Marr Eviscerates Gordon Brown
The final video from Miranda Hart's BBC2 retrospective on 2009, in which we see Andrew Marr go for Gordon Brown's jugular.
In reality he would have blocked the questions with a stream of tractor production stats and then minced off in a huff like he did at the interview with Adam Boulton.
Revenues to April are targeted to be GBP 440 billion by Darling. That's only going to happen if the economy kicks back to life which it is not. The figure could well be nearer GBP 410 billion.
In April 2008, revenues were GBP 606 billion per annum.
We are talking an over 30% fall in government revenues.
And that's before we express grave doubts as the accuracy of the projected spending figures, given as GBP 620 billion.
The finances are way beyond staggeringly out of all control.

Funny. But not half as funny as P.D. James' real life evisceration of the BBC's chief Mark Thompson on the "Today" programme.
Not funny.
very unfunny
That'll be the day.

Dan Hannan's was the funniest demolition of Brown I've ever seen and I don't think he will ever allow himself to be exposed to that degree of humiliation again (although his kneejerk YouTube clip on the expenses scam was a cracker).
very amusing!
not so amusing are the finances.

Where is the media on this?.
Gordon lives in total denial of the financial reality around him. The media is cowed. The result will be an explosive crash.
