Has Gordon Brown been punished for being a Scot?

This is a question which is making me uncomfortable and every day tabloids especially and broadsheets generally are accusing him for everything which is happening in this country.
Why the destiny of this great country being decided by hateful, vengeful papers like daily mail and in the case of Ken Livingston, Express which called him anti-Semitic and constructed a web of lies to make sure that general public becomes blinded by their campaign of hate.
Coming back to the question of Gordon Brown, he has been accused of changing his mind on the 10p tax issue but at the same time Tony Blair was accused of not listening on many issues. Electorate cannot have it both ways; either you want to have a prime minister who listens or someone who does not.
I believe that Tories are not yet ready for the business of government not at least until they put there policies in front of the electorate and then let them decide.

There is another factor at play as well and that is of fatigue. In most western democracies 10 to 12 years is the longest a political party gets to rule no matter what brilliance they show economically or in any other fields.

My point is that if this government has to go then it should go for right reasons and not for thinly veiled attempts to dislodge an MP whose constituency happens to be in Scotland. That will only flame the separatist mood in Edinburgh which is neither good for Scotland nor England.

SNP will use any hint of bias to make their case for independence and Scottish and English histories are so intrinsically interwoven that a divorce will be painful at best and disastrous at worse for the inter ethnic relationship in both England and Scotland.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo
