We've lent £185bn to banks 03:05am on 04 Feb 2009 201)

I agree - lets put the new labour jackass out to pasture.
Blubbing bankers 11:28am on 30 Jan 2009 October 12th 2008

'UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said he believes confidence in the banking system will be restored by global action "in the next few days". '

Today
'Brown called for "clear reforms" of the financial system to be agreed at the G20 meeting of leading economies in April to rebuild trust in banks'

Errr hmmmm what happened.

I wonder if the ppl of davos are getting tired of brown monotone dialogue - its clear the plans he has put forward have been knee jerk reaction and have not worked.

This situation needs more creative thinking and long term planning from fresh talent, browns had his shot at glory and missed by a long way.

Perhaps brown could still fill a vital role in the April meeting - he could make the tea.
The long and short of banks 3:42pm on 23 Jan 2009 185) onward-ho

'Do the needful Gordon.....

GET Ed IN
and
KICK Disaster Ali-Pants OUT! '

I agree Mr Ed the talking horse would actually be a major improvement for Gordon’s crack (or is that cracked) team.

That’s September to Novembers figures - does not include Decembers or this months.

Given the high profile job losses at places like Woolworth’s in December, I dare say it will be just over 2 million when febs figures are released.
Rescuing the economy, not banks 02:13am on 20 Jan 2009 Pound is down to $1.42812

Rbs + Barclays share hit profoundly.

Are we facing another serious meltdown ?

'Do you like Kipling?
I don't know, I've never Kipled.'

Boom Boom

naa but i do like Mr kipling cakes :P

'He lost his head too did he not?'

Before that Daniel Dravot took a plunge into a deep chasm after being discovered he was a fraud.
Collapse of confidence in banks 8:30pm on 19 Jan 2009 Gordon Browns story is looking more like a mirror of Daniel Dravot everyday (man who would be king)
Lend, lend, lend 02:17am on 19 Jan 2009 202 rahere

Thanks read up on the previous posts it did answer my question and made the fsa role clearer.

I am the first to admit when it comes to the economy I am still learning.

This blog plus ppl like yourself, robert peston and other resources have been a fascinating insight, and i have learnt a lot.

Problem is the more I learn especially about the current situation the more annoyed I get.
Lend, lend, lend 10:43pm on 18 Jan 2009 If all these UK banks have so much bad dept what has the Gordon Browns FSA being doing all these years.

Surly this amount of toxic poo as Robert Peston calls it cannot have gone unnoticed.

Only answer that makes sense to me Gordon Brown ripped apart the regulators and replaced them with the fsa.

A under funded, under talented not fit for purpose on the cheap body.

That makes Brown directly responsible for fair amount of the mess we are in not the just the USA.

I think its fair to now say Gordon Brown failed in his responsibility during the first bail out to demand full disclosure of the amounts of debts the UK banks hold, he threw money at them blindly without a clear understanding of what the situation was.

Then he ran around like a headless chicken patching up the economy with mortgage initiatives interest rate cuts, vat cuts while the real problem was still with the banks.

So where is all that money we injected into the banks gone?

Now Gordon and Darling wants to do it again – they want the taxpayer to essentially insure the bad debts these banks incurred, that makes me nervous for the future of my tax bills.

I don’t think Brown and Darling are competent enough to be allowed continue.

Brown and Darling should resign immediately, and an emergency cabinet of the top minds in economics appointed until the next election.

So much for Browns statement the uk is best placed to ride out the downturn.

Peston fancy a new job.
The cost of bringing banks home 6:12pm on 14 Jan 2009 206) Toldyouitwould

Minister: " Green Shoots "

Hmmm.

What colour is Gangrene? labour red with a hint of G brown.

Almost as bad as the uk is the best placed to deal with the downturn which is clearly not the case.

or recovery by mid 2009.
