Good list that Lox, some absolute crackers there - Greece eh?? Iceland?? - the Scandinavian countries, socialist nannie states in which you would be complaining about "Big Brother" all the time, plus the fact of course they do pay rather a lot in tax (Norway amongst the richest in the world basic rate is 38%), which you cannot really avoid if you want to live there (small populations mean you cannot hide and to do anything you have to use what they call your "Birth-Number").

No Brown did not engineer the crisis in the global banking system Bill Clinton, Freddie Mac and Fanny May did that. All Brown did was errode our ability to withstand the worst of its ravages.

Pensions - raided to pay for non-jobs
Gold reserve - sold off to pay for non-jobs
"Education, education, education" - complete and utter disaster
NHS - more money thrown at it than you can imagine and it only gets worse and worse
"Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" - complete and utter joke. The ASBO has become a badge of distinction.

Glad to see the back of the lot of them.
