A Tsunami of Gush

Brown is now travelling by Government car to The Palace to tender his resignation (does he have to come back by non-governmental taxi?). He made his public resignation speech before setting off. Did he have to go on and on about his deep love for his wife and children before giving those wonderful words "Thankyou and goodbye". Perhaps he did. Anyway, goodbye.

I think he was right to mention those closest to him and reminds us that there are sometimes more important things in life irrespective of our views of him and the job he has done. I respect that decision
and I am sure he will have realised there is more to life than politics and an indication that he will have a career change.

Yeh - and a gold plated pension!

In 2012 will we be allowing third place athletes the decision on who gets the gold medal?

[Colwyn]

In athletics you have to cross the line to win. Its no good in 100 metres race saying I got to 90 metres before I fell over and you only got to 75 metres so - really - I won the 100 metres race. Nobody gets a medal.

I notice today the figures for unemployment have been released and they are up with youth unemployment highest since records began, funny that they are released a few days after the election. Brown the great chancellor who sold our gold at the bottom of the market,which effected the pounds value hence the record petrol prices the only thing he did which saved this country money was to shut the door after he left number ten.

Let's see what know how and experience George Osborne has to give to the financial well being of our country. His degree in Modern History should help with balancing the books I'm sure. To see them all today - Cameron, Clegg, Hague, Osborne - they are like the higher level people that get sent over from head office that none of us know what they actually do. But they want to be seen to have a laugh as much as the next man - and do, but it's obvious they haven't a bloody clue what the joke is

And Gordon Brown's Phd was in....[?]

Gordon Brown was an MP when Osborne was 12. Our fragile economy has been passed into the hands of a fast tracked hooray henry who has experience of...nothing? Like I say, let's see how his experience helps him pull us out of this World crisis

I take it that'll be after he digs us out of the bloody great hole that Brown has got us into and if being older is a qualification then I should be PM

Coalition, seeing Clegg and Cameron standing next to each other outside No10 I was struck by how similar they were in appearance.

Well at least he won't have much gold to flog off at rock bottom prices. Brown managed that all by himself - with his wonderful experience of the financial markets.
