Speaking in Hokkaido yesterday, the Prime Minister admitted that Britain was facing a "difficult economic time", but insisted that it was not a fault of his leadership. "Every country in the world is facing a difficult economic time because of what has happened in oil prices and food prices," said Mr Brown. "I think I am the right person to take people through these difficult times."
Mr Brown's "reassuring words" illuminate a thousand reasons for why I feel more and more pessimistic about politics & politicians. If the concerns of politicians are primarily directed at convincing potential voters of why they are not to blame for the present economic situation, then the future does not look good. And I strongly doubt that the economic crisis of the world is resolved by the Genius of Mr. Brown.
