Not, I fear, until he is ousted as Prime Minister. Gordon Brown has gone one-up on his idiotic call for "markets with morals" - now we need "markets with family values." What in good gracious Graceland are markets with morals, first? Never mind your markets with family values; you never even explained the former, never mind the latter.
The truth is, Gordon, what you want aren't "markets" at all, as we currently know them, in which individual buyers and sellers may trade freely - because in those types of markets the only "values" (whatever the hell that means anyway) are those belonging to the individuals within the market.
What you're talking about is a command economy. with centrally imposed "values" - probably nice words like "fairness" and "prudence", right Gordon? Except you and your government, for the past 12 years, have possessed neither of these virtues.
It amazes me how the Prime Minister can, time and time again, make entire speeches, with words and everything, that say absolutely nothing of any substance or intellectual rigour at all. He's a bloody joke, and probably my least favourite man on the planet. "Markets with family values" doesn't mean anything. It's nonsense. It's an attempt, I think, to "outfamily" Call Me Dave, while also appeasing the Left with more talk of regulation. But it's just a soundbite, empty, totally devoid of any substance.
This is all our leader has got, in a time of economic peril: a ridiculously bad soundbite?
How did we come to this?
