Gordon Brown Meme............

Sorry to Duncan Borrowman for the huge delay in replying to this........had to check with Colin Ross what I was supposed to do if I was tagged.........(!!!) but here we go, better late than never, and of course I may well change my mind by tomorrow......


2 things Gordon Brown should be proud of

• Being Scottish
• Er.........being Scottish (sorry that's a hard one to find anything he's actually done to be proud of)

2 things he should apologise for

• Not standing up to Blair over Iraq
• cynically cutting the 10p rate of income tax - robbing poor Peter to pay rich Paul

2 things that he should do immediately when he becomes PM

• Withdraw from Iraq
• Abolish all attempts at 90 day detention

2 things he should do while he is PM

• Abolish all targets and replace with frameworks which empower local decision making - trust professionals to do the jobs they were trained to do - and liberate children from the stress of constant testing
• Redirect funding from punitive criminalisation of children and young people and invest in youth services
