crookesey Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Europe looked to Gordon for guidance during the recent crisis. I doubt they would ever look to george Osborn. May as well consult a clairvoyant............ Yes, Gordon can at least say that he had an effect on one of the worlds major economies, whilst so far George has not yet managed to find the bottom line of what he inherited.

ronthenekred Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Devils Advocate. As many seem critical, who would be a good alternative? It has been suggested that one of the new emerging member nations have a shot rather than The US or Europe. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hold no brief for Gordon Brown or any individual or faction of the LibLabCon Party, however, the nonsense about his financial screwing of the country is not quite so clear cut as some of you make out. Blair outThatchered Thatcher with a far superior propaganda machine. Since Thatcher Labour and Conservative have virtually seemlessly changed governments with virtually no differences in policy or spending. The Tories were signed up to take over from Labour with but the subtlest changes in spending plans. The fly in the ointment was of course the crashing of a fraudulent international financial system. Gordon Brown is definitely culpable in so far as he refused to regulate the Banksters, deregulation was of course started by the Thatcher Government continued by Labour and is essentially unchanged by the latest faction of the LibLabCon Party to get their snouts in the trough.

Lady Star Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Why not? Don't recall anyone complaining about his skills as chancellor... Only after the GLOBAL crash did anyone say anything negative about his financial skills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only after the GLOBAL crash did anyone say anything negative about his financial skills... You weren't listening hard enough. There were people who thought him useless long before the credit crunch. I've thought he was useless since about 2004/05 since it was already becoming evident that he didn't care about keeping a lid on the housing market.

Tatman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Gordon Clown couldn't run a tap much less an Organisation such as the IMF! Yet he managed to run the country and his party. Badly, but he managed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
