Pericles

I have said before if politicians keep agreeing that something must be done, and this is what we will do, and agree then be afraid, very afraid. If somebody does not argue against Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling then they will say you didn't say anything and therefore you agree with us.

May I suggest that a quote from Pericles would be appropriate, 'the worst thing is to rush into action before the consequences have been properly debated' History of the Peloponnesian War.

We are told that this global recession has come from nowhere and that nobody saw it coming, I disagree but that's another story. So, if it was then the powers that be who did not see it coming, no more boom and bust, then surely they are rushing into action, unless they did of course actually see it coming but did nothing to warn us, nor do anything to prevent it.
