LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Thursday there was a need to look at "irresponsible behaviour" in financial markets following the global crisis that has seen banks collapse.

"I think we've got to look at where there has been irresponsible behaviour and I've said for some time that we need reforms in the system," he said in remarks carried on TV networks.

"I believe there is now an audience that agrees with me that we should do more. We've got to clean up the financial system. We don't want these problems recurring in the future."

So let me get this fucking straight, this cunt has known for a long time that the banks and financial institutions have been running amok with bad practices, and that it would most likely cause some catastrophe. Yet as leader of the country, he didn't do anything about it. Then he has the gall to go on and state, that we must clean them up now to avoid a reoccurance of the disaster that is still going on and is actually yet to finish.

Every thinking person in the country has known whats coming for sometime, in some cases years, and yet right at the start of the crisis he announces that all along he was aware of the dodgy practices and wants to do something about them.

Fuck off your Cunt...........................................



Ere.........Gordon this would'nt have been one case of the irresponsible behaviour you was going on about, would it?:

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Gordon Brown told Lloyds TSB Chairman Victor Blank on Monday there would not be a competition inquiry into the bank's takeover of domestic rival HBOS, Blank said.
