Is Gordon Brown an economic illiterate?

Chucky, if your view is a "plague on all your houses", and you do just want to mock the lot of them, then of course you can. I find it a bit frustrating, because I'd much rather people did try and engage in a sensible debate. (Probably because I'm not very good at mocking!)

and i certainly shall

as i've always said. i can live with Cameron, he seems a strongish leader.
i can't do this with the liability Osborne around. if the tories had someone else i'd actually probably vote for them.

If you really think that my response to you is a joke, then okay, but for what it's worth, I'm trying to engage, but am hacked off with the fact that you never do seem to back up your comments. And what was with the Louis Vuitton comment on the other thread?

you really are sensitive and humourless aren't you...

the Hennessy label is all a big group - hence the comment about the handbags LVMH group, Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton

You just seem quite angry about Osborne, but you've never told us why.

sensitive yes, humourless no.

Wow, thank you Chucky, I really had no idea!:rotfl:To think, all that time that my brother ... oh I'm not going to bother. It's not that I didn't know what my brother does; it was that I couldn't work out whether the handbag comment was supposed to be funny.

The way the Brown described a cut in NI as "keeping money out of the economy" always annoys me.

angry? about a politician - i don't think so,

i think that he's incompetent and has made a lot of mistakes - yes.

Sharing a boat with Mandelson was probably a mistake. George got a lot of flak for that, so much so that no one seemed to ask "what was Mandelson doing on the boat". Didn't seem to matter. Got to admit, Mandelson is a hell of a player. Wonder what he was doing on the boat anyway?

Anyway "come in 99, your time is up"
