Darling's PM was Gordon Brown, who received plaudits from the EU, WTO, IMF, in fact just about everywhere but the UK media and Tories, for how he handled the consequences of the late night phone call from a major bank who wanted to let him know capitalism had run out of capital, no bank would lend working capital to any other bank because no-one knew what the banks were actually worth any more, the wheels were off and the cash machines would be empty by Monday.rebeccariots2 wrote:Robert Oxley @roxley 8s8 seconds ago
Osborne says this is how any Chancellor would respond. Darling faced with an actual crisis in 2008 chose precisely opposite fiscal policies
Osborne, on the other hand, has a shifty PR man called Cameron. With Johnson, Smith, Gove, Fox, Patterson et al waiting in the wings to knife the pair of them for not being sufficiently right wing.
Meanwhile our media has spent nearly a year now focussed on the task of undermining Corbyn in favour of someone, anyone, who is more like Johnson, Gove etc. That, and telling lies about the the EU on behalf of it's billionaire owners just as it has for the last 4 decades.
If no drivers cannot pass the test then we might get new trains? No, you are right, it's never going to happen.
