This is who will pay for Brown’s debt binge

Gordon Brown is hoping that the sheer size of the borrowing numbers that Alistair Darling announced on Monday will stop people from comprehending them. But we hope that this video—adapted from the brilliant one that won MoveOn’s competition to design an ad against Bush in 2004— will bring home the consequences of this debt. On Monday, Brown decided to saddle each British household with a £40,000 debt by 2013 with interest payments collected through the tax system for decades. This will be Brown’s legacy to Britain.
