May

[scooterscot]

Why would you rather? Those two maniacs would crash the UK economy onto the rocks. You don't even live here. I'm fed up of people like you sniping from the sidelines.

The country needs to have the reset button pushed. A good and proper property crash can be delivered by Labour. I have interests and assets in the UK. Just like the Chinese folks. Interests that might increase after the crash.

May is easily the worse Prime minister since.... Cameron.

Was Cameron better than Brown?

Was Cameron better than Brown?

He was better than May, and May will be judged better than the next one...

Brown never gambled 40+ years of relationship with our closest trading partners.

Brown never sold off the council houses, houses that are now so desperately needed.

He was a total numpty for not getting debt under control, however. Although the Tories have only made it worse.

Agreed. Austerity is needed. Who will tell the Guardian?

Guardian relies on the public sector so ain't going to happen.

but brown did sell off loads of gold and drove the price down before doing it by telling the markets he was about to sell off loads of gold!

That's not too many weeks of £350 million magic money.

It is a catchy headline. But was not actually that much money in todays terms. And we'd not have used it either had we still had it. If anything governments are hoarding it rather than giving it up.

Stopped Blair signing up to the Euro though didn't he?
