The Brown Year* - Day 1

Newly appointed and undoubtedly jubilant Prime Minister Gordon Brown is to have a super secret meeting with advisers today to discuss how to restore trust to politics. I have a few suggestions:
1) Begin the process of withdrawing British forces from Iraq and apologise to the Iraqi people and to the British people for the illegal invasion.

2) See to it that a meaningful investigation is conducted into possible corrupt practices relating to BAE Systems arms deals with Saudi Arabia. Prosecute both BAE officials and Saudi officials if, or more likely when, illegalities are discovered.

3) NO MORE FUCKING SPIN, OK?

4) Pursue the development of a cogent and written Constitution for the United Kingdom including specific delineation of the rights of citizens and the responsibilities of government.

5) Re-nationalise the railroads.
There is an awful lot more but these would be a good start.

6) Start the process of nuclear disarmament.

*Note: the singularity attached to "year" in the post title is not, I repeat not, a typographical error!
