This sums up Gordon Brown very well. He is a very intelligent man and an excellent economist, but one slip of the tongue and he gets ridiculed

If he had not reacted to the banking crisis we would have incurred a recession like no other. However the less informed still bang on about "selling our gold" nonsense.

@@cheeseymattybob He was a useless clunking fist, and a lousy Chancellor. He took Keynesianism and turned it on his head - he pissed all the money up the wall, even in the good times pre-2007. Keynes says you're meant to run a surplus then but he ran a deficit in good times and bad.

He Saved the world, and they laughed. They laughed. And its funny that David Cameron laughed at him too, considering being the catalyst for brexit.

I’ve always thought it an odd reaction. Throughout the World Gordon Brown is given huge credit for coordinating the rescue of the banking system and, yes, effectively fir Saving the World. Only in the Commons do they sneer and mock him.

It’s a shame for Gordon as his answer was otherwise perfect; he clearly knew what he was talking about. I’m a right winger but in hindsight I would’ve voted for him instead of Cameron; Brown was actually less of a Blairite in a lot of ways.

I think he was about to say "Saved the world's economy" but he corrected himself because what he actually meant was.. "Saved the world's economy being banked by Tokyo, rather than London" Think on tories. Maybe he did you some harm, but what he saved you from was far worse.
