The White Cliffs of Dover

It's a terribly sad thing to see, a country so desperate to sell anything of value in a bid to reduce their crippling debt. But it gets worse. Gordon Brown wants to sell the Port of Dover to the French.

There is so much history associated with Dover, we all remember the famous war song 'There'll be blue skies over, the white cliffs of Dover'. What ever is he thinking?

But the dour Scot is hell bent on halving Britain's deficit in four years and this is just one of the publicly owned assets he's got his eye on for privatization. The rest of Britains major maritime ports were sold off in 1991 but Dover missed out because they were building the Channel tunnel.

It's now up to the people of England to raise merry hell about it and make him find another way to stop the country from going down the plughole.
