Question

Why is Gordon Brown running scarred of the energy companies?

Answer 1

Our energy companies were sold off to foreign investors years ago, so there is little saddo GB can do about it.

GB runs scared of nothing, his future is already assured, a lifetime on the gravy train that is the EU, so until he is either pushed or jumps he will sit tight.  

Answer 2

Come in number ten - Your time is up.  

Answer 3

Money - all the taxes they have taken and continue to take from their profits and sales.

Answer 4

His is like Blair. Alas Blair did too much sucking whilst at number ten, so Little Gordon has nothing left.

Answer 5

Gordon Brown and his costalot UK.gov are staring at the empty UK coffers and wondering how they're ever going to fill them back up again after years of profligate waste and spend politics.

"Hello PM, I've got this spiffing wheeze Idea, let's put up taxes on all fuels so what we can rake in the wonga before anyone finds out how much we've squandered on our c**p ideas."

The UK.gov are in the business of squeezing tax from the people and one sure fire way of doing this is to tax everything to the hilt.

Always remember this little story.

In the Victorian era, our most famous PM, Benjamin Disraeli MP., once said, "everything is taxable".

Bear that in mind when you vote because no matter who you vote for, they want to tax you until . . . .well, enough said.

Answer 6

Because they will move to Europe and we will lose the tax revenue.

Answer 7

He will soon be out of a job so he has to keep them sweet as he will be offered loadsamoney to join boards etc. Just like his old sidekick  Tony BLiar.

Answer 8

Gordon Brown was a useless chancellor...and an even worse PM.

He running scared of his own shadow

Answer 9

Hello from the UK.

At the moment, I think Gordon Brown is running scared from just about everyone - especially his own back-benchers!

I liked him a lot when he was Chancellor of the Excehquer, but I'm afraid he was not cut out to be Prime Minister. He is a good man but too timid and indecisive to be a good PM and I fear his days are numbered.
