Who to believe - Brown or Brooks?
Discussion
Deliberate, wreckless, spiteful, hatrated fuelled massive spending in the last few months of government, when the largest recession for 70 years is obviously on the horizon, is criminal.
The man should be in prison.
If you did that in a corporate environment you would be held to account for your actions.
He knew he would get away with it and f
ked the taxpayers and the country for personal gratification.
Forget prison, he should be punished appropriately.

Two things about Brown today.
Firstly, I don't believe he told a single truth.
Secondly, I'm not entirely convinced he is aware of this.
I think he is mentally ill. He has wasted his entire life with an intent drive to change Britain into a utopian state of equality that his mind cannot cope with the abject waste and failure he has made of his life and is protecting itself from reality by operating within a wholly delusional state.
His entire political career he was a dishonest, driven, violent, angry zealot. I believe that since 08 he is a genuinely broken wreck.
In total agreement, Brown is a despicable person that will be long remembered for his incompetence.Firstly, I don't believe he told a single truth.

Don't forget the fact that he has only attended parliament about five times since the last election.
And one of them was to gloat with that terrible Cheshire Cat grin of his, about the contract for the two aircraft carriers that he had made sure would cost more to cancel then to build. The two aircraft carriers that will mainly be assembled by workers in shipyards in his nice safe seat.
I loathe the man. We might be in a mess now but the mess we would be in if he had got a second term does not bear thinking about. The damage he has done to this country could take decades to repair and some of it we might never be able to fix.

Well that's what Brown did for most of his career, his 'light touch regulation' leading to the failures of HBOS and several major lending institutions. Except he doesn't make a mention of this in his dishonest book - not even a hint. Dishonest is too nice a word.

I'm genuinely not sure whether you are on a wind up or not?
Obviously because I'm not calling for abrown's head on a stick, therefore I'm on a wind up...So no, I'm not on a wind up, you seem to be able to wind yourself into a frenzy all on your own without my help.
I see Brown as a weak man who thought he was tough, but couldn't make the big calls when he needed to. He made stupid, reactive decisions and engineered his own downfall. I also think he told a couple of porkies during his questioning yesterday. However, compared to Brooks and the Murdochs, well, would you trust them over anything? They're fighting for their lives and reputations and I don't put it past them to play very dirty, especially as they've already proven themselves to be moral vacuums.

It was Brown with his mind control beam that forced them to take stupid risks

Bankers are imperfect. Same as everyone else. The difference is that their errors can impact on all of us. Hence the huge importance of regulation. The bankers are perfect

There has never been a case in history that when you deregulate finance you achieve an economic boom followed by banking failure.
GB knew exactly what he was doing when he removed the B of E from regulating the banks. He was a control freak and he wanted control of the banks and to remove regulation to stimulate an economic boom.
In regards to his dishonesty, I don't believe for one minute that it is the same kind of open, deliberate dishonesty that Blair is responsible for. No, with Brown it is the kind of dishonesty that comes from a 'true believer' on a devout mission where he is right and everyone else is wrong.

Your point being . . ?
Brown's unofficial biographer was on TV this morning telling it as it is. The presenters didn't like it, not helped by one being married to a former editor of the LabourList website / originator of the Blairite Progress outfit / Lobbygate participant / Mandelson gofer and the other thinking they're the news rather than a presenter of it.

It's Major today. I've got a great deal of respect for the bloke, ERM aside. Had it not been for the madness of the backbenchers and all of his cabinet having it off with anyone more or less alive, not to mention the shield of truth fiasco, I feel we would not have had Blair.
He presided over a government that had a 'last day of term' mentality. I voted for labour in 97 but only because the tories were an unelectable rabble.
