Only a fool would send a letter such as this without having someone check it first.

It seems like a metaphor for everything that's gone wrong with Labour. The moral outrage at yellow streak Brown's gaffe is almost as depressing as yellow streak Brown's wretched attempt at letter writing itself. However, whichever way you slice it, the letter is pretty insulting, purely because he clearly took absolutely zero time or care over it. He might as well have scribbled it on the back of a fag packet. It does seem "hastily scrawled", although I think it admirable that the yellow streak PM bothers to hand write each letter himself; he certainly follows each death. It seems indicative of Britain today- do something in an half-hearted manner, shrug one's shoulders and say "lighten up". None of this, of course, detracts from the questionable motives for having soldiers put in the line of fire to begin with. It might have carried a little more sincerity had it not been for the fact that he wrote a similar letter of condolence to the Chelsea captain John Terry after he'd missed a penalty in the European Cup Final - hardly on a par with laying down your life for your country.
It's also pretty embarrassing that our yellow streak PM can't string a brief letter together without screwing it up (or even do what Thatcher and Blair did when they wrote private hand-written letters to families, they put in a printed copy, a detail yellow streak Brown might adopt.)

It was hardly a 'scathing attack'. Asked if the referee cost him the match he answered that it shouldn't have been a goal.

Don't be to hard on Fergie!
But surely even the most hard line fans can admit that United were the victims of some very poor refereeing decisions:
Rooney onside in the opening minutes running through on goal. The Valencia/Terry penalty decision and the eventual offside goal/lead up to the goal.
On balance however Evans got away with what looked like a bad challenge on Drogba.
Instant video replays are the only way to settle these disputes, however Sir Alex knows as well as anyone that the decision usually goes United's way... so they won't happen.
Obviously if a manager / player relates a true account of a match and has evidence to prove it this is frowned on by the FA. Sorry, the FA are there in the interests of football, closing your eyes to the truth and insisting on other professionals do the same is ludicrous.
Also on a related point, surely the introduction of rugby style timekeeping would be a positive in football. Extra long injury breaks, injury time substitutions and general time wasting is not penalised at all and ruins the flow of a good game.

At last the world seem to have the measure of thistle head Brown

I am already annoyed, and I can see no justification for the fact , that I have to pay a tax on every insurance premium that I pay.

We are taxed on the money we earn, taxed if we save it, taxed if we buy a house with it, taxed if we pass it on to our family after death. Taxed on just about everything.
And now yellow streak Brown wants to tax "financial transactions" - at the moment it seems to be something to "tax the banks" so it could have " popular appeal" - but if it were accepted, make no mistake we would wind up being taxed for having a bank account or each time we use a debit card, or withdraw from an ATM.
What an embarrassment, he's saved the world from overheating, overeating, overspending, crime, insolvency, child abuse, expense scandals, under drinking, over drinking, terrorism, tells other countries that leaders must be elected fairly, knowing about being elected is one of the secrets he's kept from us, keeping your manifesto promises is another of his hidden skills, I bet the rest of the world are envious that we are so lucky to have him as our yellow streak Prime Minister, me personally I cringe every time he opens that stupid mouth of his with another load of rubbish.

Keep them on benefits to ensure that they vote Labour.

Liebore has been accused of relying on the 'welfare vote' after the Conservatives published a provocative league table ranking Commons seats according to the number of benefit claimants. A total of 189 constituencies in the first 200 are represented by Labour MPs, which the Tories claim explains why Ministers are failing to tackle the spiralling welfare bill.
The top constituency is Liverpool Walton, represented by Labour's Peter Kilfoyle, where 28.9 per cent of adults claim benefits. Mr Kilfoyle has been vocal on reform ideas, recently criticising plans to hire multinational companies to run back-to-work schemes.
We have all known all this for some time and it is the only reason why this lot not only came to power but then won two further elections, by relying on the votes of the state handout brigade, who, because they do not work, of course can always go and vote.
This is modern ultra left socialism. Keep them down and dependant on benefits. Destroy the education system so that they don't realise how stupid they really are. Decriminalise drugs therefore allowing this new class of voters to be contented doing nothing.
That's how they stay in power and why under a UK Liebore party or a US Democratic presidency, the economy will never prosper. They need unemployment to be sure people will vote for the party most likely to raise or protect their benefits.
The big bad Tories will threaten to take it all away and make them get a job to afford the same lifestyle so they will vote labour.

He looks like the state he has left the economy in - Totally Knackered.

Yellow streak Brown has been running from the truth and making promises ever since he became a MP, but we are catching up with you and the other crooked MP's. Judgement day is fast approaching. Your epitaph will probably be 'THIS IS THE MAN WHO BROKE OUR COUNTRY"
You'd think with all his experience he'd be a gold medal hope for the next Olympics. Someone point him towards the Channel and tell him to keep running, Brussels is that way and don't bother coming back!

History will not be kind to yellow streak Brown who'll surely go down as the worst, most incompetent PM and Chancellor in history.

"The truth is that yellow streak Gordon Brown is now governing Britain purely for partisan or even personal advantage rather than in the national interest...."
I have no pity for this self deluded bully boy. I feel sorry for us who have to recover from 13 years of the meddling and betrayal and failed social , economic and European policies. Yellow streak Brown is gutless, when things go wrong he hides from the public so he doesn't have to answer awkward questions. He thinks if he disappears he will not be associated with the dirty dead, but he's wrong.
Yellow streak Brown is so taken with his own spin he has, as you say, not a clue as to just how big his defeat will be next year. I am sure he thinks that once the recession ends all will be forgiven. What he forgets is that all the rest of the G7 will have been out of recession for months, showing just how big a lie was his statement that the UK was best placed etc.
The weak, cowardly supine Liebore Party allowed him to walk into Office unopposed and have allowed him to remain in Office - wrecking the country with his asinine policies and contriving to hand-over our Sovereignty to Brussels by breaking a Manifesto Promise and worst of all he reneged on the referendum. I hope the Labour Party is annihilated at the election and never recovers to form a future Government.

Yellow streak Brown should apply his own corruption tests to the houses of parliament .

A surprise sting in the tail in yellow streak Brown's forceful speech this morning making the case yet again for the British presence in Afghanistan. For the first time, he warned bluntly that our troops would not remain there unless the newly "re-elected" Afghan President Hamid Karzai tackles corruption. Yellow streak Brown is trying to get the UK "on his side" so will say anything and do nothing.
What amazes me however is that yellow streak Brown seems totally to miss the irony of his speech. Karzai has at least a mandate of sorts, albeit from a flawed election, Brown has no mandate at all and refuses to allow the electorate to express an opinion at the ballot box. Add to that the allegations he makes of generalised corruption in Afghanistan and then consider our present Government.
A Home Secretary who tried to get a visa fast tracked for the nanny of his girlfriend, another Home Secretary who lied about the location of her primary residence in order to gain a pecuniary advantage. A junior minister who claimed for a mortgage that he had already paid off. Another Home Office Minister who claimed for a house he was not living in but had placed his parents in, not to mention a PM who allegedly claimed for the cleaning of a flat shared by his brother. No, yellow streak Brown don't lecture Karzai until you have cleansed the corruption from your party and offered yourself for election at the ballot box, then point the finger, at the moment stones and glass houses spring to mind.
What is really depressing is that the human race has not yet found a way to resolve conflict other than by sending in troops to start killing each other. Does our race really have any future when we always behave like this ?
If the labour government first headed by Bliar ,and now yellow streak Brown had done their jobs properly we would not be in this futile war, there seems to be a pattern between the way Karzai runs Afghanistan and the way liebore have ruled Britain.
Why didn't you resign Brown? 76,000+ voted for you to go. That's 76,000 more than voted you in. But all we get is an e-mail saying you're to busy saving the Country to resign. Rubbish! Your entire focus is on ruining the UK and making life difficult, if not impossible, for the next government.
