[Margaret Pilkington]

I said on the run up to the election, that whoever won it, they would find it a poison chalice, because of the rampant spending that had gone on in high places.
It gives me no pleasure to see what I said come to pass.
If I am totally honest I cannot see anyone in the world political arena who could be called a 'leader'......they all seem to have half assed ideas.......and as for the Merkel Sarkozy partnership...well, those two just want to be the top dogs(I was going to say leaders - but each have their own agendas, rather than the common good) in the Euro superstate...laying down the law to all and sundry.
If any of them had had a single idea of how to sort out the financial crisis they would have done it by now
