I’m feeling very wary of what’s about to happen in England. Tony Blair’s just announced that he will not be Prime Minister for only a matter of weeks. The problem is that Gordon Brown is probably going to be the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.
I truly believe that Britain’s base for it’s economic and military power is the union. If Scotland, Wales and England no longer stay as the United Kingdom, it won’t be long before the entire house falls down. The union is the foundation. Gordon Brown is a Scot. I believe that in their hearts the majority of Scots are nationalists and want independence. That’s why I doubt Gordon Brown’s loyalty to the United Kingdom. I think he’s using a similar tactic to what Hitler did (with very different aims though).
It seems or feels like to me that Gordon Brown has weathered and taken the bashings that come from being number two… bided his time whilst gaining popular support, and quietly maneuvering into position to take the top job once the leader is gone. I believe that once he’s in power he’ll slowly but surely pass, put forward, and veto legislation in favour of Scotland’s gradual independence.
If it were up to me, I’d bring in legislation before Blair leaves enshrining the union into British law, backed up by military force if independence were ever declared by Scotland or Wales.
One thing that will make me very angry indeed is if Gordon Brown makes moves to pull the British military out of Afghanistan and Iraq before stability is achieved. I’m not feeling very happy about the fact that Gordon Brown might be the next top dog.
Maybe the Conservatives should be put back in power. Can you imagine how the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan would be handled of Iron Maggie were back in power? Apart from the fact that the bitch stole my milk whilst I was in primary school, I do applaud her decision to fight the Falklands War.
