What Brown got, was a tenure in No11 through some of the most benign world economic conditions in many years - and he was big headed enough to think it was all his doing cos he's such a good chancellor. No more boom and bust, my arse.
The man's a clueless w@nker, and Darling was no better. The way the pair of them dithered and didn't make a decision - any decision - for days during the run on Northern Rock made the situation far worse; for the folks queuing on the street, for the rest of the banking industry, for NR itself, for the tax payer (as it made the situation worse than it needed to be). Any decision better than no decision, but it took them days to do anything (guarantee the savers funds). Whether that decision was right or not is perhaps another discussion, but it should have been made (one way or the other) much sooner.
The man's a clueless w@nker, and it good to see that he's vanished into the ether since the election. Apart from an attempt to put himself forward for the IMF job (Government corridors around the world are still echoing to the laughter on that one), has he been seen / consulted on anything?
