Of course, that is unless you go back and edit what you said, just as you have inserted the word 'accused' in the piece about John Leslie.<BR/><BR/>And if it is just about the world economy, why the reference to "2 million unemployed by Christmas". Is that a global figure or does it (as would seem blindingly obvious) refer to the UK?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-22325603848836345512008-08-30T13:15:00.000+01:002008-08-30T13:15:00.000+01:00I DID NOT say Leslie was convicted of rape. I said...I DID NOT say Leslie was convicted of rape. I said he was accused of rape. Are you a complete idiot? Whoever you are? A feeble idiot who won't even take credit for your own thoughts?<BR/><BR/>Your other comment is just twaddle. <BR/><BR/>Darling clearly meant the World Economy was facing 60-year worst problem (external) and was not saying Britain's economy had worst downturn (internal). Even the great fibber GOO Osborne WILL NOT claim it is when offered the chance to say that.<BR/><BR/>It is arrant nonsense that's why. Even Osborne won't risk going that far. In that sense the headline used on p1 is grossly misleading.<BR/><BR/>The political editor of the Guardian has taken a friendly interview carried out over two days in someone's home and pulled a couple of matter of fact statements out of context.<BR/><BR/>The other being the idea that people are pissed off with Labour's actions when Darling says they are pissed off because we have not explained ourselves clearly enough.<BR/><BR/>Quite different.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679067503215414300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-5934476191553275222008-08-30T13:01:00.000+01:002008-08-30T13:01:00.000+01:00Oh, and could you tell me when John Leslie was con...Oh, and could you tell me when John Leslie was convicted of rape?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-39138903954635238002008-08-30T12:35:00.000+01:002008-08-30T12:35:00.000+01:00There was no word missed out, Chris.

You have managed to replace one with another, however.<BR/><BR/>Here's the quote:<BR/><BR/>"Britain is facing arguably the worst economic downturn in 60 years which will be "more profound and long-lasting" than people had expected."<BR/><BR/>Not "thoe world" as you quote but "Britain".<BR/><BR/>And even in the unlikely example of you being right - why would a world downturn affect Britain anyway? After all, we were repeatedly promised "an end ro boom and bust". No caveats about world events, just "an end to boom and bust".<BR/><BR/>So, what's the worry?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
