Britain's Housing Woes Lead to a Recession

It was only 2 years ago the then chancellor, now prime minister announced he'd found the economic holy grail, the solution for ending the boom/ bust cycle for good.

His arrogance and a lack of real political opposition meant that all the money the government had during the boom was spent on white elephant projects (Olympics!) and now, when we need help the government who got us into this mess has neither any solutions nor resources.

Thanks for nothing Mr Brown.
