Our erstwhile Prime Minister has informed the Commons that he has saved the world. Let's have David Icke as the next PM.
I think if you took the time to read David Ickes books, and watch his interviews and lectures, you may have a different opinion of the man
How so? Given I don't have time to read his books Well I might have time, but have more pressing books to read.
I always thought he was daft Then I took the time to listen to one of his lectures that was broadcast on the web. He's a ******* loony! So yes, I suppose you're right.
This might not be as silly as it first sounds The theory is, if we sit back and do nowt the economy of the whole world will spiral down out of control Some say that the sit back and do nowt method is indeed what we should do. Britain has a special place and influence in the world; America - Commonwealth - Europe. Gordon thinks we should do something and he has been pivitol in bringing leaders of the world together to do exactly that. Who would ever ever have thought that the USA of all countries, where the dollar is king, would look at saving industries that are losing £££ millions. Very un-American, but they are doing it (dunno).
RE: This might not be as silly as it first sounds Isnt Gordon Brown just increasing our national debt which is already out of control?
Something like that If I understand this right the current economic crisis is casued by people borrowing money they cant afford to pay back Our solution involves borrowing a lot more money .... Maybe I am just thick and cant grasp the subtleties
big of him... ...did he also mention that he's largely to blame for getting us into the sh*t in the first place?</p> No? Thought not. </p> </p> </p>
They don't really have a choice, regardless of the 'global problems' the UK is in pretty much the worst position of rest of the larger economies, due to the negligable way Gordon acted whilst being in charge of our finances. Gold reserves are what help you through problems such as this and Gordon sold most of them off at the lowest rate they'd been at for decades. By posturing about a bit now and spending vast amounts of borrowed money that they would have to spend anyway, he'll convince the not so bright that it would have been much, much worse, had they not acted. Wait until next year, his soundbite for a successful rescue package will be based on theory. While millions will be unemployed and wondering what the **** happened to their house. The fact is, borrowing will have to shoot up anyway, he's just announcing it as a great plan to save us all and the world obviously. The man's a lovely person.
RE: Something like that Moneys no problem, it just means working weekends at the money printing factory. Devalues the pound, but at least it makes our country less attractive to other Europeans.
Heartily seconded Had a Golden opportunity to not only invest in the country's infrastructure but to put public finances on a sound footing - instead money has been wasted with little to show for it. Spurious 'targets' for the NHS and schools etc mean fck all. New labour have conned the electorate into worshipping league tables. </p> Destroyed private pensions and reduced incentives to save - now wants everyone to carry on spending money they haven't got to somehow get us through an economic downturn. Leading by example with his borrowing at a national level. It wouldn't be so bad if genuine infrastructure was spent on - but it'll go the way of the last 11 years on the wage bill for the public sector. </p> He's ignoring the fact that cheap credit is now no more. It might also hit home that the UK economy cannot survive based on selling houses and retailing.</p> </p>
