Labour's Broken Promises

---

Labour has very many failed promises to explain for during its period in office.

Their record over the previous 13 years has various failings underneath the surface of their publicity machine.

Our previous Prime Minister Gordon Brown flew to Portugal to sign the reworked European Union constitutional treaty, but he did not attend the actual signing ceremony for the document, the former Tory leader William Hague quite correctly called a "ridiculous fudge".

When Gordon Brown signed the document he broke a specific pledge stating that he would give the british public a referendum.

In so doing he devalued democracy in the UK.

At the very same time he,of course devalued the trust that voters had in the Labour party.

I guess we all know why Brown did not have a referendum simply because we would have said no.

Yet with in just a few days of the Irish saying no to the Lisbon Treaty Gordon Brown had forced the treaty through the British Parliament.

British Jobs for British workers was a famous phrase of Gordon Brown but he failed as the jobs created went to foreign workers living in Britain.

No one, for one, minute would believe that Labour would put British workers above their European dream.

Looking at his broken promises Brown promised the public that he was the man of prudence the man of no more as he stated "Boom and Bust".

At a stroke he distroyed the British pension industry by stopping pension funds the ability to reclaim tax on their investment income. This hit the ordinary working man as pension funds use re-invested income to grow. To put his interference in perspective it would be like asking some one to work free every fifth year.

Another clever move was when he sold 400 Tonnes of Gold from the British reserves at the lowest market price in over twenty years announcing in advance of the sale and more or less telling the market makers ofthe timing. Talk about being a touch less than careful he depressed the market in to which he was trying to sell.

In these escapades he tried to get the blessing of the Bank of England but this was not forthcoming despite the valliant efforts of two of his greatest henchmen at the time none other than Ed Balls and Ed Milliband the current leader of the Labour party.

I have no doubt that every body accepts that Gordon Brown's latest "Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalisation" is one of the most dull and poorest of the rapid rush of Labour Party memoirs that have been released since the Liberal Conservative Coalition came to power. He is trying to defend Labour's catastrophic loss of economic credibility and fails badly.
