According to this Daily Mail article Labour has blamed Carol Vordeman for causing the Credit Crunch.

Labour's sums just don't add up.

Oh yes, the country's up the spout because of Carol Vorderman.

So Mr Prescott has a problem with the type of loans advertised by Ms Vorderman. Easy credit being offered to the kind of people a blind retard could see wouldn't be able to pay it back. Yet at the time there wasn't a peep from him, could it be that the higher standard of living all this borrowed money allowed was something he and his cronies could take credit for? I think so.

Besides which, according to the article, Labour still thought she was a good role model for getting our young to be more au fait with figures. But she doesn't want to be in our trough-diving gang any more, so we'll just call her names instead. Bell-end.

Of course Prescott could have drawn up legislation to stop the punting of credit to unemployed idiots. But I expect he was too busy eating pies.

Have you noticed how that nothing that goes wroing is ever the Govt's fault, yet they have ultimate responsibility for everything?

I get the same feeling I had about the present government now that I had when the Tories were bowing out in 1997

15m men unemployed knocking one out to Countdown of an afternoon rather than out working.

The article may have a point after all.

Vorderman declines offer to go to Downing Street with Gordon to play with Balls and then a no-body who used to be a politician sgs her off publicly. Sounds like something kids get up to "Carol wouldn't play with me, my friend will tell everyone she smells"

Everyday there is another news story about how corrupt this government, how useless it is and just what sort of people are in it.

Sorry 2 stories today.

I'm sure Gordon Brown's keeping an eye on it.

I wondered where he'd left the other one.

Not bothered about Vorderman, but am most upset by the story there that some porker has got his mitts on my perfect bit of council.
