    Who remembers Gordon saying this last autumn:

    "Thanks to my good management, Britain is uniquely well-placed to ride out the global recession."

      His saying that was one actually of the triggers for people to get out of Sterling.

      It's not just us who listen to what he says and just knows the opposite is the case.

        Yep, Obama effect here, the pound has risen against the Euro of late
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Interesting to note that there's not a mention of any of this on the BBC news homepage. Not a dickie bird. Practically all the other news sites I looked at today have been leading with this.
