Gordon Brown Sucks. Fact
Gordown Brown has not had a fine week. The debacle that is the 10p tax bruhaha could've been handled far more efficiently.
Why couldn't GB stand up in Parliament and admit the abolition of the bottom rate of income tax was wrong but, as it's on statute, we've got to apply it. To overcome the problems that those people who will be affected will have we'll use the heating allowance/credit/etc systems to give them money back. Oh and because to put the 10p band back in will cause no end of distress and problems to these people, we'll carry on with this from now on.
I think the issue isn't just the application of the 10p tax band removal, it's the way Brown spun - something he promised his Government wouldn't do.
