£2.7 billion down the drain

Gordon Brown's £2.7 billion bribe appears to have failed. The News of The World reported yesterday that:

A "poll also reveals almost half of voters think Brown's £2.7billion giveaway this week to compensate for scrapping the 10p tax rate was the RIGHT thing to do—but 59 per cent say it's still a BRIBE.

And an astonishing one in four say it has made them even LESS likely to vote Labour on Thursday.

The poll shows a significant swing among young voters, with 56 per cent of 25-34-year-olds saying it is time for a change and that they will vote Tory in the by-election. Women have also turned against Brown with 54 per cent saying they will vote Tory."

Well done Gordon, you are so incompetent even your bribes fall flat.
