What do Gordon Brown and Nadine Dorries have in common?
So, Gordon Brown has taken heed of my rants and launched an Obama style website to focus on jobs – Real Help Now, launched today. More seriously, while this is a positive step, it would help if we also had a serious and thought-out stimulus plan. And I cannot reiterate enough that the messages from this government on the economy have been rubbish. They should stop talking about banks and focus only on two messages: creating jobs, and exposing the fact that the Tories have no plan. Right now,
Saying that, the website is awfully cluttered; aren’t there any good design bods at the government?
And guess who else has been taking tips from Obama? Yes, Nadine Dorries MP, who has written an ecstatic article for her local paper telling us how she marshalled her troops online, Obama style, and stopped the government from building housing!! So now you can not only blame her for jumping on the bandwagon, but also the for the lack of housing across the UK.

creating jobs,
How , by launching a web site ?
There is only one plan that will work and that is to cut public spending and cut taxes . Neither Party has the balls to give people the bad news but theyr already know and they are , quite obviously , not interested in the window dressing . I have never been much a free market sort of Conservative but I belive a turn right into low tax territory now would finish the twitching corpse of Labour maybe be forever .
I hope to see the Green Party rallying around Dorries…
It is things like this that cause me to sound like an urban chauvanist. Somehow, villagers and the inhabitants of small towns have convinced us that – as the population continues to grow – they have an inalienable right to be surrounded by roving fields. Not only this. THey have convicned us that this particular local privelege is in fact a great national interest.
In this sense I do not deny it was a people’s victory. It was a victory a whole load of people who prefer to live in sparsely populated community, at the expense of a whole load of other people who could quite use affordable housing.
