Are you claiming credit to the Labour Party for interest rates being low (despite Gordon B giving resposibility for interest rates to the Bank of England back in 1997?). Or are you saying that high interest rates are a good thing (therefore the current interest rates which you claim as a Labour success are not a good thing)?
Anyway, this whole thread has gone rather off topic. The original question wasn't about Gordon Brown's competence as Chancellor. It was more about the West Lothian Question.

I am saying that lots of voters want low Mortagae rates ...... I, on the other hand, don't give a flying fig ...... I would LIKE HIGH Interest rates from a selfish point of view.
But, and this is where I differ, I will make the most of whatever the world throws at me - and do it well ................ not for me the moaning and whining and griping that some (Like Leslie) engages in.
I get up, dust myself down and crack on ........... losers waste their time crying and blubbing that it's not fair and the Government should wipe their ***** for them!!

Brown for PM? No.Scottish bit doesn't matter,just no.
I am surprised a couple of posters on here don't frequent and post on the brainwashedbylabourbutclaimtobeveryclever.net site.
Think the foxes were missed of the list of '50 things I did at school today'

Jeez - I can't remember a time when Lewis's dementia was quite so bad.
Brown's got short arms and a deep sporran and shouldn't be running the economy.

Erm... you do realise that the BoE has been independent of the Government since 1997, don't you?
