Hi Helen,

Unfortunately Gordon has destroyed the economy.

I remember seeing him on TV a few years ago standing outside a new shopping centre smiling and saying how strong the UK economy was. The sad fact is that our economy was built on borrow and spend (borrow money from China to buy Chinese goods)

The government could have stopped the run-away house market (by applying capital gains tax on any profit or by taxing house purchases at say 17.5%) They didn’t even when it was obvious that the housing market was completely out of control. When people start making more money from their houses than their salaries something is VERY VERY wrong. (we had .com then we had .house)

Gordon PERSONALLY decided that it was wise to DUMP a large proportion of the countries gold depots on the world market causing gold prices to crash to a 20 year low (a value now known as Browns Bottom — don’t believe me check out Wikipedia). This had personally cost every man woman and child in the UK something like 80 quid. Well done Gordon.

I am forever amazed what various people blame the Tories for. “Thatcher destroyed the British ship industry” (If she did then she must also have been responsible for the death for virtually ALL large ship building in all countries except South Korea, China and Japan (at one stage Sweden was filling the Baltic Sea with brand new over priced ships no one wanted, then the Swedish shipping industry collapsed). Same is true for coal and several other industries.

I think it is amazing that Brown has the cheek to blame the banks for all the financial mess (I work in the telecoms industry and have no connection to the banking industry at all). The government has personally borrowed money like there is no tomorrow. I am not surprised that Brown refused a vote of EURO membership since sure as heck we couldn’t (now) meet the membership entry requirements. Since Brown became PM the pound has dropped by 34% against the Euro, 31% against the US dollar and a mammoth 82% against the Japanese Yen. The truth is at Britain now owes so much due to the way that labour has wrecked the economy the ONLY option is to follow Zimbabwe’s lead and devalue (expect inflation to take off within the next year). Currently the government debt per citizen is about 13800 quid (yep that’s the amount owed by every single man/woman and child in the uk)
