Brown really is going bonkers

At Davos Brown has said the global financial reminds him of Titian the famous painter who after finishing his 100th painting at age 90 said he was only just learning how to paint.

As opposed to Brown who after 10 years in charge of our economy realised he had not a clue that loads of debt was bad and that low savings was also bad. In fact if lenders are allowed to relax lending criteria and create a housing bubble, then this is learning the lessons rather than a resigning matter.

Who established our regulatory framework that failed to regulate the banks properly?

'tis a shame Cameron didn't try an intell;igent response like this rather than prattling on about Titian's age when he died and then getting one of his cronies to try and change a Wikipoedia entry so that that agreed with what he (Cameron) said Titian's age was when he snuffed it. Now the Tories have been found out they look rather silly. Nochange there then I guess ...
