Anon – I thin the GB/TB leadership things goes back a long way…. Granita Restaurant in Islington.

I haven’t seen the leaflets yet but I would be surprised if GB wasn’t on it along with a pic of the local candidate etc… Believe it or not there are people who are not embarrassed by GB – yes he’s not a media star the way Blair was but I DO believe he has integrity – Let’s just agree to disagree…..!

Liz – Obsessed with Gordon Brown? Absolutely – the way he bullied people to get rid of Tony Blair was despicable.

I agree with you on the policy differences but the public don’t care – they hate politics.

So back to the question – Gordon Brown on the leaflets or not…

Anon – I am hoping they will be leaflets outlining key policy differences between us and the Tories. You seem rather obsessed with GB – maybe you need to seek help!

Liz – Sounds great.

Will you be taking leaflets round with pictures of Gordon Brown on them or will you be part of the proposed “Let’s airbrush the Prime Minister out of the Labour election literature”.

The fact the Labour campaign is doing that (What a surprise Douglas Alexander is involved) is going to be the biggest attempted con of the British public since Labour’s last one…

So go on Liz – pictures of Gordon or not and please don’t say “I’ll just deliver whatever they give me…”

Anon – a new leader is NOT going to change the scenario/challenge ahead of us – period. What we have to do is (if you don’t want a Conservative Governnment)
to campaign & canvass & for your local Labour councillors & PPCs.

Liz – Stop it! Every time you tow that same government line (you’re right on the spelling – my mistake) you just heighten the chances of losing the election by an even bigger majority.

Like everyone else you cannot justify Gordon Brown over the Labour Party but that is exactly what everyone is doing.

If Brown is in Labour is out and a few months from now I’m going to hate saying “Liz, I told you so” but I will.

John Major called an election when in a similar position and won it. Brown will go down as the worst chancellor in British history and the least popular gutless Prime Minister as well. The fact he wrote a book called Courage is an absolute joke. Some historic legacy that leaves.

Anyone would be better than Brown and like I said (and the Times editorial) if Labour MP’s won’t get rid of him the public will – either way he’s going and everyone reading this post knows it or they’re lying (or Ed Balls).
