GORDON BROWN IS THE WORST CHANCELLOR WE HAVE HAD?

Brown has always been out of touch with common sense.

First of all he banged the communist drum at a time when the Soviet Union was threatening with intent to wipe us off the map.

Then pretending to take up capitalism to become electable, but distorting it (PFI for example) to run an Enron economy. Such have been his moves off-balance sheet that he would now be in gaol for a lengthy term if he were a company FD.

Next, virtually destroying the financial jewel he inherited that was the entire UK's company and private pensions schemes.

Now, remorselessly raising taxes when all sensible countries are lowering theirs.
