There were quite a few voices and as chancellor simply saying "its hard to see risks" is not good enough. Gordon should have been more tuned into what was happening. Surely 5X+ mortgages just to get on the housing ladder is a bit daft and surely you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that.

Well we all know that now. Your quite a few voices got very little media coverage.

Anyway - answer the point. Had Brown done what the Tories are now saying he should have done? What would their reaction have been considering their record before last September? They, the press AND the city would have hounded Brown for every single pound of investment that left Britain and went abroad. We know now that the investments were worthless - we didn't at the time.

Like I said there are a lot of people who have suddenly become wise after the event. With respect Wookster neither side were advocating what you are saying above. Its hard to see what difference a Tory chancellor would have made considering that their were pledge to deregulate even more.

Stop trying to bring the Tories into this. They weren't in power, no one knows
what they would have done. We know what Crash did: he took his eyes off the ball. Why don't you answer the question:Surely 5X+ mortgages just to get on the housing ladder is a bit daft and surely you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that?

Got nothing to do with the Tories! Crash was in charge and in any case, is he supposed to run the government for the approval of the Tories or to do the right thing for the country?

Actually, don't answer, I'll be on the slopes tomorrow way out of internet coverage :beer:
