I think he is making a bad situation worse.
At the moment, the Icelandics are not feeling terribly sympathetic to the Brits (memories of the 1973 Cod War and the "occupation" of 1940 are all flooding back)I feel that the Icelandic government is just going to shove two fingers in Gordos face and there is not nmuch he can do about it.

Especially considering the Ruskies are now Iceland's best friend.

d!He's fingerpointing, again. First off it was those US subprime mortgages, now it's Icelands fault.
Total lack of control over the UK financial system allowing councils, which get their money from central Government to then invest it in known shaky non UK banks.
Injecting cash into the UK financial system, when £1bn was invested in another country. By doing so, he's given a nice bit of steak to a very hungry, angry lion and is about to get his hand ripped off when it comes back looking for more food

im surprised councils were allowed to put money in the bank, in other countries they have to invest large sums in government bills or bonds.
its no huge surprise to the world of finance that iceland has gone bust - it was at risk for a long time. so its even more outrageous that public bodies werent instructed to put their money somewhere safer. this governement (or is it any government) seem totally clueless
