This is the first time I have used your comment facility it's not that easy, perhaps I've got it wrong but I want to make to points about your financial correspontents piece just after 17.30.
a) Your corespondent seems to have fallen for the Government line that 'the world is in recession'. He failed to make the point that the U.K. is suffering particularly badly because Gordan Brown has so inadequately managed the U.K. economy. I dislike to hear the BBC PM programme so casually boost the Government's chosen line of defence to explain the appalling financial position in which it finds itself.
b) Your Correspondent in the same interview when giving the exchange rate for the Euro/pound at E1.05 to the pound he said that we (presumably the U.K. population) is, and I quote, "getting used to the (low) rate". I, for one, am not "getting used to the present rate". It the awful result of eleven years of financial mismanagement by Gorden Brown as Chancelor and latterly Prime Minister. It is disheartening to hear the BBC being so supine in supporting the Government line on this matter.
