Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) Spotted this on FirstRung - "Mr Brown has now spent £16.4bn this year. That's nearly halfway to the £36bn he plans to borrow between now and next April - and we're only three months into the current financial year."

dnd Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Sounds like he's copying us - just borrowing/spending without consequences.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I would imagine he's hoping to move into Number 10 before the money runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a mole and I live in ahole Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I would imagine he's hoping to move into Number 10 before the money runs out. Who will move into No. 11 when he moves out? Any FTB'ers out there that fancy it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 His recent advert (hastily withdrawn) to sell off the NHS would have kept him solvent for another year. Stand by for new stealth taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingley Bloke Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is anyone else starting to spot the similarity between the behaviour of Gordon Brown and that of Nick Leeson, or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
