Browns mini Queens speech.

Yesterday at PMQ's Brown announced 23 peices of new legislation, his own personal Queens speech, made by himself! Among his announcements, Brown canceled the super casino for Manchester (what you think of that? - surely a good thing.), he announced plans to build more social housing - surely needed, we can only hope that unlike with similar announcements in 94', 98' and other recent occasions that they will actually stick to their word in building more AFFORDABLE housing, something Brown was vague on, as in he didn't say that the minimum 70,000 affordable houses to prevent meltdown should be built, he merely said more should be built, should he have said more affordable houses specifically? Among this he announced much more. I haven't got enough time right now to go thought them all, but may at a later date if i can be bothered.
