This is the worst news I've had all morning. I hope something turns around for England. It would be such a shame to lose this great country.
Lord Mandelson flies back from his Corfu holiday tomorrow to make saving Britain's car industry his top priority as stand-in PM.
The Business Secretary takes over from Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman,who flew to Italy on Thursday for her holiday.
But Lord Mandelson is determined to show he is in charge, with a raft of measures to help the car industry.
He hopes to cement a new deal to save car giant Vauxhall and will reveal details of the huge success of the car scrappage scheme.
Last night, a source close to Lord Mandelson said: "Peter's top priority will be helping the car industry and small businesses emerge from the recession." He will warn potential car buyers that "time is running out" to snap up the £2,000 discounts on offer under the car scrappage scheme.
Under the £300million plan which started in May, the Government and carmakers each give buyers £1,000 off the price of a new motor - provided the buyer trades in a car which is at least 10 years old.
The deal covers 300,000 new cars - with 150,000 already having been sold.

Sure, Britain is being overwhelmed by cocky, self confident and hateful Muslims "demanding respect" as well as committing collective suicide by multicultural insanity, but we all knew that. Nor is it very unique for Britain among European countries to behave in the manner described.
True. But perhaps the difference lies in motivation.

Tories pledge to block law allowing Lord Mandelson to return to Commons
The Conservatives have pledged to try to block a new law that could allow Lord Mandelson to return to the House of Commons and seek the Labour leadership.
Labour, meanwhile, seized on a report that the Tories were actively considering a plan to raise VAT to 20 per cent if they won the election.
The Tories strongly opposed last year Mr Darling’s temporary cut in the rate of VAT from 17.5 per cent to 15 per cent.
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!

So would a revolution help? Despite what the revolutionists claim, no. You change one master for another.
How about becoming a politician and changing it from the inside? It's a possibility, but then you're fighting people who don't want it to change, or to make it better for themselves. Then to get to the top, you need allies who have their own agenda. You've got to keep these allies or they'll pull support from you instantly.

Liberalism glorified individuality, Marxism glorified humanity, but both ignored the people, National Socialism fanatically affirms the people. The first and deepest representatives of the people is that part that feeds people from the riches of the earth and thus provides for the continuation of the family of the nation

Well actually, revolution would work if the leader is good. you say revolution will not work and then you say becoming a politician and getting to the top is too hard.
Well if you become that revolutionary leader then it could work. You would have to closely watch who is supporting the revolution and is trying to push it through incase they have an agenda. Protesting will do nothing unless you reach the whole nation and awaken them.
Britain Prevails!

I know this is a popular opinion, but it is, in my experience, massively untrue. I'm not even sure what it means. I see no evidence of it in day-to-day life. Most of the stories posted on here about this subject are from the Daily Mail, a horrendous torrent of hatred and fear in print form. It amazes me that so many non-british people on here are so untrustworthy of mainstream media, yet swallow up anything they read on the Daily Mail website.
