The end of Thatcherism

[shaunbhoy]

Fannie Mae, Lehman, Bear Sterns, all, all Gordon Brown's fault!

And the Reichsmark!!!!

IT'S ALL BROWN'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be so dramatic expat. Few are blaming him for those failures. However, for sitting on his hands for over a decade whilst self-serving bank bosses in this country dreamt up ever more zany and hazardous business models with which to feather their own nests, he is undeniably guilty. He had a moral obligation both as Chancellor and PM to ensure that the financial sector was behaving rationally and responsibly, and in that he clearly failed. He opted to allow a huge unsustainable credit bubble to blossom and sat back happily gobbling up the plaudits for a "prudent economic miracle" that was built on tick. Crucifixion is too good for the slavering ball of lard!!

I'm just waiting now for someone to refute that.

Someone?
Anyone?

I can't refute his statement, I happen to share the same view.

This country hasn't had any genuine wealth generation for a long time. Wealth is created by producing things not just shuffling notional money around in oddball speculation schemes.

Fair's fair: Saint Tony was in charge for most of that time, and Gordo had to toe the line (by doing nowt whilst we all thought we'd struck gold with our BTLs and 125,000,000% mortgages), lest he be passed over for the Big Job.

I think she fancies Bob, she has been stalking him.
You know like 12 year olds pulling hair and running away sort of way.

I can't blame her for her lusting after me: it's the knobbly bits and the manly voice that we Daleks win the ladies with. Mind you, I wouldn't touch her with a proverbial.

It's because you daleks look like you are wearing a burkha I think.
Mind you, have you seen what she has got under hers? She looks like supergirl and 34DD assets.

Best use of the word 'assets' in a long time.

Probably ever.
