Brown presided over a boom based on astonishing levels of public and personal debt. Now, in an attempt to end a crisis, in large part of his own making, he creates even greater debt! What this government has done is leap from once crisis to another under a man who has no idea what it takes to be a true leader. Did you see him on U Tube? My God; that smile!Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-20010643986206237362009-06-07T10:35:26.068-07:002009-06-07T10:35:26.068-07:00You are right in supposing that I was never keen o...You are right in supposing that I was never keen on Mr Brown, but I happen to think that what a government does is more important than the personality of the man leading it. Let's not forget that it was Brown who gave the Bank of England control of our monetary policy, a policy which that fat idiotic fathead Kenneth Clark opposed.Zakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585738632452979553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-57491994620796455802009-06-07T09:12:56.086-07:002009-06-07T09:12:56.086-07:00Oh, Mr Darling; I’m, so flattered; welcome to the ...Oh, Mr Darling; I’m, so flattered; welcome to the realm of the Imp! Sorry, Zaki; I couldn’t resist that. I like to think of myself as unpredictable but I’m quite happy to accept conventional, convivial or conservative, both with a small and a large c! I certainly think the unconventional thing is to defend our present government in any degree, and I commend you for your loyalty. But let’s be honest: you know and I know that it’s finished, even if the leadership is changed. Anyway, I note your defence of darling Darling, saying nothing about the main target of my assault, which I take to be an indication of your own views. Please forgive me if I am leaping to conclusions, something I tend to do in my predictably unconventional way!Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-60941821386616700352009-06-06T03:00:36.842-07:002009-06-06T03:00:36.842-07:00Aren't your views a tad conventional for an up...Aren't your views a tad conventional for an up-and-coming intellectual? I think the government is doing a great job. They're recapitalised the banks, eased the credit shortage for small business and stimulated the economy with tax cuts. Alistair Darling was right: the recession will end before the end of the year. What a first-rate chancellor he is!Zakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585738632452979553noreply@blogger.com
