Who watched "The Love of Money" on BBC2 last night?

What now follows is a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour party.

To summarise:

Gordon is a financial genius, he was duped by greedy banks, and don't forget all the good he and Tony did before the crash.

HTH

I did, but I missed the bit where he said "No more boom and bust".

How come "This Week" was replaced with a (repeated) documentary about flu?

"Under this Government, Britain will not return to the boom and bust of the past."
Pre-Budget Report, 9th November 1999

"Mr Deputy Speaker we will not return to boom and bust."
Budget Statement, 7 March 2001

"As I have said before Mr Deputy Speaker: No return to boom and bust."
Budget Statement, 22 March 2006

"And we will never return to the old boom and bust."
Budget Statement, 21 March 2007

People have Gordon all wrong. He said "nae mair boom and bust" when asked about his views on the porn industry.

I just thought that all the parts involving Gordon Brown speaking made him look foolish. Anyone who watched that and came away thinking GB was any sort of financial brain is slower than GB himself. Jeez I hate that thing he does with his mouth when he pauses between sentences. Looks like he loses control of his bottom lip.

[TimberWolf]

Gordon has got serious mental problems and the mentally ill should not be abused.

I hate that also - as I've said before that slack jaw thing he does when he takes a breath annoys me also. Mainly because it proves the fecker is still breathing.

Good to know people aren't so shallow as to read importance into the physical appearance of GB. Kick him all you like for his policies, but getting personal about him is childish.

NOOOOOOOOO!

I keep telling people - no he hasn't got any mental health problems. The last thing we want is for him to use the insanity ploy to get out of standing trial for his crimes.
