Very true. Serving to illustrate my point. Governments do it to hide the true number of unemployed.

Good points. He was a helluva looker though.

You honestly believe a PM has much of a say in what banks do? Come off it. The difference between Brown and Cameron is that Cameron gets involved to profit out of it. I've never voted labour in my life but Cameron is a malevolent profiteer and the worst leader the Conservatives have ever had...

Yes. it's a bitter pill for simplistic Brown bashers to swallow. The man knew what he was doing.

Gordon Brown had watertight policies to halt a global recession. He was ignored.

You still receive 60 quid a week on work placement from government coffers so that is clearly not being employed. The NEA is designed to get people off JSA before the next election. I know that because my NEA mentor told me in January that is exactly what it is designed for, it's basically a...

I agree with William Keegan, writing in This Is Money that given the chance to play out his economic policy he would have averted the mess we are in, as his proven track record attests to. Too many people are quick to blame someone from thepast for the present problems, it makes them feel...

How can I explain it to the willfully ignorant? You are probably right mate, I I'm, sure it is all just tickity boo and Cameron is being 100% transparent

Brown was appalling at public presentation, that was why he was out, not his economic policy. However, we will never know but I have heard various economists (I will try and source) stating that they believed his policy of reacting differently than previous governments as far back as the 30's...

Gordon Brown. When he was given free reign he actually pulled together solid plan. It's a fact.

All total flummery I'm afraid. If you class NEA or work placement as employment you are sorely mistaken.

Let's be clear about one thing. VERY clear. Unemployment is NOT down. The number of people on JOBSEEkERS is down. Two very, very different things. Cameron has made draconian reforms to unemployment benefit over the last 18 months and forcibly removed people from JSA, those who were clever enough...

Gordon Brown had a solid recovery plan in place and would have cleared up Blair's mess in a couple of years. Cameron is using the economic crisis to amass more wealth for himself and his business contacts not least by clawing back some of the wealth that was redistributed by the Labour party in...
