If an opposition MP had made this statement, Jackboot Jacqui and her cohorts would have him or her whisked out of Westminster faster than you could say "Damian Green".

This is incitement to riot.

- Nobby Clark, Perth, Scotland

After my last comment and browns attitude to the ghurkas and the armed forces in afagnistan. put my name down for the 1st riot as long as its at jaki jackboots smith at redditch. then work our way via all the other fat cat mps and finish off at broons place . and as this goverment is supposed to now want all our emails saved for a year,.this email will be used to send me to a gulag.

- Mikeee, peterborough uk

I urge people to use the levers of Democracy they have to hand. Write, email phone or visit your MP and demand we leave the EU and stop giving money to the banks.

- Peter, Camberley UK

Spend more money to pay for your mistakes, Hazel? Not when we can vote you out.

- Hatchet, Newcastle, Australia

I know the government would rather people like myself shut our mouths but as I said many times: We had an NDC in Lewisham, Newcross, its called New Deal for Communities, it was a £45 million grant. What has it achieved? Nothing! Is it perhaps time that the government (locally and nationally)stopped interfering in the voluntary sector and stop trying to second on to the voluntary sector their staff that they are trying to get rid of? Because the way I feel right about now is if I ever see another Council salaried staff with the title of community development officer trying to make a name for themselves by pinching project ideas then failing to deliver them as they dont have a clue, thereby climbing on the career ladder by treading on the vulnerable or the poor, Im gonna scream.
And if I see another so called regeneration consultant or have another of those stupid Mori surveys, or other propoganda dropped through my door, I will riot. So I think its about time that this government took their SRB or NDC or Neighbourhood renewal or whatever they want to call it under the banner of regeneration- posing as voluntary sector and stick it up their individual over sized noses.

When they swept in to power in 97 many had high hopes but on many fronts they have come up short. They just seem to just score own goals constantly. As bad as the government pre 97 but with more more lost potential. Change is in the air.

- Tony ,Essex, Harlow,UK

...the recession could act as a "catalyst for communities to come together," or lead "citizens to discover new reserves of courage and kindness"

That, madam, would come from a populace with high morale despite the hardships. Your crowd has done a number on morale across the board. I'm not big on making biblical quotes, but try this one on for size - "You reap what you sow".

- Rogan, Irving

This stupid woman should be charged with incitement to cause riot!

- Scotty, Cambridge UK

Another loada Bleary.... Dreary tripe from a pint sized incompetent Government minister who hasn't the faintest idea what she is doing or saying. Still nothing different there

- Strongbow Sullivan, Paris,France

Dear Hazel,
If your part was for democracy and freedoms there would be no need to revolt as we would have all been part of the process.

Your party has an interpretation of government that is not compatible with a free society.

When the people are allowed to participate they start to contribute. Labour is so paranoid about control, their control, their right to rule by decree - that they have nothing in common with the citizens of this country.

- Ian, Reading, England

"measure the return on social investment" ? ? ?

If ever there was a reason to riot on the streets it is to put an end to the money wasted on this kind of gobbledeegook.

What an utter shower of a government that hinks we actually pay attention this this claptrap

- Robin, London

How this useless 'apporth in charge of anything more important than the Cabinet stationery cupboard is beyond me. She'll be shelling out our hard-earned taxes to minority groups and fringe nutters like it was their equivalent of Christmas.

- Squiz, Islington

Platitudinous claptrap.

And where exactly will the money come from?

She is, incidentally, a proponent of the Orwellian state, having voted for introducing government registers (Stasi Files?) on everyone in Britain backed up by ID cards.

- John, Dorset, UK

Blears makes me cringe. During PMQ she is seen wriggling on her seat and constantly leaning sideways in her efforts to be "in the frame". I am surprised she hasn't asked Hatty Harman to swop seats with her and then she would be in every "shot".

- R.F., Yorks, UK

If people do snap out of their lethargy and/or pig flu symptoms enough to riot, then I can only hope they have the forethought to do so directly outside the homes of the likes of Blears, Harmon, Brown, etc.

- Sarah Bradshaw, Enfield, Middx

actually Hazel Blears is more likely to cause riots every time she opens her mouth

- John Graham, london UK

Is this woman serious...she says financial institutions should plough some of their profits into the community....they're the ones responsible for all of this and the government is bailing them out....what is she on.

- Rosie, watford

What a positive, cheery lady she is!

- Matthew, london

Running scared are you Blears?
The best thing that could happen right now is if you Liebore lot fled the country, take all your loony liberal scum with you, and never again disgrace this land with your lies, incompetence, greed and delusions.

- Ralph, London GB

".. fund community projects .."?

Here we go again, more money for the minorities. An obvious and crass attempt to buy votes.

Women her age, hormone imbalance, yah da yah. Been here so many times before.

- Frank, Home Counties, England.

If there is a riot can I be the one who strings up this ludicrous banal and moronic woman with her dyed hair?

- Kedge, marlboro wilts

It almost makes me weep, get them out, how can they keep fronting up with such rubbish.

Their incompetance knows no bounds or shame in what they have done to the UK.

- Anthony, dorset

But recession could alternatively act as a "catalyst for communities to come together", bringing neighbours closer and leading "citizens to discover new reserves of courage and kindness".

Jesus wept how naive are these people?

They need to be removed from office, Cromwell style. I dont think i can handle another year of their dreamworld politics

- Lb, London

The pattern has become tired and predictable: "the world is about to end -- unless you give me money so I can save you". Gordon Brown invented the tune and now every second-rate minister and former minister in the country is singing it.

- Bloke, London

We could fund inner city regeneration; from MPs expense accounts.

- Mickyinlondon, london

It is Blears, MISS PIGGY SMIFF, Jackboot Straw, Balls, Cooper, Blunkett, Gormless Brown and other unemployables who have reduced the way of life in the UK similar to that in a deep cesspit.

Every time these muppets open their big mouth you just know that what they are spouting is merly a diversion from the crunch news of the day.

Yesterday Gormless Brown stated that the UK was well prepared for the present swine flu epidemic. Today the headlines are blaring out that pharmacists do not have access to any medication to counter the illness.

Ah! Gormless Brown now intends to waste MORE taxpayer's cash by printing leaflets and delivering them to every address in the UK regarding swine flu.

WE ARE NOT STUPID BLEARS. WE ARE NOT STUPID BROWN.

STOP TREATING JOE PUBLIC AS CHILDREN.

STOP MAKING PEEPS IN THE UK LIVE IN FEAR ALL THE WHILE.

This Government will get its just desserts.

Every dog has its day.

- Reuben Camara, Morecambe UK

Anyone who thinks that the recession could act as a "catalyst for communities to come together," or lead "citizens to discover new reserves of courage and kindness" needs certifying.

It's almost terrifying that we have this sort of drivel eminating from a government minister at this time.

This is why Hazel Blears, in a cabinet not short of competitors, is truly "never knowingly out-dafted."

- David, Doha Qatar

What an astonishingly niave thing for her to say. The idea that in the midst of a recession the Government should suddenly understand that the voluntary sector has a valid place in society is utter madness.

Where were they when Britian was allegedly booming? Constraining small voluntary groups with inecessent nonsense in the name of Health and Safety. The fact is they believe in having full control centrally and throwing scraps to those groups that play a vital part in plugging the gaps between what the Government shoudl provide and what they actually do provide.

Hazel Blears is clueless when it comes to building communities and the voluntary sector.

- Ian Gilbertson, Newcastle

If there are riots on the street they will be as a result of the lying, thieving labour politicians who have plundered tax payers' money to fund lavish lifestyles, second and third homes, patio heaters, antique fireplaces, kitchen sinks, bath plugs, plasma TVs, washing machines, pornographic films, etc, etc, etc. The aforementioned are going to cause rioting in the streets.

- R.F., Yorks, UK

"Ms Blears will say the economic downturn could either drive communities apart or bring them closer together".
This one sentence sums up the complete lack of talent and ability that rots at the core of the political system and demonstrates that Blears is completely unsuited to a role in government. Whatever next? She'll state that tomorrow it may rain or be sunny, that people might be happy or sad and that if you show yourself to be a complete idiot you may, or may not, be shown the door by the voters. Time to cry, or smile?

- Bobby Smith, surrey

Hazel is quite right, but any amount of he so called "civil disorder," is unlikely to do as much damage to society that has occurred through the greed of the few that the many now have to pay for: she should remember this and serve her public by requesting it gets active to ensure it receives due justice from the criminal financial institutions that has saddled our children with untold future economic problems, rather than enter into this scaremongering to save a few pet projects to garner a bit more patronage. Get real or get out Hazel - you are quite useless.

- Rob, London

The country will descend in getting rid of this government - the things that come out of the government recently demonstrated our disappointment and frustration of the government. We are not listening to you, you are out of touch with the general public. It would be better if you just shut up say nothing and do nothing because anything you do is a big mistake and disappointment. The best thing you can do is to dissolve the government and call for an early election.

- Max, Twickenham

Hazel Blears has to be an alient right? She really isn't of this planet.

- Goggs, London

Like many of the wimin elevated by PC worshippers Bliar and Incapability Brown, this one doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. What twaddle she talks!

- A. Cameron, Liege, Belgium

more rubbish from the waste of space party

- Edriordan, wisbech

The country is already at boiling point with this government, so shut the hell up. More harm done when you open your big mouth.

- K Lee, Cheshunt, UK

I share Bliars' fear of rioting in the streets, but it will not be caused by the credit crunch. The crunch will simply be the catalyst that starts the backlash against Britain-hating Soviet Labour, as a result of the indigenous population finally waking up to the deliberate and serious damage that they have inflicted upon this nation in the last 11 years:
Political sleaze on a scale never before encountered. The cancer of political correctness.
The utopian myth of multiculturism (introduced to dilute our culture and damage our national identity for the purpose of quashing cohesive resistance to NuLiebour's Orwellian social engineering projects and ever deepening EU integration).
Left-liberal apologist dismantling of the criminal justice system, concentrating more on the rights of offenders than victims.
Punitive and vindictive taxation and profligate spending.
Unfettered immigration, exacerbating unemployment and housing shortages.
A burgeoning and unaffordable welfare state and massive increase in public sector jobs, all designed to increase Soviet Labour's share of the vote.
Ever increasing government intrusion and attempted micro-management of every aspect of our daily lives.
Wholesale sellout to the EU, with a reneged upon promise of a vote on the Lisbon Constitutional Treaty.
Lie after lie after lie........ THAT will be the cause of any popular uprising, and that is the fault of Bliar, Brown, Mandlieson, Harpy, Bliars, Man of Straw, Captain Darling et al.

- Keith Lonsdale, Doncaster

Another Labour female stating the obvious, pity she and rest of her party have caused the mess we are in. Just counting the days left for current Gov. for the end must be in sight now

- Mike, London England

Nothing like stating the obvious, trying to instill some more fear when people are unsettled, then coming up with a brilliant new strategy to tackle this supposed 'new problem'.
This government has been in office for a long time now, spending lots of our money on new initiatives every few weeks and what has changed in 12 years..... we've got less money and more economic, social and structural problems.
Lets have an election and let the nation decide how they want the country run, not this unelected idiot of a Prime Minister!

- Carl, London

steve, as usuall,its the majority that get punished. surley it would be better to ensure the criminal system works . ie the smash and grab bandits on too days front page. out after 2 years of a 4 year sentence.build the prisons,keep the prisoners in for the given time,stop being wishy washey with sentencing.and start to stop the corruption in goverment.

- Mikeee, peterborough uk

Right the Crunch. Not the idiots in power then who have beggered the country whilst enriching themselves at our expense oh no. Them we love right?

They clots in power just don't get it ...even now do they.

Only Keith from Luton loves Brown these days and I wonder if he's wobbling a bit.

- Ethan, UK

Almost correct, but what I think she meant was "current government may lead to riots on the street"

- Marianne, SW France

Another load of rubbish from a deluded, incompetent NuLiarBore female. The riots will start from taxpaying TRUE British citizens who are sick of this corrupt, sleaze driven government full of liars

- Trevn, Abu Dhabi

And what of her expenses. Was it not reported she has claimed over £20,000 last year.

- Asw, HK

Yes, all your liberal policies will come home to roost. The great unwashed will be demanding more, because it is their "right" to have more.

- Dave Davies, Basingstoke

There's nothing I'd like better than to see this filthy crime-ridden city razed to the ground.
