Who Killed Longbridge?

The Birmingham Post headlines that Brown vetoed a loan that would have saved 6000 car workers jobs and thousands of suppliers' jobs in Spring 2005. He was acting on advice from Shriti Vadera, his notorious advisor at the Treasury,who has also been appointed to a permanent seat in the United Kingdom legislature.

All efforts under FOI legislation to prise information from the government about the sudden withdrawal of the bridging loan have been resisted at all costs by New Labour's regime.

Just read the news article assuming Brown was in deceit, then you'll get a result.

Of course, this commercially naive 'government' were all piddling about with things about which, they hadn't a clue - except to ponce their political postures at all and sundry.

I don't think it's cluelessness, Scrobs. Not the Longbridge story that ran for decades and is at the centre of so many government/union/Party/corruption struggles. Not to mention the cars/steel/south Asian links.

There is no legal reason that delays the wider publication of the Inquiry.

He vetoed a loan that would have "saved" the jobs of probably-Labour-voting car workers in the Midlands, but bankrupted the country to get greedy bankers off the hook?

The man is not even competent by his own values.

Election now! (I wish)
