"It's not Brown's. It's Balls."
The reference is to a notorious 1994 speech by UK Chancellor Gordon Brown, which rather clumsily referred to 'post neo-classical endogenous growth theory'. Tory Michael Heseltine retorted: "It's not Brown's. It's Balls." This was a reference to Brown's economic advisor, Ed Balls.
