Gordon Brown's Halloween Nightmares

One colleague had suggested that one of our younger members should dress up as Gordon Brown and visit people’s houses tonight frightening them! Thankfully I has the sense to veto that suggestion, but it got me thinking about how Brown’s handling of the economy and now the country has been marked out by many tricks, and very few treats. Here therefore in no particular order here are my dozen Gordon Brown Halloween Nightmares, happy to take any further suggestions:

1. The 75p pension rise.
2. The Iraq War
3. The 10% tax debacle
4. The election that never was
5. The Afghanistan War
6. MPs Gordon Brown’s Expenses
7. Damian McBride and Smeargate
8. Privatisation of the Health Service
9. The lack of equipment for our troops
10. PFI
11. Housing Stock Transfer
12. The ballooning public debt

All in all one long nightmare – how much longer will this last?
