Brown takes "full reponsibility" for *******????

The Guardian carries the supposed confession, read it from here. Brown said: "I take full responsibility for all my actions, but I think we're dealing with a bigger problem that is global in nature, as well as national. Perhaps 10 years ago after the Asian crisis when other countries thought these problems would go away, we should have been tougher ... keeping and forcing these issues on to the agenda like we did on debt relief and other issues of international policy." Dominic Lawson in The Independent, linked here, (writing on the absurdity of David Cameron) nicely nails this nonsense: The Prime Minister has, however, made matters even worse for himself by saying that, "My regret is that I failed over these years to persuade people with sufficient force that our proposals [to reform the global financial system] should have been implemented after the [1997] Asian crisis." Even if anyone other than Mr Brown could remember what he said over ten years ago to some of his fellow finance ministers of the day, it is staggeringly insensitive to combine "regret" with "Actually, I told you so". As a married man, the Prime Minister should know this very well. He should only imagine how his wife would react if, after he had once again left the front door open, resulting this time in a burglary, he answered her complaint with: "My regret, Sarah, is that no one in this house listened when I said ten years ago that we should install a burglar alarm". Gordon Brown is a menace to every family in Britain and unhappily even beyond Britain with his obsession with the upcoming G20 meeting, a pure distraction when the problem is a collapse of confidence in international capital and financial instruments requiring restoration of faith to begin at the most local level possible. David Cameron is Brown's puppet and therefore even more dangerous as a potential successor! Gordon Brown Sterling's Saboteur!
