At the very least.Originally posted by Purple Dalek View PostI hate these journos who talk everything up. It's going to be bad in the UK really really bad.Comment

Outlook As Gordon Brown plans his reflationary strategy, an old bogey has returned to haunt the Government's ambitions – the possibility of a sterling crisis
In my opinion, any journo that manages to mention an old bogey in the same article that mentions GB is a fkn genius

Gordon has his fingers in the till and with an election looming he is going on a spending spree and create more debt. If he cannot cut public spending when we need to, I see no hope of him ever cutting it. That means higher and higher taxes, but he will do anything for another few years of power. Keep voting for him!!
