Only the other day at that great gathering of economic minds, President Sarkozy was blaming the bankers for the crises in France and in the EU. There is clearly a tendency for Conservatives here in the UK to blame it all on Labour, but of course its just their way of spinning in the political blame game. Clearly Labour were not responsible for the crises in France in Ireland in..well everywhere.
Cutting out the politics we all know the crises started in the US in the mortage sector and massive banks like Lehman Brother took a powder. The financial shock wave from this reverberated around the globe. Again nothing to do with Labour. We can blame dear oul Gordon for lots of things but I think its just political gesturing to blame him for the banking or economic crises. Sure governments everywhere play a role, some are more prepared than others, but the economic crises was and is everywhere. So not the fault of one individual government.
Andrew Marr told a very good joke yesterday morning on his show..it went like this.
Whats the difference between a dead cat on the motorway and a dead banker on the motorway...
there are skid marks for the cat!!
That one made me laugh!
