Too little, too late!

Should Gordon Brown have acted sooner to prevent the cloud volcanic dust from smothering the UK?

[sara3]

what were his options?

[razza]

Definitely,if he had put a tax on it it would have been a no show.

I don't know about you but my car is covered with fine wirery strands and dust that resemble fibre glass. It wasn't there this morning. They said there is no need to panic. If this is what we can expect then you can see quite a few people visiting the doctors with chest complaints such as bronchitus or emphysema. I'd advise anyone not to take deep breaths whilst outside.

another let down from GB, I supposed the dust cloud will get a 4 bed council house and benefits by monday :S

[Kromovaracun]

Brown is an insult to our political forefathers.

We all know that back in the old days, Churchill would have unflinchingly swallowed the cloud whole with his enormous mouth and blasted it right at the moon. Those wishy-washy lefties are nothing.

For years clouds of Ash have been coming into this country in the back of lorries via the channel tunnel. The Government did nothing, and now we are swamped.

[chrissa1]

Can nobody put a lid on it? We put a man on the moon!!

[Quizmonster]

I blame him for the mutiny on the Bounty and the fall of Singapore, too!

[modeller]

I blame it on the excess hot air from politicians at the moment it is upsetting the wind systems .

[joko]

its funny sometimes when people damand the government step in and solve any problems - regardless of how irrational and impossible it is.

I saw a woman in the new moaning, furious that the airports werent flying, and demanding to know why thye hadnt 'fixed' it and what did she pay good money for etc etc, planning to complain etc etc...when told it was no-ones fault and couldnt be helped she just seemed to want blood...ridiculous.

[kinell]

it has certainly hurt his target for asylum seekers arriving at uk airports

one little volcano can upset all that social engineering

[sherminator]

If only he hadn't sold the gold reserves! all of this could have been avoided!

[brionon]

Let the Aussies win it !

[anotheoldgit]

Well he once boasted that "we have saved the world".

So I see no reason to doubt, that he may also be able to control this volcanic cloud.
