Yeah, but this is the Torygraph, I would like to see the same story in the more rabidly left leaning press.

@enuii
Even so imagine the impact of such a headline..........

Not sure I get your drift as most people already know he's lost the plot never mind his grasping grip of the nations finances. The only ones who don't are probably the Big Brother watching morons who can barely comprehend the content of the Sun/Mirror/Star and the Daily Express.

I agree but sometimes people need it spelt out for them and a headline as above does just that

So Labour will get demolished in Glasgow. Brown will stagger on like a wounded animal for a few more months then be replaced. Labour will lose the next General Election and be the Opposition for at least 10 years. What do you reckon?

enuii,
Here's the same story covered by your "rabidly left-leaning press":
Guardian: Brown's prudence faces battering as Treasury reveals record deficit
"Gordon Brown's reputation for economic prudence was under unprecedented pressure yesterday as the Treasury admitted it was being forced to look at jettisoning its strict fiscal rules in the face of the worst budget deficit since the second world war."

It follows news last week that house prices are falling at the fastest rate since the Great Depression in the 1930s,

This lot have never had a grip on anything, let alone the economy (it's actually an economyth). They just rode the breaker and have now beached.

There's more chance of Mugabe calling another election to let people decide his fate than there is of Gordon Brown doing the same.
The next time Gordon Brown wants to criticize other 'regimes' maybe he should look a little closer to home!

Thank you renting2, you got it in a nutshell, Gordy Broon was always a buffoon, who never really had a grip on the economy, and came up with the "Golden Rule" soundbite just to give the pretense of Fiscal wisdom to the Market. I noticed the "one show" on the BBC didn't bother to ask
Broon any really awkward questions about e.g. the mess he's made with lax lending rules, Maastricht treaty or anything of relevance. I do hope he's still there for the next election, so we can his nose rubbed in the sh*t!

Is it true that Crash did a degree in the history of the Labour Party?

History is all Labour's gonna be at this rate.
