How can Gordon Brown be responsible for the international balls up that's going down right now? How can anyone think this is due to mere domestic policy?
As a side issue: the Labour rebels who are demanding a leadership election because there's a 20% slide in their party's popularity need to grow up. Do they think that David Milliband is going to pull us out of this before the next election? Or Ed Balls? I don't think so! Or how about David Cameron? Would the great Thatcher be able to do something about it by cutting off benefits and closing some more manufacturing down.... Perhaps!
No only joking
Somebody else used the word "steady". A bit of patience and maybe not having it all and now for a while is what we need.
We're gonna get it that's for sure.
I meant Sub Prime and other credit instruments I.e. 'investment banking...' when I mentioned exotic loans. China is irrelevant to the economic problems in the world, because we have very little manufacturing base in Britain and the goods demanded have to be produced somewhere.

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are responsible for the crisis in this country. Just like Mr Bush is responsible for the woes of America. Blair and Brown took us into a war in which we had nothing to gain, and which they have borrowed heavily to fund.

They've also given away billions in foreign aid to primitive cavemen(money we desperately need now) and increased the political correctness nonsense we're bombarded with every day.

If any one wants to assess the nature of the labour party, go back approx 10 years. To the time when greengrocers were having their property confiscated for selling in pounds and ounces. Did the labour party step in and stop it........of course not, they sent their lackeys over to implement it.

The politicians in this country are useless. The best is the chap in charge of the UKIP. Even then I don't agree with his position on most things.

P.S This post is dedicated to all greengrocers who had their scales confiscated.
