Controversial BeliefsSome mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

Gordon BrownWas a good PM.
He kept Britain out of the Euro, resisted Blair's most Thatcherite policies, and was open to dialogue with more left wing elements of the Labour Party. Where it all went wrong was a Global Financial Crisis. The reason it was worse in Britain was a string of decisions going back to Thatcher which had meant we leaned more and more heavily on the financial sector above all else. He bears some blame, but he's hardly the main culprit.
And that old woman was a bigot.

1) There wasn't a Global Financial Crisis - the BRICS (amongst others) avoided it.2) Brown was ideally placed to reverse Thatcherite economic policy - he did the opposite, and was deluded enough to claim "no return to boom and bust".
3) Manufacturing under Labour declined more sharply than under the Tories, which as you almost realise meant they relied on shady financial services and PFI to fund their overspend. Our bloody Grandchildren will be paying for all those shiny new schools and hospitals.
4) If your definition of "bigot" includes people showing concern over unemployment and immigration, then you're quite clearly on the bigoted spectrum yourself.

Not really controversialMore unpopular. The fact that Ed Balls is still shadow chancellor means anyone with half a brain and a functioning memory will think twice about voting Labour next time, which is a shame IMO.
