Prime Minister for 27 more days, Gordon Brown this morning faced questions from BBC's John Humphries. In the broadcast, Humphries asked (repeatedly) whether the PM regrets having told the people and businesses for years to "spend, spend, spend, because under Labour the cycles of Boom & Bust have been eradicated?"
The PM, with his trademark preacher-like sonoric voice, stuttered along repetitiously: "John, John, John, listen, the the the i-i-international banks have have have let us down down down down."
BBC: "International banks? Like RBS? Weren't you alarmed that RBS 'grew' from £60bn balance sheet in one year to £2 trillion - greater than the UK's GDP - two years later, based on money they didn't have?"
Brown: "Look, look, John John, they purchased more and and and more companies ..."
BBC: "... with money they didn't have! Sorry for interrupting, PM."
Brown: "That that that is not true John John John, look, they just didn't substantiate the funds for the acquisitions."
WTF? What's the difference between 'not having the money' and 'not be able to substantiate the money'? Classical Labour spin to obscure deceit and incompetence. When Brown declines to express regret he does so for the lack of a conscience.
