Brown piles pressure on Iceland over frozen bank deposits

1 day ago

LONDON (AFP) — Gordon Brown stepped up pressure on Iceland as Britain tried to establish how many hundreds of millions of pounds of local government cash had been in frozen Icelandic banks.

"What happened in Iceland is completely unacceptable," he told BBC television on Thursday. "I've been in touch with the Icelandic prime minister, I've said that this is effectively illegal action that they've taken."

He added: "We will take further action against the Icelandic authorities wherever that is necessary to recover the money."

Brown told Sky News television Britain had "taken action to seize the assets of Icelandic banks", in reference to Wednesday's announcement that it would freeze the assets of Icelandic bank Landsbanki using anti-terrorism laws.

Too many years in the rarefied atmosphere of the EU has destroyed any concept of what governance of a sovereign nation should involve. It could not be any clearer - this man is a menace to the entire world. See the latest comments from the Icelandic leader in the press this morning, linked here, a quote:

At a press conference in Reykjavik, Mr Haarde said Mr Brown’s outspoken public threat to seize the assets of Icelandic companies was “illegal.”

He said that the British Government’s assessment of Iceland’s prospects had fuelled the collapse of the country’s currency.

Iceland’s banking collapse is threatening its entire economy, and the country is widely expected to seek financial aid from the International Monetary Fund in the coming days.
