    Is it such a shocking concept that Brown is actually doing something right? There is a reason why so many economists and so many governments have signed onto bank bailouts and fiscal stimuli. The Tories and their groupies have been cheering on every failure with their insistance that doing sod all is the correct course, with every suggestion that we are screwed leapt upon and paraded. Why else do the Tories keep insisting that Britain alone is worst-placed of all when the facts prove again and again that they are lying through their teeth?

    So what exactly has Gordon done that's right?

    What, Gordon? May I remind you, that people were doing it BEFORE Gordon.

    So, what's he doing right?

    Or how about, why did Gordon allow things to get so bad in the first place?
  • How to the whingers explain how we are doing better than the Eurozone and others? How we're shrinking less quickly than they are despite shrieking predictions to the contrary. How we're facing lower unemployment than others. How we're in less debt than others, allowing the OECD to state that Britain has room for manuever that other states do not.

    I think that some of you live in a parallel world where Daily Mail headlines are fact and all other sources of data can be discounted.
