Gordon Brown: Talking utter shite.

Gordon Brown's latest... well, pronouncements is probably the best word:

"This is the first financial crisis of the global age. And there is no clear map that has been set out from past experience to deal with it."

We've had financial crises before now, Gordon. This isn't the first recession. In fact, you should know this, Gordon, as you claimed to have abolished boom and bust. And in the past recessions, there has been a global economy. There are maps and blue prints out there, Gordon, in the history books - both examples of what to do and what not to do.

"I'm reminded of the story of Titian, who's the great painter, who reached the age of 90, finished the last of his nearly 100 brilliant paintings, and he said at the end of it, 'I'm finally beginning to learn how to paint', and that is where we are."

What, fucking painting? Is this this shittest analogy of all time? What the fuck does this have to do with the global economy? Is Gordon going to paint his way out of recession? Because, whilst that is a bollocks idea, at least it would be cheaper than his constant bank bailouts. But Titian's false modesty has very little to do with the arrogant ignorance of our total cuntwad of a Prime Minister. 

"We're learning all the time about how to deal with what are real problems for which we have no historical analogies to fall back on, because when the 1930s problems hit them, they did not have the global financial markets that we have today."

Extraordinary - again, Gordon, there have been recessions before. The 1930's do not represent the sole economic problems ever experienced by the world, ever. And there were global financial markets before now; which is how, in 1929, the problems of Wall Street managed to bring down the economy of the whole fucking world.

He said a "laissez faire" attitude was not permissible...

Why not, Gordon? By your own admission, you haven't got the first fucking clue what is going on, and you are learning all the time. Perhaps what you are about to learn is that there is nothing wrong with a laissez faire attitude. Because your interventionist attitude has achieved nothing other than the waste of billions of pounds and the achievement of the square root of bugger all.

...and added that "there is implicit protectionism I'm afraid in what is happening at the moment".

Like standing by your call for British jobs for British people, Gordon? Or have you forgotten that you said that, because it passed from your cracked, grey lips more than five minutes ago?

Fuck me, it is bad enough being in a recession. It is even worse to hear the unelected Prime Minister talking such abject nonsense. It isn't even self-serving crap any more. It is simply ill thought out, staggeringly ignorant nonsense that shows that Brown has no concept of what is actually happening in the real world, and no real concept of what life is like outside of his narrow, mental bunker. The policies of Gordon Brown have nothing to do with the policies required by the national or international economies. Gordon Brown would be better off being the Prime Minister of Narnia; at least by living in a fantasy world he would only be damaging himself, rather than every other poor fucker in this country.
