This from The Telegraph:

A confidential document presented to the Cabinet in January 2006 asks: “We’ve spent all this money, but what have we got for it?”

It warns that the efficiency of the public sector needed to improve rapidly and insisted that “spending growth will slow”. The document drafted by civil servants also says that “ineffective spending” must be “closed down”.

However, Gordon Brown discarded the advice and embarked on a £90 billion increase in spending when he became prime minister.

The expenditure meant that the economy was left facing a record deficit as the effects of the recession were felt.

Possibly knowing that Labour’s time was up, Brown proceeded to spend and spend. Not only is this man an idiot for selling gold at an historic low, he then went on to spend us nearly to bankruptcy.

We, the people of the UK, should demand that these men (and women?) be prosecuted for fraud and mismanagement.

This was our money, and now we are spending -more- of our money bailing businesses and banks out.

I don’t understand why we think it ok that they did this, and yet you hear of people going to prison for embezzling a few thousand. These men, these elected officials, should be looking after all citizens equally, but they nearly destroyed this nation (and, if you consider devolution started by Labour, have).
