Chancellor, Prime Minister, Magician – is there no end to his talents?
Do you remember the far-off days when Gordon Brown the Chancellor promised us an end to the days of “Boom and Bust”, with talks of prudence and a brighter future for the families of Britain? The days when you could look forward to keeping your job, buying that new car and enjoying your well-earned leisure.
Gordon Brown the Prime Minister now sings a different tune. Things are worse than he thought and he “didn’t see it coming”. He’s referring to a recession that could be the worse since the 1930’s.
It seems that even our Polish workers are deserting us and leaving Britain’s recession behind. It’s reported that they are returning to Poland, where their treasury minister believes they are safe from recession. The opinion is that Poland should avoid a recession due to the fact that their banks are “strongly regulated”.
Let us hope that the latest plans of The Brown Government do something to ease the situation and give us something to build on. In the meantime all eyes are on Gordon the Magician as we wait for him to pull something from his hat.
