Yep, he had no choice, yep ,he's being sensible (by making the best of the hand he's been dealt), but would dispute the word "honourable" in relation to ANY of the current crop of politicians. But maybe that's just me being too cynical for my own good.

Well I'm not right up-to-date with local happenings cashy but the last I heard Geoff Hindle owned Parkinson's, he used to be a coal merchant, but moved into removals in the seventies, and I know he bought Parkinson's as he used to Park his Vans behind by old fellas place in Monarch Street

Looks like he's on his way:

BBC News - Gordon Brown 'stepping down as Labour leader'

Wynonie Harris · 10-05-2010, 17:54

Not quite yet though, the BBC bloke says it's "an audacious bid by Mr Brown to keep Labour in power - and himself in power for a limited period."

Told you he wouldn't give up the reins of power so easily. He's now played his ace card, cutting the ground from under the boy David's feet. Whatever Clegg thinks, his party will be pushing hard for a Lib/Dem/Lab pact, as they're too far apart ideologoically from the Tories. As I said before, expect a Lab/Lib/Dem government soon.

However, as we speak, Tory bigwig George Osbourne has countered by offering the Lib/Dems a referendum on AV (alternative voting)...no, I don't know what it is either, but it seems pretty important to Cleggy and his mob. Will this swing it for them?

Isn't it a sad reflection on ALL THREE parties that while this squalid political horse trading continues, the public debt is mounting up day by day and the country is drifting unchecked into an ever-deeper crisis?

The Tories supporting voting reform. They must be gambling that any future referendum would result in a no vote.

What is the fuss about? It's all one big cock up, none of them have been proved trustworthy enough for us all to fall into their trap.

We'll be back to the polling station's again soon, so who cares which divvy is in No. 10?
