Brown's beliefs!

I have just listened to a recording of an interview by Premier Radio, with the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. (You may listen, too, at http://www.premier.org.uk/). I was moved to add a comment to those already on the website, and am happy to share it with anyone who logs on to this blog. It will, of course, make much more sense to those who listen to the interview!!

"Like so many of our modern politicians, our current PM appears never to have been involved in real life - a real job that doesn't depend on 'spin'! Interesting that when asked about the Alastair Campbell statement that "We don't do God", he referred only to his 'values'. As has been said,he appears to have no idea as to what a true disciple of Jesus really is. He doesn't agree with the privatisation of religion - but won't discuss his personal standpoint! I wonder, too, if the Archbishop of York agrees that he is one of GB's best friends?

The young lady sounds as if she is a lovely person - Mr Brown needed to be interviewed by someone who would ask the awkward questions about broken promises (Lisbon Treaty); sending our young soldiers to die in Afghanistan in order that the people there might have the opportunity to vote, while refusing to go to the country and allow the people of this nation to have their say; MPs who have defrauded the taxpayer being allowed to remain in Parliament so that they can receive gold-plated pensions, and hefty 'golden handshakes'; etc., etc.

How will many of us remember him? Not as J.K.Rowling apparently will, but as the man whose economic policies have taken this nation into a recession that effects the voters much more than any politician; who has allowed bankers to make millions, while holding the Old Age Pension at a ridiculously low level (so much for the dignity of the aged, to which he refers); and one of the worst PMs that we have ever had.

Nick is right - Mr Brown is merely trying to garner some votes for one of the most discredited governments in the history of our nation. I can only hope, and pray, that believers are not conned by this epitome of hypocrisy."
