    I did not see the Marr show but I would not expect much of it, Marr, after all, is fully signed up to the NuLab project.

    Brown get away lightly when interviewed with Marr and I can pretty much guess what Brown was saying.

    Blaming everyone else for the problems, accepting no responsibility himself, the words 'global' and 'America' would have featured highly. He would have tried to pretend that other countries are worse off than the UK....

    All very predictable.

    He will not have been adequately tackled over why it is sterling that has collapsed, for instance. If the UK was better able to cope with the recession than the USA and other Eurpean countries why has sterling devalued by around 30% against the Dollar and Euro? He will not have been properly challenged over the IMF, OECD and EU assessments that say the UK is the worse placed developed country in the face of the recession.

    He will not have been tackled over his botched changes to the way banks are regulated. In 1997 he changed the system that worked well for decades, a change that led to banks getting away with bad lending practices and the BoE keeping interest rates too low for too long.

    What about the appalling levels of Government debt? This is a key reason for us to be so badly placed and his answer, to borrow more!!! Utterly crazy economics.

    So he has re-cycled claims that he will create 100,000 extra jobs, so what. His economic mismanagement means that estimates for unemployment are between 2.75m and 3.5m within the next year or two. His 100,000 are a drop in the ocean.

    The fact is he is floundering around from one bungled solution to another. The man is totally incompetenent, a joke.
