Who do you trust?
The Guardian: The chancellors debate: Pay voters the respect of an honest discussion
The would-be chancellors are asking for trust. That requires honesty about difficulties ahead, but it also demands imagination and a sense of moral urgency.

Gordon Brown, Alister Darling, Lord Mandleson and so on, are far too low on the Scale of Emotional and Psychological Health to ever be trusted.

Honesty would be political suicide for the first to try it - people don't want to know the truth, and the opposing party would make propaganda hay. We all want to keep hold of our own personal stashes (the electorate as a whole - not the deities blogging on here, of course) and have ‘others’ pay the cost of making good the mess we’re in.
Even St Vincent of Twickenham has avoided costing his ideas, and thats with him having not a snowball’s chance of ever being in real power.

Osborne and Cameron have made the mistake of saying hard times are before us. It seems the British people can't cope with the idea of a bit of realism and austerity hence they now trust Brown with the economy instead. the Conservatives have walked head-long into the trap set by Labour and the lesson for all politicians now is don't tell the truth, it's electoral suicide - a big lesson learned the hard way for the opposition.

The dictator: Gordon Brown has by himself and: Via his domineered subordinates has over the years reduced the electorate down to a sense of worthlessness and apathy.
New Labour have succeeded in taking away not only our Country's pride but even our dignity.
His arrogance of no more BOOMs or BUSTs; The Incompetent GOD of economics that sold our gold, stolen from our pensions, stolen from our children’s future, placing them in debt to buy votes, by destroying our country’s economic base by building his GREAT BOOM at the expense of us going into debt and dragging our sovereignty into the largest debt of all time.
Within 2-3 years from now, the general public will be in debt by £1.6 trillion and the government by £1.4 Trillion. The £-Sterling will fall to $1.00 to EU 0.82 for each £1.00. Interest rates will be running at greater than 10%. There will be now way to even meet the interest payments. Petrol, diesel, gas, electricity, food, mortgages will all be too expensive for the average common man. House prices will crash.
TRUST, it is not trust that we need, it is a MAN with a big RED pen to strike out, line by line, every line of the government’s current expenditures and money wasting programs.
It is Gordon Brown that feels worthless, is worthless and projects his deficiencies on to us. He is in need of
urgent medical attention and should, for the sake of our UK be relieved from his office.
