Is it not time somebody apologised for the mess they have dropped us in?
Brown and Bush talk as if this crisis was an Act of God rather than an act
of gross incompetence by the banks, and political opportunism by Bush and
Brown, the latter having spent this past decade basking in the joys of a
debt ridden boom in total oblivion to what they would sooner or later drop
on us. No apology, no humility, nothing. History will judge them the most
incompetent administrations for 70 years.


I somehow doubt that. How about some other candidates, like Edward Heath's administration which took us into what was the European Common Market, now the much-despised (by your and your fellow-travellers) EU? Or how about the Thatcher administration, for dismantling much that was good about Britain and laying the foundations for the selfish, greed-is-good, let's sell off all our assets to another country's nationalised industry modern dynamic state? Or for bending over backwards to hamstring British Steel at Ronnie Reagan's behest, just because the Americans couldn't compete against us in the world market? Or for turning much of industrial Britain into a wasteland and blighting the lives of millions of workers whose skills were suddenly not worth a damn?

With your encyclopaedic knowledge of all facets of government and good management of the economy, it's such a shame that that you choose not to give us the benefit of your immense expertise BEFORE calamities such as these overtake us. I've always thought it a great pity that you have not collected all your pearls of wisdom into a little guide that could be supplied to all incoming heads of government, thereby enabling them to avoid all these problems that they seem to get us into. Come to that, given your unrivalled prescience about financial disasters, as evidenced by your always having known in advance that they were going to occur, it's a wonder that the heads of government all round the world haven't already beaten a path to your door, begging for just a few magical words that would put them on the straight and narrow.

Ah, well, one can't have everything, I suppose; we should all just be grateful that you choose to grace us with your time and have given of yourself so selflessly to provide us with the warm and comforting reassurance that, when things go badly wrong, you always knew it was going to happen.

Thanks very much.
