Gordon Brown appointed head of the IMF
Discussion
Oddly enough, it was Alastair Darling who created the gigantic deficit... If you look at the figures the debt up to 2007 wasn't all that gigantic... In fact, in 2000, everyone loved Brown because he used £22billion made from selling off 3G airspace to pay down the national debt...
All Brown did was use mis-manage the national pension pot. Although, it was Major's administration that said pensions would run out by 2013...
Nonetheless, the IMF is the bad-cop of international economics, if the World Bank is the good-cop. It's not that greatly respected anyway, seeing as it's essentially a protection racket run by the US State Department.

When Gordon Brown was treasurer of the Labour party debts rose to a record £16mil (nearly bankrupting it)
he got a promotion to Prime Minister and ran up debts of approx £178 billion (nearly bankrupting us)
now he wants to run IMF how much money will he waste there just to keep his face in the news. Could he bankrupt the world

During his term as Chancellor (apart from the 1st term when he stuck with the tory budget) be sucked the lifeblood out of this country, ruining most private pensions, creating a massive client state and enlarging the state's fraction of GDP by quite some margin. Him and Balls seem to have done this quite deliberately.
While it was bad for us, the people he claimed to represent, it was obviously pretty good for all the public sector workers and unions, PFI recipients, bankers etc, and it made us far more likely to approach the IMF for a big fat loan with 'easy payment' terms.
So it should not come as a surprise that people very high up are rewarding him, despite being a dull slug with a vicious pathological need to control he has largely done what he needed to bankrupt the country and destabilize the currency, benefiting his masters in finance well.
It's a bit like his murderous companion Bliar, who despite starting wars and killing people wherever and whenever he could, gets a job as a 'peace envoy' and fat annual cheques from JPM, one of the owners of the FED. Talking of 'peace envoys' - did you ever notice how Kissinger and Albright worked it? Peace was breaking out all over, so they'd send in their envoy and 99% of the time a bloody and brutal war would break out almost immediately after..
People seem to have this Naive view of politicians that a) they are in charge (despite them owning nothing and owing everything), and b) they represent us. One would think a term of Obama would teach people how wrong that was, as Mr Peace Obama runs the biggest defence budget in history year after year, closely followed by the biggest deficits..
Then we get back to Cameron and Gleggy, (ignoring the trotskyite Milipede), busy doing all they can to appease the banking sector and frantically handing the UK over to the EU as fast as possible. Perhaps politicians were just invented to make lawyers look good?
