Nothing to do with me.

But who sewed the deregulation seed in Gordon Brown's tiny little mind? Could it have been the bankers?

Regardless, it was his job to ensure they were regulated. Same with any sector.

Glass Steagall was only repealed so that American banks could compete with The City because of the deregulation brought in by Gordon Brown. Therefore Gordon Brown is to blame for everything.

I never fully appreciated that.

Economically and fiscally, Brown turned out to be a complete and utter ****, didn't he.

Speaking of which, are Brown or Blair set to get important jobs in the European parliament?

Seems as if Gordon may have single-handedly ruined the world, rather than saving it as he claims. He could be our secret weapon, can we not get him a high powered job in France or Germany?

I'm with Brillo on this.

Bill Clinton, forced the repeal of the Glass Steagal Act in 1999, after it had been in place for 66 years.

Our current economic woes. Who is to blame?

Multiple choice poll.

I can't see the Thatcher option

Quite, if it was'nt for her we would have been in the wonderful position of having had nothing to lose.

I prefer it like this - all the above are responsible but one is forced to make a number one choice.

There are some others missed though - like Bill Clinton. He allowed retail and investment banks to be combined and forced banks to lend to people who could not afford it.

Where's the "Every Indian and Chinese family wanting cars and the subsequent increase in demand for raw materials that requires is really ******* things up" option?

Just asking, like...
