It all seems to be going wrong for Labour especially since Gordon Brown took over. However even before he took over we had “problems” such as spending something like £750m on the Millennium Dome and the whole Iraq war thing.
Now there is all sorts of problem. (I know its not all down to the government):
Fuel prices: The fuel prices seem to go up everyday. The price of normal unleaded where I live is about £1.14. One year ago it was about 95p. Thats almost a 20p increase! (I think the average is abit more).
Losing confidential information: It seems to happen every month now where someone leaves some laptop on a train or loses some CD in the post.
Olympics: Its all good that London got the Olympics and I am sure it will be a good event but the costs (like the Dome) have spiralled out of control. Latest I heard the costs have increased by £100m to something like £550m. Its still 4 years to go so goodness knows how much it will finally cost
Inflation: It was on the news recently that the rate of inflation will go up to 4% (the government target is 2%). Goodness knows what the interest rates will do – the Bank of England I think have said they will just wait and see what happens before doing anything.
Congestion charge in Manchester: Just another tax for car drivers…. (Its not as bad as I previously thought it would be as it would be only at “rush” hours). The congestion charge will consist of 2 different rings. Each time you pass them you will be charged. It does however seem to extend out quite far from the centre to areas where the “new-improved” public transport system wont reach. We will see….
There are a few other reason but I just cant think right now. Let me know if I have missed anything..
Also he is rather dull!!! LOL (This is all just my opinion!! You can vote for whoever you want – whenever the General Election is).
How big headed is he!! )
Holland beat France 4-1 with another great attacking performance. France were not as bad as they were against Romania.
