gordon is a bad piece of advice. -- let gordon b. gordon is a bad piece of advice. >> i found it so inauthentic. and you have the formulaic sleeves rolled out. it was very staged. i actually think that off intensity over cameron will help. one word that was used was the granite versus plastic. that plastic is a word -- >> by think that gordon brown has the potential advantage but has not proven much since he has been prime minister. he will struggle on the campaign trail. whenever anybody -- >> he will struggle on the campaign trail. >> i think this could be played up to his advantage. after a while, -- >> starting on a box -- >> it is a scratch the surface problem. scratch the surface and there is a real problem there. what rouses out is the homophobia and the racism. that is his big problem. what we saw today was the beginning of a big argument from gordon brown about over the next two or three years, who would want five more years of gordon brown? we are at a very fragile time with big challenges and you want somebody who is serio

i am like david cameron and gordon brown. we can do it if we leave. >> question becomes from stillwater and from bristol's coming year >> thank you are given our involvement in afghanistan, if there's another multinational operation to remove al qaeda or military as group from a failed state, would the u.k. participate? >> so, will the u.k. take part in future multinational operations against terrorists abroad? nick clegg. >> really, the principle of the reason why we went to an afghanistan and supported the mission in afghanistan to make a legal invasion in iraq is to keep us safe, not to sort of curse to democracy in afghanistan. it's because we believe that if you allow afghanistan to be a haven of extremism and terrorism, there will be more terrorist attacks here in britain. so from that principle, if we need to do that again we should. the problem of course is that we've done it in a manner where we don't pursue the strategy, don't have the right equipment for troops. coming up operant and afghanistan. we work properly w

and gordon brown and labor stopped that. and nick clegg and the democrats didn't vote with us to get the referendum. we didn't have one. people feel cheated. what i would do if i was your prime minister is pass a law through parliament that says if ever there is a future occasion when laws are being proposed to pass power from westminster to brussels, there would be a guarantee of a referendum held in our country. send us to parliament to make decisions, make laws, discuss the issues, yet you don't send us to give powers that belong to you. there should be a referendum guarantee if this ever happens again. >> it was the conservative party that gave it cast iron guarantee to have a referendum that it promptly dropped. we need a referendum the next time we have a transfer of powers. but it needs to be on the fundamental issue. do we stay in or do we go out? you have a right to make that choice in a referendum. i argue we stay in. not because it is perfect, but it is in our interest to do so. let me give you a concrete example.

gordon brown. >> i do seem to be right. david did not mention free eye tests. >> well let me do it right now. we'll keep them. let me challenge you. will you now withdraw the leaflets -- will you withdraw the leaflets that are going out round the country saying that the conservatives would take away things like the free bus pass? you know, you really should be ashamed of doing things like that. >> david, i have not authorized any leaflets like that. what i would ask to you say is why is it not in your manifesto that you're keeping free eye tests and free prescription charges. to nick, i would say, if you're cutting the winter fuel allowance, that means that some people will suffer this year. we've already said that all pensioners over 60, all households, will get 250 pounds as the winter fuel allowance and 400 pounds if you're over 80. that's an innovation be brought in during the period of the labour government. i would not like to see it cut in one of the most difficult years for pensioners when we're just coming out of r

says nick agrees with gordon and nick says nick doesn't agree with gordon. let me try and find something we're all agreed on that we could change, it would make a difference. i think it is time that when an mp breaks the rules, that those constituents should be able to throw that member of parliament out of parliament without having to wait for a general election. i think we all agree about that -- >> i've just said that. >> and whoever wins the next election, we can put that in place straightaway. >> let me clarify precisely that assertion. the claim is that we are all agreed upon that point. mr. brown? >> the right of recall, yes. but i want a more fundamental reform. i want an mp to be elected with more than 50% of the vote, and i want a house of lords that is not hereditary but elected on a proportional representation list system. that's what we want to put to a referendum next year. >> i'm absolutely dismayed by this. this is something i actually put forward in the house of commons. we already could have had that law, people already could have had the r

we have a tax system -- >> gordon brown. gordon brown. >> back to the question robert put, that the pct, the health authority, was finding it very difficult because of the situation at the moment. take thousands of millions out of the economy now, take 6 billion pounds out of the economy now, and think of the risk to jobs and businesses. i say to the conservatives, of course we want efficiency savings and of course we want to deal with waste, but we cannot afford to see private investment so small and then public investment cut at this time and lots of jobs put at risk. >> david cameron. >> please tell us you won't do that. >> 6 billion pounds is one out of every 100 pounds the government spends. what small business in this recession, what big business hasn't had to make that sort of decision? many people are making a much bigger decision. turn it round the other way and think about it like this. gordon is effectively saying, "i want to go on wasting money now so i put up your taxes later." why should we pay our taxes for go

gordon brown has talked about various bodies. david cameron says he will try to make things work, and he is making ludicrous claims it's the world and is. the world will not end. this is to provide the good government, the sound government, that you deserve. do not allow everything constantly to be hijacked. >> well, i want the parties to work together. i invited people who are businessmen and women to work with us for national benefit, and i will continue to ask people to give their talents to public service, and that is something that is really important to do. i think korea got to resolve this. taking the economy through one the most difficult financial crises. we made the right decision to take ownership of the banks and the right decisions to get the world together. every time we have said we need to support the economy through difficult times. now, what david said, even when it is fragile, he once for ideological reasons, i think, we did this puts policemen and thousands of jobs at risk -- this puts policemen and others at

gordon brown announced an acquiree into the right mission.t as the number of troops in iraq to minutes, the number of troops in afghanistan were rising. the original nation-building role has changed. military personnel were constantly at risk from roadside bombs and that told british lives lost rose sharply. gordon brown address the comments after attracted loss from our forces last summer. >> i think is right to pay respects, are full respects, to the members of our armed forces who have given their lives on behalf of our country in afghanistan. this is a solemn moment for this house and our country. it is a day in which we put on record in the house of commons our gratitude and our commemoration of the sacrifice made by 37 of our armed forces serving our country in afghanistan. from the royal marines, a surgeon. from the light dragoons, from the set that will take -- from the second royal regiment -- >> the prime minister's questions haven't always been successful time for gordon brown. facing barbe gibes is different from presenting budget

gordon liddy. i just think gordon has got the screws all confused in his brain and just never seemed to, you know, he's just totally misguided in trying to sell the half-baked approaches he believed should be permissible, and they're all beyond the law, you know? you just don't -- the law is irrelevant. and i just don't think you can be -- or the fact that you should remain silent after you make a mistake. i don't think the code of the mafia should be the norm for white house aides. so i just have, you know, i could go through a whole litany of activities where i just think liddy, as evidenced some signs of a very distorted, if not evil personality. >> host: and you filed a lawsuit against him. >> guest: oh, yes. but that's another story. let me, relate me -- where were we on the other one? >> host: had nixon served two full terms, how would the world look differently? >> guest: how different would it have been. well, there's no question that the biggest thing that got set aside that nixon was work

>> gordon brown. >> you know, i've heard the concerns around the country. i've been listening to people. i know people feel there are pressures because of immigration. that's why we want to control and manage immigration. and i when i became prime minister, i did a number of things. first, i introduced a points system so no unskilled worker from outside the european union can come to britain now. i also said that jobs had to be advertised in jobcenters where there were skills that there were shortages of that we needed people in this country. i then said we're going to look at all the range of occupations where people come from abroad. i talked to a chef the other day who was training. i said in future, when we do it, there'll be no chefs allowed in from outside the european union. then i talked to some care assistants -- no care assistants come in from outside the european union. we are a tolerant, we are a diverse country, but the controls on migration that i'm introducing and i will see go further are the right controls, the right policy for britain. >>
