Gordon Goes Whining to the Dominie

Britain today expressed its concern at the 100% guarantee of deposits in Irish banks, and has brought the matter up with the EU. A spokesman for Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "We just want the Irish government to look quite closely at the arrangements they are putting in place to make sure they comply with EU competition law."

Brown doesn't like the Irish making him put our money where his mouth is.

My man-in-the-street view is that Brown lacks political survival instincts, somehow. He can't feel the run of the tide.

Didn't Brown waive the UK competition law a few days ago? What's the difference?

He is nobody to be asking the EC to investigate banks and competition!

TWAT! Pardon my French.
