This is surely entirely political. Brown believes that he can pull a fast one on Cameron by siding with Thatcher. There are many disillusioned Tories who don't like Cameron's policies. Brown wants them to vote for him at the next General Election, and he doesn't care how far to the right he has to go to stay in power.

 

The political parties used to be arranged from left to right:

 

Labour > Liberal > Conservative

 

Now it seems to be:

 

Liberal Democrat > Conservative > New Labour

 

Bizarre!

 

surely die-hard lifelong LABOUR supporters should mean more to this silly man than floating Tory voters? The Labour vote in Wales has crumbled..... I, for one, will never, ever vote for this party again. Especially when it's run by an untrustworthy, slobbering, dribbling, devious idiot like Gordon Brown.

:lol: :lol:

 

Surely a contender for "Post of the Week"....

 

It aint just Wales where the Labour vote crumbled mate, look what happened in the recent Scottish Parliament elections..... A VERY bloody nose for "Nu Labor" that was.... And still they aint learning from that result..... Does Brown honestly believe that he'll recapture the grass roots Labour support by honouring a rightly hated and despised political figure like Thatcher...??

 

The man is an idiot... Woe betide him the next time he goes back to his constituency... Rotten eggs, fruit and flour bombs will be awaiting him..... :lol:

you pay far too much attention to his appearance m8 :), i couldnt care less what he looks like, but i regarded him highly as a political heavyweight as chancellor ... who was the most successful chancelor for many many years...
