Find myself wondering why Cameron has missed so many 'open goals' left gaping by McBean and all, despite a 16 point lead in the 'polls'. Could it be that 'Call me Dave' has no solutions himself to the current crises and is waiting for New Labour to irrevocably bury itself at the next election some two years hence?

The economy won't be fixed overnight, and like the early 1980's, it's gonna be painful.

NuLiebor are so scared of this blog they are mounting a racist propaganda war against his Irish roots.
Give me half a Guido rather than the infantile snotgobbler destroyer of our country and my pension. The piece of scum and his cohorts really don't give a sh*t about us. At least Dave isn't a raving nonce gay boy.
The posters here have predicted we're all fu***d for a very long time, Guess what? We are! Nonces can't run anything other than there sick fantasies."D" notice my ar**e. The day Brown got power was the day all this nightmare started.

12:39pm

Incidentally my niece also received an invoice when she was born, 1650 Euros.

There is also a charge for the subtly understated privilege of being born in the UK, but it only applies to visa-holding immigrants. I've always wondered what happens if the proud parents do not pay up - does Jacqui Smith come around to the living-room and clamp the kid?

5:37 AM

Somewhat strange that Brown would pile tax onto plastic bags at a time when he'll no doubt require a job-lot for the disposal of heavily soiled nappies. Although, it would be true to say that his outgoings are on us, anyway. Or maybe his aides casually fling the offending items into the back garden at number 10? Heaven knows what monstrous horrors will be found in Gordon's little palace when his 'power' is finally usurped and he is sent to stand in he corner for all time - his decadence will make the Marcos/Ceausescu/Hussein regimes seem but a trifle frivolous.

Why do you think he (Guido) always uses the Irish economy as a beacon of prosperity?

Thank you for pointing out THAT truism. Gosh I must be thick not to have noticed that. Many many thanks for posting. Have printed out your whole comment and will use it later as an ass-wipe.

Please mr troll do try harder.

Guido is an Irish man who lives in Ireland.

Why do you think he always uses the Irish economy as a beacon of prosperity?

Yes Ireland has a low tax economy, but its recent impressive growth came about due to the Irish being in the Euro. Ireland has also received billions in subsidy from the EU.

Yet Guido ( an Irishman in Ireland ) hates the EU and the Euro.

Furthermore Ireland has no NHS, no welfare state, and virtually no credible infrastructure. Its getting better, but with that nasty EU money.

Let me tell you a story about Ireland. ( I go quite often ).

My daughter was sick one night while in Ireland, we called a doc, and he met us at the local hospital at 1:00am. She had a virus, and he prescribed the appropriate medicine. He then wrote out his invoice £60 Euro. I flashed my NHS card, and he said thank you very much and we left with the 60 Eu in OUR pockets..

The next day our niece who lives in Ireland caught the same virus, again the doc was called late at night, same scenario unfolded, except her mother had to part with the 60 Euro.

Incidentally my niece also received an invoice when she was born, 1650 Euros.

So Guido keep on using Ireland as a beacon.

If these 'cartoons' are supposed to stimulate political debate on a Monday morning, they are missing the (Rich and) mark somewhat. Can you not get out of bed a bit earlier on a Monday morning and give us something a litle more engaging?...

I wondered if anyone would pick up on the subtext of Cameron's public breakfast briefing the other day. Didn't expect it would be richandmark. You have restored my faith.

"It will distinguish itself from other state-funded channels by reporting “without fear or favour”, BBC World Service director Nigel Chapman said."

That's a good idea. Do you think they might do that here too at some point?

It is depressing that our country adds more debt each year to its burden, but the silver lining is that with each year that passes, the list of things to be axed to sort things out grows and grows.

We could start with Jonathan Ross and the Arabic channel and take it from there

The BBC Arabic channel cannot broadcast without fear or favour. There is now an agreement among Arab countries that broadcasting licences be withdrawn from satellite broadcasters where channels criticise heads of state, national governments or national policies.

So the BBC may or may not last.

Every cloud has a silver lining:

The son of former deputy prime minister John Prescott has failed to be selected for his father's seat in Hull.

David Prescott lost out to local barrister Karl Turner in a seven-way selection battle.

According to the BBC.

America's fifth largest bank last night became the biggest casualty so far of the global credit crunch - sold off to a rival at a knockdown $2 a share, a discount of 94% on last week when it was valued at $140bn.

USA less than one week to act Uk six months?

The fuckin house is on fire and bruun sits on his horse picking his nose.
