Re: LQD: UK New Sense of Direction?? (4.00 / 2)

Quite the contrary, while there are some nice-sounding ideas (let's see if they make it through the Commons), there doesn't seem to be any direction at all in Brown's thinking.

Honestly, I don't see how he recovers from the 10p catastrophe. How do you argue for helping low-wage workers with savings when you just raised their income taxes?

Brown's vision is essentially that of a less coherent, and mildly retarded, Alan Greenspan.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
