Seems that Brown is preparing to visit the Queen (no, NOT Sir Elton John - pfftt) to ask for a dissolution of Parliament. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8603591.stm

Is this news that's actually happened, or news that will happen?

Apparently, all systems are go. If he’s just popped round for a cuppa, I’ll be disappointed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8604326.stm

Yes but the Prime Minister pops in to see the Queen at least once a week, to check up on her and to tell her what has been happening, make sure that she has been getting her meals on wheels and let her know what her crappy government has been doing in her name.

I know - the media is making a fuss about this. Cameron is kicking off the Tory’s campaign (eh? I thought they started that in January). Anyway, Brown is back in number 10. Ordering tea chests, I would imagine.

I heard Gordon mention 'another decade' in some capacity earlier and genuinely shuddered

It could be another decade of Labour. Another decade of Gordon will not be popular.

Not if they carry on the same policies, though have the Tories been any better or have any ideas that really help more people than Labour.
