So, Mr Roberts would like me to shut up. Well Sir, I will if you will.
The trouble with Mr Roberts is that he only values his own opinion even when he is wrong. The more lucid of us know that the credit crunch started in America, when people with low credit ratings were unable to pay their higher debt payments to mortgage lenders, these properties were then repossessed and were meant to be sold at a profit, but by then the market had nose-dived, so huge losses were incurred.
As banking is now a global business this sent shock waves around the world affecting us all.
To blame the Prime Minister for it is not only ridiculous, but wrong.
Since then, the government has had to bail out the banks with billions of taxpayers' money, and I for one hope, for all our sakes, that it works.
What were they supposed to do? Allow all the banks to go to the wall, taking our life savings with them?
In an article in The Observer recently, the chairman of the I.M.F. stated that Gordon Brown's handling of the present crisis has been spot on, and I believe in giving credit where its due even though I did not vote for him, unlike Mr Roberts who criticises everyone. Still, we can all sleep soundly in our beds, safe in the knowledge that Mr Roberts is not, and is very unlikely to become, our country's leader, and he can only carry on with his Victor Meldrew impressions in the Review. – P.
