I applaud you for giving freely of your views but note that both in this post and the one about Val Shawcross the buzz word is ‘integrity’ as if frequent use of the word gives it meaning. Undoubtedly, Gordon Brown quit with dignity.
You also seem to attract a small number of Contrary Marys, if I can put it like that. Nevertheless, CMs serve a useful purpose.
Incidentally, if NHSDirect is to be replaced by a cut-price version whose fault is that?? And how will the call centre staff have access to millions of patient records??

Gordon Brown a man of integrity? He broke the promise about a referendum on the Lisbon Constitution.
He spent his time in the government being little more than a pawn of the EUSSR. He never gave himself any opportunity to exercise any of the traits of good character such as integrity.
At his funeral when someone gives his EUlogy they should say, if they have any integrity, that he was EUseless.

While I have never fully agreed with Gordon’s economic philosophy, and indeed his tendency as a non-economist not to see the wood for the trees, you are right to focus on his [relative] integrity.

The cuts policies of the government are partly based on dogma, and partly by Clegg’s thoroughly non- and anti-Keynesian view that the plight of Greece++ necessitate cuts.

In this light all highlighting of false economies is a welcome must.

I note that recently that the Other Taxpayers’ Alliance ( http://www.taxpayersalliance.org/ ) have lauched the following website… http://falseeconomy.org.uk/ .
