"It lead to accusations from one of Mr Brown's own MPs that Government failures meant Britain was now heading towards a depression.

But Mr Brown maintained that only the plans he was putting forward would help Britain battle the downturn. He said he was “using every weapon” to fight it."

So it's more of the same policies from the same arsehole that put us in the excrement in the first place!

St Vince is the most right man in British politics for generations.

A lot of recovering from a recession is regaining confidence. Nobody had any in Bush, nobody has any in Brown. America changed presidents and it would help a great deal if Britain changed prime minister. Cameron's biggest asset is that he is not Gordon Brown and some degree of confidence would be restored immediately the fat creepy one-eyed incompetent bastard left. But Brown would rather be in charge of a hurting country than step aside and let someone else try to fix it. He'll hang on and keep doing damage.

It's his only bloody asset ! (but it might just be enough)

This is a global financial crisis. You have to be living in a deep, dark pit of parochialism and economic ignorance to think that Gordon did it.

But he did make it worse (For the UK)

Worse than what? Iceland? Other EU countries?

[Scooby Do]

Worse than it would have been.

And still he gives our money to prop up banks who just handed out a £2000 bonus to a bankrupt bank.

Whether or not you think that Brown bears any responsibility for this mess doesn't matter. The point is that confidence counts and nobody has any in Gordon Brown. His entire economic policy looked like it was designed to create the mess we're in. Jonren kept saying so and Omnipresent just dripped contempt on him from his lofty perch in the ivory tower. I don't think that Omnipresent has been given enough abuse for that.

So now we've got a PM who has no credibility at all. He made such a big thing of his economic policies which are now known to be stupid by everyone except Omni who is basing his judgement on flawed ideology and blind love more than anything else. He's still pulling out the country's credit card to spend on rubbish and behaving like a drunken lottery winner. Nobody expects things to improve until he's gone. So the sooner the better.
