Gordon Brown might not have been the one who pulled the trigger on the “gun” that caused the recession but he is the one who supplied the bankers with the gun supplied them with the ammo and gave the nod wink that they could run riot with the economy without personal repercussions. Gordon Brown is economically short sighted and was happy to get small immediate gains in exchange for a recession that was going to happen as a result of his failed policies. Labour would have had no reason to try and defend Gordon Brown legacy if they had had the guts the honesty and the competency to get rid of him. But they acted like craven politicians rather than leaders and the weakest prime minister in living memory managed to fend of the feeblest of leadership challenges.
If you throw a drowning man a life ring and you where the one who pushed him in the first place you are no hero, Gordon Brown is as much a villain in this as the Bankers.
I have edited this to include and excellent comment made by John Williams on the BBC website. "Although a lifelong supporter of the labour party, I fully agree with David Cameron in that Gordon Brown should have known the risks he was taking with the British economy, but obviously did'nt. His attempt at the premiership was woefull and he shouldn't be let near a position of power or responsibility ever again."
