Even Guardian readers now understand just how calamitous Gordon Brown was at No. 11

The following links to a moronic editorial by the Guardian.

Public finances: Broke but not bust yet | Comment is free | The Guardian


Note that almost all of the reader responses clearly articulate the economic devastation that the Prime Mentalist has reaped upon this nation.

Even Grauniad readers finally get it, traditionally amongst the most economically illiterate, and blindingly Labour loyalists, of all newspaper readerships.

Kind regards,

Damo

It's always struck me a strange that we are referred to collectively as 'The Rich West' and yet our debt and economic mismanagement makes even the worst African tin pot hell hole look like the essence of frugality. They even had to replace the nation debt clock in New York last year because it had run out of digits!! That was before President Wonderful's 'spendulous' package and further bail outs too.

Well that is my main source for reliable political commentary too - internet bulletin boards! Well that, and the letters page of the Daily Mail, of course.

Strange that he feels the need to hurl insults to articulate what he believes is a concrete point.

I'd far rather be a Guardian reader than a Daily Wail reader.

While the Guardian is far from perfect I can't think of a better paper in this country.

Certainly number one when it comes to anything science related.
