From the response to the last post on this subject I get the impression that people around here don’t much care if the government can did itself out or not. Some readers of The Bright Stuff have asked how I can justify wanting Labour to win the next election? But more of that later.
First I want to examine the horror of the situation a little.
I have finally read the Independent on Sunday’s interview with HBOS whistleblower Paul Moore. Jaw-dropping or what! It’s always wrong to leave the Sindy till last in the weekend reading pile because so often it punches above its weight. It would be one of the saddest victims of the recession if it is forced to close.
Sometimes interviews produce a killer quote and for me this is it: “Brown presided over a policy based on excessive consumer spending based on excessive consumer credit based on massively increasing property prices, which were caused by excessively easy credit which could only ultimately lead to disaster.
