Dear Gordon (2)

Well, for a while there, I thought you were going somewhere. You dealt with the worldwide aspects of the credit crunch admirably. But why, oh why, did you go and get all political again? Your last budget (I know you’ll say it was Alistair’s but it was you really wasn’t it?!) was entirely political. You abandoned long held New Labour policies and went vote catching.

Not that you caught any. Want to talk about the European election results? Thought not.

You allowed the other parties to outflank you on the expenses scandal, despite the fact it’s the Tories that have the moats and the duck islands. You played politics in your own cabinet, never actually saying you wanted rid of someone, but just failing to support them. Even your own Chancellor- and you know how hard that job is!

I work in the pensions industry. You’ve managed to mess that up good and proper haven’t you? (Even losing your pensions minister in the process). All those well thought out, long term reforms that you and Tony pushed through, abandoned for a few cheap votes at the next election so you can be seen to be bashing the rich. It’s the whole pensions system you’ve bashed.

Looks like my first letter to you was pretty accurate after all. (Well, I know it’s a blog and you’ll never read it, let alone pay any attention to the issues even if you did read it, but you know what I mean).

Not sure I can bring myself to vote Tory, but, sorry Gordon, spare us the agony of a dying government over the next year or so. Election time please.

KingsGate and the BBC

A big thank you to BBC1 for showing our church live on Sunday (if you missed it, it's on Iplayer at the moment- called 'That's the Spirit'.)

But what is even better is the reaction of Chris Moyles today on Radio 1. This is what he said about the programme:

'I've been to gigs with less atmosphere- it was amazing.'

'It was very uplifting.'

'I want to go!'

He said on air that he was brought up a catholic but that this was something completely different. He was particularly taken with the live baptisms we did.

Thanks to Ben Griffiths for putting the link up to Chris Moyles comments. Here it is:
