    And they are correct too. They've been largely correct all along - warning about the impending credit-crunch, lax lending, inflated house prices etc. It was Brown and Darling that dismissing the IMF warnings and have ended up with egg on their face. They try to suggest that this wasn't seen coming but Brown and Darling not only ignored the problem but fuelled it.
