    Looking forward to more years of Brown and Darling.

    Telegraph:
    If it fails, banking experts say the only option left for Mr Brown will be full nationalisation of the banking system.

    In a statement to the City, the Treasury said the Asset Protection Scheme scheme is expected to operate for "not less than 5 years."
    Looks like Brown's horizon is at least 5 years then .......

      "In an unprecedented step Mr Brown today changed the maximum time between elections from 5 to 15 years. The act was made under anti-terrorism legislation that does not require a vote in Parliament. Spokesmen at No 10 were unavailable for comment"

        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
