Gordon Brown is a bad leader- official

For some reason leadership was apparently being discussed in my daughter's Sunday School class. She chipped in with the comment that "Gordon Brown is a bad leader " ( no I haven't even been discussing it with her ) " but that Obama was probably a bit better " ( that's what you get when you take your news from the Marxist BBC's Newsround programme for kids ).

So I think its game over for Brown if even eight year olds can spot he's no good just by watching BBC children's TV. ( Ok just possibly she's overheard her Father sounding of when listening to the radio just a bit ... )

PS I'm fairly sure the Obama thing will correct itself as the evidence and the bills for the Americans come in.

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
