Gordon Brown was wrong to suggest that Britain was better placed than its rivals to weather the recession, his Chancellor has conceded.
Alistair Darling came under pressure today to justify the Prime Minister's claim that Britain would lead the world out of the downturn.
The Chancellor insisted Britain would return to growth at the end of the year, despite seeing France, Germany and the US all exit the recession first
But asked to accept Britain is not leading the world out of the downturn, he appeared to acknowledge the Prime Minister was wrong.
“Other countries have come out of recession before us. However, the point I’m making is, I always thought that, so far as our country is concerned, it would be the turn of the year before we saw that,” he told the BBC.

Gordon Brown in failure to predict future shocker!
Get a life guys, FFS...
Whilst were all aware that the guy is a complete loser and not worth of a job sweeping the streets let alone PM, unfortunately he is PM and should be derided for every single one of his mistakes and liesGet a life guys, FFS...
It is his job to heed the advice of his advisors on future trends and act accordingly, the man has repeatedly stated that he knows best and will be single handedly responsible for bringing the UK (and the rest of the world) out of recession, that his chancellor has confirmed his deceit is staggeringly damning of winky, his policies and his government

There you go. See how easy it becomes, after months of continuous exposure to these lies, just to roll over and start the process of ACCEPTANCE.
However, I also do hassle my MP about such things.

A failure to predict the future properly is not lieing...
We should have a little vote on whether you areo naive
o lieing
o dumb
(probably multi-selection).
Gordon had access to all the figures, and control of his own policies. He will have been told what the results would be. He chose to lie to us.

Show me where Darling called Brown a liar - please ,pretty please?
Brown undoubtedly lies about a good many things ,but you simply cannot lie about an event in the future. (Even if you have a pretty good idea of what will happen)
Pedantic ,me? Surely not.

Before saying I am naive, dumb and a liar you should read my post properly...
I didn't say you were all three. 
</pedant>
Winky really is a prize t
t though ,just in case you think I am some sort of NuLabia apologist!I am sure we can agree on that!
They know he's a complete failure just like the rest of the world, they simply don't want to humiliate the British people by calling him it. Diplomacy or somesuch..

I wonder if the rest of the world, particularly the US, still think he's some kind of genius. Everyone seems to be pulling through except us
Brown knew the truth but said otherwise, so it's a lie. Anyway, has Darling gone a bit 
, only recently he's admitted that flight tax has nothing to do with the environment and all to do with replenishing government coffers. Is he after Brown's job I wonder... 
are the rats deserting the sinking ship?
