Or maybe for treason.
If the following is true, then Brown and Balls are conspiring in the ruination of the British economy for Party political advantage and in contravention of their Ministerial Oaths.
A recent study by two eminent US economic historians shows that if you date the start of the current recession to April 2008 and that of the Great Depression to June 2009, then this recession, thus far, fully matches the early part of the Great Depression. Industrial output has fallen by the same amount. Our stock market has actually declined by a far larger amount (taking into account the recent rise) than the corresponding period in the Great Depression. The authors sum it up starkly: "...we are tracking or doing even worse than the Great Depression...This is [so far] a Depression-sized event". However, the good news is, because of what we have learned since the Great Depression, I believe we can avert such a disaster again. Problem is, this government is showing little willingness to implement the lessons we have learned, as their implementation could, in its view, jeopardise a Labour election victory.From here.
Henceforth known as Labourgate.
