'Not my fault Guv'
Gordon Brown is trying to present a clear message about the dire economic situation facing Britain, -'none of it,' he says, 'is his fault it is all down to international events beyond his control.' This of course contrasts very strangely with his claim that from 1997-2007 the (credit fuelled), economic boom we enjoyed was all because of his actions as Chancellor and none of it was due to international events!
