We can all sleep easy in our beds now.

'Flash Gordon' has saved the world.

Brilliant!!

However, I hadn't realised that the Tories were so superior, that they never have a slip of the tongue!

"We have become a Grandmother!" rather springs to mind.

Really AOG you ought to give the Telegraph a try- you'll find it just as rabidly right wing but much more intelligent.

Never let it be said that I am bias.

I could go on but I think even you Jake will now get the idea.

There that was better from the Guardian wasn't it?

Serious reflection on the incident

At least they didn't feel the need to draw a comic book cartoon for their readers!


Come on step up to the papers for grown ups!

Was it just me or did I hear Cameron scraping a barrel?

I assumed he was going to say either the banking world or the world of banking, he was obviously distracted, which all this hoo hah is also doing , distrcating people from the garbage cameron is hanging onto

Here is an article from October by the 2008 Nobel Prize winner for Economics.

Has Gordon Brown, the British prime minister, saved the world financial system?
O.K., the question is premature � we still don�t know the exact shape of the planned financial rescues in Europe or for that matter the United States, let alone whether they�ll really work. What we do know, however, is that Mr. Brown and Alistair Darling, the chancellor of the Exchequer (equivalent to our Treasury secretary), have defined the character of the worldwide rescue effort, with other wealthy nations playing catch-up.

As Jake has commented on another thread, when the British do something really well, it is ignored, or even worse, as in this case, lampooned.

There are some very unpatriotic people about.

everton123...I am afraid it was just you.
jake.........sorry, it could have happened to anyone, except that Blair would have got out of it.

Its not for Gordon to blow his own trumpet but didn't he save the world by his rescue of the banks and imitated by all the major countries of the world?
