  I rather like Gordon Brown - just because he has so many against him. Yes he has but was it ever really there?
  
  Yes he has lost authority but someone said already this morning - it boils down now to those MoPs - Labour et al - who want to stay as MoPs - are looking to their own best interests allegedly. Before the next general Election.
  
  What touching loyalty and that is just the official Opposition.
  
  One jeerer yesterday of the soon to be departing Home Secretary was identified as a Mister Swain.
  
  Swain? That used to mean.........lol
  
  And Damian Green would be buying a biography or autobiography book - just to look himself up and how he was allegedly badly treated in one matter?
  
  These are NOT people I would want loyalty from, Harriet Oliver.
  
  A lot of MoPs - too many of them are -allegedly arrogant.
  
  They expect to misbehave without censure and as Role Models for the rest of us. Do not make me laugh.

  Apologies Desmond SWAYNE.
  
  I aint heard of him before yesterday but I should get the name right on people I am rude to, Ms Oliver.
  
  S Wayne? Nah. Cannot think of a smart remark that doesn't involve a "Duke" of some sort. So I will pass.

  Has he lost his authority? Yes.
  
  He lost it over a year and a half ago when he dithered about calling a General Election and basically bottled it.
  
  May I respectfully suggest that the format of the phone-in be changed?
  
  Please dont' have four or five callers on at once; it is immensely irritating when even NC can't remember who he's addressing and has to keep asking "who am I talking to? Brian in Burnley? Whitevanman in Wolverhampton?" etc.
  
  Introduce two callers at a time; let them have their say and desist from interrupting continually with asinine comments repeated louder and louder until the unfortunate caller has responded.
  
  Thank you.

  How Blair and his entourage must be rubbing their hands in glee as Browns house of cards collapses around him. For years he plotted to take over and grab our country unelected like being passed a baton in a relay race whilst piling tax after tax on us, well Mr Brown, so ye shall sew so ye shall reap.
  
  The recent mess up over the D day celebrations sum it all up, first we are not going to attend (why not, wheres the respect for all those old soldiers), then he decides to go, good publicity when he is in a tight corner but does not invite the Queen, then we have the incredible spectacle of President O Bama inviting her, I have never seen anything like this before, he is completely unable to understand the electorate and this incompetent bumbling sums him up, time to pack your bags Gordon.
  
  I do not know who I will vote for yet at the next election but I know who I will not be noting for.

  Your first Labour supporter said that it was the Conservatives allows our utilities to be bought out by foreign concerns. That's not true, the utilities were privatised with the Government holding a golden share. It was Gordon Brown who removed the Golden share, it was then that the utilities were bought out by US, French and German concerns.
  
  Your Leicester Councillor said that Gordon Brown brought in City regulation for the first time. That's not true, formal regulation was of the City was brought in during the 'big bang', it was Gordon Brown who changed it to the FSA, that we now see failed.
  
  Your Scottish supporter said that Brown was a man of integrity, well his integrity didn't extend to keeping his word about giving us a referendum . He also said he was a man of the people, well not the English people having signed the claim of right to make Scottish interests paramount.

  That D Day debacle sickens me.
  
  Sarkozy just wanted Obama there to make him (Sarkozy) look good - he's not even invited leaders of other parties in his own country!
  
  Brown wasn't going to go but as soon as he realised that the most popular kid in the class would be attending grovelled to Nickolas and asked for an invitation to go.
  
  Brown and his Govt should have made sure the Queen was invited - Brown didn't want to be upstaged by the Monarch and Sarkozy doesn't want to be upstaged by anyone (except his wannabe pal Barack). It makes me sick.

  Where do you dig those Labour dinosaur callers up from?
  
  The two you've had on this morning made me laugh out loud - what a pair of anachronistic people - the type that would vote for a cockroach if it was sporting a red rosette.
  
  Did you find them in central casting?

  Gordon Brown & his cronies have never looked like they had a grasp of the job. In fact I cannot see how the ex chancellor can say that he didn't see the global recession was coming, yet insist that he's the right man to put it right! What we do here in this little island isn't going to make much difference anyway.
  
  I find myself unable to like the dour Brown who hides his lack of personality behind the cover of pretending to have a deep intellect which he also doesn't really have. He is a ditherer and poor thinker without managerial skills, who has presided over many many poor decisions. He is a deceiver and should go along with all the rest of the crafty greedy useless MPs of all denominations.
  
  I want to see a complete reform or the intervention of the Queen. She should dissolve the Parliament and institute root & branch reforms which should include a proper written constitution.

  I wish all those people who moan that they didn't elect Gordon Brown would remember that John Major wasn't elected either when he took over from Margaret Thatcher - and no one batted an eyelid then. I just wish there had been all this 24 hour news coverage then - with all their sleaze and scandal - the tory government wouldn't have got away with half as much. I don't remember any phone in programs either - and at least Gordon Brown puts himself up for interviews - totally unscripted - and those Number 10 news conferences - which were put in place by the Labour party to make them more accountable. I remember Mrs Thatcher sitting in Number 10 (with a picture of the Queen behind her) giving her not very often interviews - being fed questions that had already been agreed upon - which were just Tory party political broadcasts.
  
  Sure this government has got things wrong - but this country has very short memories when it comes to sleaze and un-accountability!
  
  And just who has David Cameron - who everyone says has been 'so firm' with his party sacked? They are all just 'not standing again'. They haven't had the whip withdrawn or been banned from standing. The only one who had the whip withdrawn - Conway - had it taken away last year and still he is there - drawing his salary and expenses and added to his pension pot !

  Hmm! Should that be an exclamation mark, or a full stop?

  For years he plotted, scheme and dreamed of being PM. He achieved his dream, but has been exposed as a disaster in the role. His legacy will be the personification of the old saying 'be careful what you wish for'.

  Before we consign Brown to history, just ask yourselves where we would all be if Cameron had had his way and not baled out Northern Rock.It would have resulted in a global banking collapse.
  
  The western world would have resembled the third world.
  
  I am not sure Brown has lost his authority, but I am glad he was there when we needed novel and innovative ideas to help avert a catastrophic collapse of the economic system. I did not hear of the opposition shouting for it before he did it, frankly Cameron is lightweight.Remember the mauling David Davies gave him in the live debate they had? Many Tory activists voted for him just because he was Blair like.

  A General Election won't solve anything!
  
  However as most of the callers and pundits your programme put on air are so besotted with the authority and quality of leaders as if they personally exert some profound influence on the system then we might as well have one.
  
  Then at least they'll find out afterwards that who the leader is irrelevent and none of the mainstream political parties present any viable choice in dealing what really is in meltdown and that's capitalism!
