"High levels of home ownership". Yes, but under his stewardship, home ownership fell for the first time on record.

I wonder what he's going to fight recession with - bluster and smokescreen probably.

I title only. The banks actually 'own' more now than in the past - remember debt levels have increased.

Great - so now we are fighting terrorism, bad breath, turbulence and volatility in the markets, and recession as well.

I haven't even had a karate lesson - what exactly does this fat oaf expect the great british public to fight it with? Is he just trying to encourage people to leave their money in the banks, even if it goes belly up, out of some sort of patriotism or to save his flabby rear?

Hopeful aint the word.
