Fundamentally Brown ruined the UK economy. He built a false economic bubble based on:

1. Debt fuelled Govt. spending - with massive waste
2. Consumer Debt
3. Property inflation
4. A badly regulated financial sector.

Instead of taking his time with public service reform and the economy he knee jerked from one decision to the next.

He was presented with the problems as early as 2004 and continued to believe he was invincible.

I say this to those who think he had any ability what do you base your opinion on outside of gut feel / being Labour at heart?

I'm no Tory fan boy but lived through the 70's and saw what had to be fixed. The bottom line is we are at a historic tipping point, the Con Dems need to find the solution. I am over the moon that we have a coalition with Clarke and Cable lending weight. I wish Alistair Darling could be involved.

Eddie George called it right. The economy is so fuxxed that any government that has to fix it will be so unpopular they will be out of power for 30 years. I hope this is not the case, I care about this country.

As for Brown - I thought his speach was from the heart, but I loathe and despise the self centreed useless cxnt. If you want 7,000 words on his failings just ask.

I ain't Labour, and I ain't never will be.

I say he did relatively well because despite having no manufacturing or industrial base, and a monumental debt, and crazy property boom that crashed, somehow the UK still managed to claw its way out of the recession, and avoid a Greece/Ireland/Spain type situation. Those countries are fooked.

I do hope that the Tory/Lib coalition works well. I don't agree with much of what the Tories or the Dems are saying (despite voting Lib Dem) but it seems that for the most part they have cancelled out each other's stupidity. Certainly the early indications are promising, and there are some decent decisions on Cabinet posts. Michael Gove was not made Home Secretary, which is a good thing. Vince Cable could be in quite a good position. So it's promising.
