Brown's scorched earth policy.

Interesting article in the Spectator here today.

As noted elsewhere, Brown is about to break his golden fiscal rules and the treasury are desperately trying to fiddle the figures.

It would appear that Brown may be about to go on a spending spree as it is the next Tory government that will have to pay for this mess.

Why the government cannot cut back on spending as everybody else is having to do I do not know.
