If you think that this mess has anything at all to do with Blair and
Brown, then you haven't been listening properly
If you think it doesn't then I can recommend a bit of DIY research:
just buy a few drinks for ex-Treasury officials who worked with Brown
and the 2 Eds.

As B&B didn't take us into the Euro, and weren't in power when the,
now discredited, bailout was negotiated, I fail to see how they can
have anything to do with "today's" mess

Which one? The current Euro mess was nowt to do with B&B.

Our mess, OTOH, has a *lot* to do with them. Also, it has a fair bit to
do with the Merkin mess.


The mess is global. There is a tectonic shift occurring in the world.
The period of ascendancy of the so-called West (Europe + the US) is
coming to an end. Meet the new boss ...
