What will Gordon do now?

[Sysman]

He's confirmed today that he will continue as an MP for the years to come.

We'll still get his memoirs, no doubt.

I think the City is well aware of Gordon Brown's curse: did the prime minister kill Lehman Bros?

Even the New York Times is now repeating a joke circulating on the internet that blames Mr Brown for "hexing" Lehman Bros by opening its London headquarters in 2004.

Just some examples:

The curse of Jonah Brown
Jonah curses Kent
Jonah Brown puts curse on East region

Ghost written by AtW?

Nope by Toynebee probably.

I know what I'd like him to do but apart from it being physically impossible and probably illegal in most countries I would get locked up for just owning a copy of the photo.

[Zippy]

I don't think anyone in the city rates him. He was described as 'economically illiterate'.

Prseumably by the same bunch of tosspots that launched the giant mortgage pyramid schemes.

Yeah, well Gordon can claim a large share of the credit for those "giant mortgage pyramid schemes".

He set up the financial regulatory schemes, his government approved the takover of ABN Ambro (packed with dodgey subrime by RBS),
he wanted light touch bank regulation, they took no action to stop a huge property bubble develop, and
lastly he allowed government and personal debt to reach unprecedented levels.

He has a good government salary and a very good pension scheme lined up, but the people he supposedly cares
about will not be so scheltered from the very negative effects of his policies.

You're a German spy, aren't you.

I have worked in Germany.

However, I just can't spell !

[Sysman]

Nope by Toynebee probably.

OMG! What a dreadful thought.

She'd probably paint him as a hero...

Actually she don't like him ....

They made a huge amount of money doing it, and when it all collapsed have made another huge amount of money.

Tosspots? Not if your aim is to make huge amounts of money...
