    Since Gordon came to power

    Terrorist attacks
    Floods
    Foot and mouth
    Northern Rock


    He's Jinxed
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              You mean from 1997 when he had the purse strings:

              Removing dividend tax relief on pensions reducing the UKs pension scheme to one of the worst performing in the EU

              Removing £40b public spending (PFI) off the UK plc balance sheet to give the impression that UK plc is doing great

              Won't build more prisons because he can't put it on PFI

              The highest taxation burden in history through misdirection using over 66 new stealth taxes

              Declared a Tory idea of independence of the BoE as his own, but filled the committee with his cronies (watch "Merv the Swerve" get the scapegoat of the year prize)

              Manipulated the official inflation rate by altering the basket and influencing the "independent" ONS

              Increased public sector jobs and inflation to unprecedented levels

              The creation of more quangos than people on IB

              Created an illusion of reduced unemployment while furthering the previous government's trend of fiddling the stats by moving people off unemployment onto what is referred to as Incapacity Benefits

              Disregarded advice from the Bank of England before he sold off more than half the country’s gold reserves at the bottom of the market.

              Encouraging easy credit to give the impression of a great economy which is fueled on record debt levels (£1.3 trillion)

              And most recently, sent a message out to all financial institutes that it's OK to go to Vegas, put all your client's money on red and lose, because there are plenty of taxpayers out there who will bail you out (can you imagine the Tories doing that for the BCCI?)

              Yeah, he's an unlucky *****...

                  Don't forget selling all the tax offices to a tax haven then lecturing us on tax avoidance!
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
