Why not 6 months ago Jeremy? Love how politicians react to something 3 months after it has happened saying "We are on top of it"

The MPs and their friends will be okay though, and thats all that matters.

Even with the economic fluctuation, I'm so
excited I've been earning $45, 000 from my

MP Hunt mentions the USA, Germany and the problems their facing , He then said the Global problems are causing all the difficulties we are all facing, then he says Britain is doing such and such a thing better than other’s ? The presenter reminds Mr Hunt Britain’s almost at the bottom, Mr Hunt’s defense is during the last twelve years of Global problems Britain’s always been at the top. ? Should this chap be the Chancellor ? Britain’s at the bottom because of the Global problems we are having at the moment, ?, He tells us ? The fella also told us during the last twelve years of Global problems Britain was top ? Methinks He’s a bit thick !
