Perhaps Darling is preparing for post Brown era?

In the last post I was extolling the performance of UK chancellor Alistair Darling, when I read a piece wondering why he had not turned up to the Davos forum but did find time to give an interview to a left wing magazine. Perhaps Darling is preparing for the post Gordon Brown era. In any event when the Chancellor warned about the possible severity of the recession last year he was stamped on by the Prime
Minister.
It is Darling, who is having to put in the donkey work on the British bank rescue plans. Brown is trying to avoid admitting any blame for the current predicament, which makes him look a not very sympathetic character. "No boom and bust" and "British jobs for British workers" now just look crass. Sucking up to the Chinese, what was that all about? It would be nice if they were interested in democracy as in free trade. I hoped that Brown told the Chinese to stop trying to hack into UK government sites.

The snow chaos and the loss of output make us look us third rate. The foreigners holed up at Heathrow must wonder if they are lost in a parallel universe. Obviously,
Gordon Brown is not responsible for the weather but it is another event, which shows
the UK off in a poor light. You get the impression is that the touchy-feely policies of the past few years have brought the country close to collapse. Councils say they can't spend the money on preparing for weather conditions that normally happen once in every 18 years but Westminster Council performed very well what about the
others?
I apologise for sounding like Victor Meldrew but when Gordon Brown says we are well-prepared to ride out the recession because corporate debt is low he is obviously not thinking of pub companies and housebuilders. I think he is off his head.
