Why not just get unemployed people digging huge holes in the ground? Then you could get another group of unemployed people to follow on behind them filling in the holes again. Hose large sums of money at the project to trash the currency even further and threaten to shoot anybody who looks as though they might disagree with the idea.

isn't it more about getting some bargain price labour to get some needed work done?

The article quotes GB as saying: "I'm angry....we had a banking system where people neither knew the risks they were taking or were open enough about the problems they had". Apart from that being logically incoherent, the labour party in government have never been slow to interfere, monitor, regulate or legislate - apart from in one area where it might have done some good.

How did this clown ever end up running UK plc? Frank Field MP was right; Brown is quite mad. He has turned a really bad situation into an end of everything scenario, because his defective thinking seems to have influenced other world leaders. Just wait till you see what is coming over the next few months.

You know he same happened in the last depression. "Just wait till you see what is coming over the next few months" I hope you are right, but I fear It will be much longer.

Why do you think they never learn from history, or do they?

Great news for the 100,000 bad news for the rest of us and all of our children.

I can't remember a politician more motivated by knee-jerk popularism.

If he really thinks this is down to bankers and he had no idea what was going on unless he was told then quite frankly he is not in any way fit to be Prime Minister or indeed his previous job which he "thought" he done such a good job with.
