Strong words from German's finance minister
So who's right in this "tiff", Germany's Finance minister or Gordon Brown.

I'm alright Jack -
I disagree with everything Gordon days. But I also disagree with anything a GErman says. Can they both be wrong? -
The German's wrong as usual. As Napoleon famously said of some Germans, "Don't interfere when they're making a big mistake"
Except in a broad corsican accented french, of course.Comment

The German must be right.
Look at it logically. Gordon Brown has been wrong in nearly everything he's done for the last 11 years, as evidenced by our economy being in a far worse mess than anyone else, so why should it be any different this time?
I'll say that again, the German must be right. It's like saying "runner-bean flavoured ice cream", isn't it.Comment

Well the UK's GDP has decreased by 25% simply through devaluation. Most economies are shrinking by 1 or 2%.I'm alright JackComment

It's even worse when one considers the last 10 odd years of growth in GDP has been an illusion, being actually PFI and invented civil service jobs.Originally posted by ratewhore View PostComment
