Dick Smith Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 He's a very, very clever man, and comes from a 'political' background. He is well set for leadership one day, it may just not be yet.Don't fall into the trap of just denigrating politicians because they are politicians.

Gastines Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Perhaps G.B. and his Darling may have the smile wiped off their chops this morning as EDF havepulled out of the Nuclear Power sellout. About 9+million they will have to find somewhere else.Still trying to figure out if D.S. is related to G.B. P.M. or which part of the Civil Service.Regards.

Patmobile Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Mr Brown is very clever - maybe even more clever than the one with two brains - he should be teaching PPE in a good grammar school somewhere. Oh, I forgot, there aren't any left.But that doesn't mean he can't act stupidly some or most of the time. 2 examples:1. When he decided to sell off a large part of Britain's gold reserves all at once, he announced his decision to the world long before doing it. Result - the market wrote down the price of gold in anticipation of tons of it becoming available. Brown knows all about the theory of supply and demand but he wouldn't listen to anyone when they told him that, in real-world practice, his plans would cost the country billions.2. He recently lectured OPEC on the price of oil. Told them, quite rightly, that the industrial nations would have a hard time and could go into recession if they didn't do something to reduce the price. (i.e produce more). If that were to happen, he predicted, almost certainly correctly again, the price would drop like a stone when demand turned down sharply, as it does in a world recession, which would be uncomfortable for the OPEC members. At the same time he informed them that Britain and other western industrialised nations would be taking major steps to reduce their reliance on the OPEC products in future. Clever, eh? Negotiate wth your major suppliers to get a lower price, but while doing so tell them you're going to stop buying their only product as soon as possible anyway. I don't think any corner shopkeeper would have made such a basic error in price negotiationsMr Brown has got 2 brains. One of them is evidently very clever, the other must be moronic.
