Up Brown Creek

This week Gordon Brown has been slated for his reported bullying of aides and those close to him. He has bullied them in order to get what he wants in an aggressive way, although this has not been proven I can say accurately from experience that this is true.

I myself, as well as many of the people around me in my life have been bullied by Gordon Brown, and we can all vouch for the fact that he is a malicious, vindictive and bitter man. He has ruined my life, he has made me almost unemployable. I am not the only one, in fact there are millions of others in the UK at the moment who have the same feeling.

He may not have sprayed saliva into my face as he was shouting at me, he may not have got me in a headlock and given me a noogie, he may not have flushed my head in a toilet. He has literally stolen my lunch money, all 20,000 pounds worth of it.

Gordon Brown and his administration have slipped the proverbial rohypnol into the drink of the student population, and seemingly without us knowing it taken advantage of a helpless semi-concious undergraduate generation.

The first of his and Blair's crimes came with the introduction of university fees in the first place, something that Labour gave us very early on in their then fledgling monopoly over the UK political scene. Two months after their election they decided to implement tuition fees after the Dearing enquiry results were published (an enquiry commissioned by Mr Grey himself John Major). This was a move described by the, probably drunk but always loveable, Charles Kennedy as 'One of the most pernicious political acts that has taken place.' This came from a government that later promised to get 50% of their youth into university education. Am I the only person to see this as the Labour government grabbing our ankles holding us upside down and shaking until they have everything we own and we are left red faced on the floor?

Next came the top-up fees, yet another student favourite. This came only three years after we re-elected these vagabonds back to lead our country with the promise that they would not introduce top up fees. They decided to leave this one particularly ambiguous so that they could not be totally blamed. Universities can now set their own tuition fees, with a cap of £3,000. How many universities actually charge less than £3,000 per year? None that I have ever heard of. After all its the equivalent of a Sainsbury's basic ball of mozzarella, it tastes the same as most other mozarellas but you can't trust it because it costs less.

However I think that the worst thing that he has done is fucked up our futures. Staring at an entourage with half the emails saying 'sorry we had over 4,000 applicants for 2 places' is an indictment to how bad things are for us. Not only are we paying £20,000 for a degree, but much like opening an account with Northern Rock, it would appear that my money is now worthless.

As Gordon Brown would have now had to pay well over £40,000 for his level of post A level education, but at the time paid nothing is an indictment to how out of touch this government is.
