    LOL - very selective that Howard.

    You could say that if you ignore Brown's role in causing the banking crisis in the first place, going back to 1997 and his regulatory changes and his telling the banks to go out and take risks. It was their resulting buying up of small US banks that exposed them to a lot of the US toxic debt among other problems.

    That of course is also nothing to do with the wider mess he made of the UK economy that resulted in our having a structural deficit at the START of a recession.

    I could repeat the many, many other errors he made that added to our recessionary problems but will refrain from mentioning excessive taxation, red tape on business, taxing pensions schemes, discouraging savings, giving the BoE the wrong inflation brief. I wont mention the sale of gold either.
