Hey Guys, let’s all take our Dried Frog Pills and get a few hours of reality here.
The tragedy is that as a direct result of Browns crashing duplicitousness, incompetence, and chicanery and Blair’s odd “let’s ignore history and just do what I want” agenda the UK has been not so much screwed over, as screwed.
If Britain was a private company then it would be in the hands of the receivers and be in the process of being broken up, the Board would be in jail for maladministration and misappropriation of company funds, the shareholders screaming for blood, and the debtors going “ape-droppings” at the prospect of seeing a payment of zero in the pound.
