Brown 'treating people as fools'

David Cameron has accused Gordon Brown of "treating the British people as fools" in not calling a snap election.

Mr Brown told the BBC he had had a "duty" to consider whether to hold an election, but decided against it so he could show his "vision" for Britain.

But the Tory leader said the PM "was not being straight... everybody knows he is not having an election because there's a danger of him losing it".

Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell accused Mr Brown of a "loss of nerve".

For once the old Etonian multimillionaire cokehead is correct, Gordon Brown's government is telling porkies about why an election hasn't been called.

The election has not been called because Brown's government is afraid to lose and/or changed their minds, but they won't say that in public oh no, so they lie through their teeth so as not to appear weak
