Its my View

Gordon Brown said:

“I am naturally concerned that the taxpayer gets a fair deal – especially that the taxpayer gets a fair deal from the institutions that in the last year have benefited massively from support across the world.”

So does Gordon Brown think that this is a fair deal for the taxpayers?

Borrowing billions of pounds in their name and expecting them to pay extra taxes for the next 25 years in order to pay the debts?

I just wonder how much would need to have been borrowed to prevent the closure of shops like Woolworths, which employed lots of people.

And I have also said many times that these banks should not be allowed to get rid of any staff on a non-voluntary basis. They have been given billions of taxpayers money, yet are allowed to fire staff! This not only adds to the unemployment levels, brings the miseries of families losing homes, and removes yet more spending power by people in employment.

There does not appear to be any joined up thinking in the way that Brown and Darling are managing the UK economy!
