Axis of Evil: Iceland

Gordon Brown assured us that the period of boom and bust is over. To suggest otherwise is to doubt his integrity.

It's his sanity and common sense I question and why does he always look like a cow chewing cud when he speaks in that weird accent ?

I heard that the Icelandic banks were in deep trouble months ago and that they were on the verge of bankruptcy. If I heard about it, and ignored it because I had no money there, why didn't the professionals who had placed their clients' money there pay more attention?

Its absolutely the right thing to criticize Gordon for this. It is right that we take this action now and it would be wrong to do anything else

It's an outrage so much British Government cash was held in a foreign bank in the first place.
It should all be held in a government owned British bank.

Always reminds me of Magaluf this song.
