Gordon Brown’s got a question for you

I’ve just re-read this Q&A that the Independent conducted with Gordon Brown on 27 June, 2007.  One of our Dear Leader’s responses jumped out at me.  Here it is, with the question that prompted it:

How will life be different under a Brown government? JOHN BROOKS, by email

I will let you answer that question in a year’s time. I hope you’ll say you feel safer on the streets and more prosperous, more confident in your local schools and hospitals, and you’ll have a bit more trust in the political system. Generally, I hope you’ll say you think the Government’s on your side and listening to you.

Well, it’s over a year later now.  So I guess Brown wants to hear responses to that question – how is life different under a Brown government?  Any answers, CoffeeHousers?
