the Home Office (Jacqui Smith!!). Namely, be very careful because of their stunning incompetence.
I am sure MPs such as Frank Field and the Milibands are sharpening their knives. Even Alan Johnson must think that he can't be any worse than you as a prime minister.
Do you want to give them the credit, just resign. Quite a few of the Labour Party think you are off your head anyway. Gordon, you have gone global but you have forgotten to go local. There was a BBC news clip this week about the dreadful situation in Merthyr. I thought New Labour was going to sort this out. You have managed to abandon your party's heartlands.
Gordon, you have killed the economic goose of England. We could never afford Scotland and Wales (never mind Northern Ireland, perhaps the most subsidised place in the world) even in the good times. So those future public expenditure cuts might mean Trident. However, more likely they will be the much vaunted Scottish university financing system and the massive local councils in Wales. These areas could easily be
pruned.
So to conclude, dear Gordon, you had your chance. Your unique selling point was that you were going to run the economy so competently so that there would be no problem in financing extra expenditure on schools and hospitals (all those PFI hospitals in
Merseyside!!) Now, to keep the show on the road you are expecting Johnny Foreigner to buy shed loads of gilts. Dream on!!
