dunno why you lot are so critical of Gordo,

he gave you ten years of stability to make money and tuck it away for the bad times

I think Fritz might be right this time. Gordon's already built a mountain of debt and now he's just going to add to it.

The German's wrong as usual. As Napoleon famously said of some Germans, "Don't interfere when they're making a big mistake"

Except in a broad corsican accented french, of course.

Don't know who said this, but somebody said that the germans make very few mistakes but when they do, they are generally huge mistakes.

He's right about the VAT rate decrease being pointless.

[Purple Dalek]

That sounds quite bad to a thickie like me (and SallyAnne of course)...

It's even worse when one considers the last 10 odd years of growth in GDP has been an illusion, being actually PFI and invented civil service jobs.

Well the UK's GDP has decreased by 25% simply through devaluation. Most economies are shrinking by 1 or 2%.

How well off were we compared to Europe when Labour got in and what are we now? Anyone have historic GDP data?

The German must be right.

Look at it logically. Gordon Brown has been wrong in nearly everything he's done for the last 11 years, as evidenced by our economy being in a far worse mess than anyone else, so why should it be any different this time?

I'll say that again, the German must be right. It's like saying "runner-bean flavoured ice cream", isn't it.

Strong words from German's finance minister

So who's right in this "tiff", Germany's Finance minister or Gordon Brown.
