You have to admire Gordon Brown for his tenacity - certainly far more than I ever will be. I have been listening to the Clive Anderson tapes podcasts - which are now two years old - we find that Gordon Brown is still as unpopular then as he is now - this is the continuity. However, when the podcast was recorded Barack Obama was not even the democratic candidate. It seemed a very strange world which I suppose shows how much Obama has changed the world - whether it is for better or worse really depends on your political point of view.
One interesting thing is that the experts interviewed on the programme were really hopeless at predicting the future which make's you wonder why these people are paid so much. Still I suppose I should have known this yet we still hear that dyer warnings from experts today that this or that is going to happen and if we don't do something about it the country will be ruined. There is no doubt some truth in what they say but surely we have reached a point where we should be very sceptical about any prediction as the truth is we really don't know what the future will hold. This is not an argument for denying global warming or that the fiscal deficit is not important it is just that things do not work out as predicted. "...Events, my dear boy events..."
