Gordan Brown Caring Politician or Out of touch?

I believe Brown to be sincere in his beliefs. They showed footage of him as a student when he did the interview with Piers Morgan and he was into eradicating poverty then, so it's not as though it's something he says just to get ahead. I suspect you wouldn't see anything like that from Cameron in his Eton days. As for some of the things said against Brown by a certain person, I will answer them.

Brown has already said that he never refused anything he was asked for as far as Iraq was concerned, it's therefore not Browns fault if equipment that was needed was not asked for.

Now for the NHS

Labour’s record

* 89,000 more nurses and 44,000 more doctors in the NHS since 1997 have helped to drive up standards and drive down waits.

* Waiting lists have fallen by over 500,000 and waiting times are now at their lowest level since records began.

* In 1997 284 000 patients waited more than 6 months for an operation. The figure today is almost zero.

* 3 million more operations are carried out each year than in 1997.

* The premature mortality rate for cancer is the lowest ever recorded, saving nearly 9,000 lives in 2006 compared to 1996.

* Premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases has dropped by more than 40 per cent since 1996, saving nearly 34,000 lives a year.

* The NHS has delivered the largest hospital building programme in its history, with 118 new hospital schemes opened and a further 18 under construction.

* Created new services to provide patients with greater convenience including around 100 new walk-in centres and over 750 one-stop primary care centre.

As for the minimum wage, there wouldn't have been one if it wasn't for Labour, the Tories opposed it.

As for giving asylum seekers homes, the government doesn't give anyone homes, that's done by local councils.

As for typing 20,000 more words, I expect you could, but it would probably be just as much rubbish as you have typed already.

gordon brown cut funding to our troops let there families starve and took back much needed equipment

He is so out of touch with reality, it's unbelievable. When gold was at an all time low he decided to sell our gold reserves - how in touch with affairs was that? That money would be helping us out of recession now! He really hasn't a clue.

Gordon Brown cut Defence spending whilst our troops were engaged in two wars.

Gordon doesn't care at all, hence the reason why he compulsively lies all the time.

I thought your Avatar is a good likeness to Gordon Brown. There is your answer.

If he was honest he'd say he cares about presentation, his words being proven right and his poll rating.
