I think you’ll find it’s a bit more complicated than that.

There’s no doubt that we’re in a poor economic situation and that we were relatively exposed to the credit crunch because of the City’s importance to UK plc. However, things aren’t as bad as they could be and are, perhaps, showing signs of improvement. Inaction would have led us to worse consequences.

You are of course taking the piss, brown is dead in the water, he is praying for the unemployment to drop the banks to lend, while allowing the bank of England to print money like water. This government has without doubt lived off a lie and the lie had died and Brown has no answer.

1. Furthermore to Dave’s point, there’s such an obvious pattern to the attempted stabs at Gordon. Blears, Purnell, Falconer, Hutton, Flint. The Blairites’ attempt to destroy Gordon & the party is abhorrent. There is no reason why Gordon can’t win a general election. There’s no where near the vibe for Cameron as there was for Blair in 1996, and his empty policy cupboard is such an open goal.
Gordon does need a sustained attack on the Conservatives and need to stop Cameron from creating the media agenda. If he’s not good at this side of PR, surely he can find advisers who are.

Gordon needs to hammer home a few messages. Firstly the Tories would take Britain down the same road in this recession as they did with the last one – i.e. let half the country go to the wall. Secondly that only Labour truly cares about the poorest in society – while the Tory frontbench only represents the fruits of privilege.

Deal with the Blairites, hammer hope Cameron’s vacuous policies and shameful opportunism, support education, health & society (and while you’re at it, scrap ID cards,) and your got your fourth time Gordon!

I totally agree Dave. The media want Gordon’s scalp and we should not give it to them.
The Tories and their media allies fear the economy getting back on track more than anything which is why they tried to implode the system by leaking the expenses info. They are desperate for an early election.
I’m backing Gordon Brown for sure.
