Oh come on Graham, lets have a bit of sense here. I am not really concerned at the moment with how much or how little central government has showered on the borough over the last few years, that's another discussion for another day.

The issue is Gordon Brown's fitness for the highest office in the land. And whether we can trust someone who can mishandle, mismanage and, frankly, lie to music about his achievements. The more I hear, the less impressed I become - not that I was overly enchanted to begin with. I could not care what previous administrations did or did not do. Blair and Brown formed a government promising the people of this country the highest standards of personal and fiscal probity. And it seems that every day they prove themselves incapable of reaching the standards they themselves set.
