Browned off with bailouts?

I've just seen Gordon Brown on television, with Alistair Darling giving appropriate backup. The two are still convinced that throwing money at the problem is the only way out. Some agree, but many more I suspect are either in disagreement or are highly uncomfortable with it all.

Brown looked tired and drawn. If he doesn't get it right soon, he may have to do an Anthony Eden on us. He still blames the banks. He is angry. Well we all are, but he has had access to information we didn't. In August 2007 the sub-prime fiasco blew up in our faces. Ever since, he must have been asking some questions, surely? He just seems to be following events rather than anticipating them or even asking simple questions.

He needs to get those bankers in and put a financial pistol to their heads. And he can bring in Angela Knight in too, of the British Bankers' Association. She was Conservative MP for Erewash and was Economic Secretary to the Treasury in John Major's government. She seems to think more roses are growing in the garden than most of us can see!

We need Ron Paul over here to give us all a pep talk!
