What happened to the credit crunch?
Filed Under Politics | 4 Comments
I once harboured hopes that the biggest financial crisis in my lifetime would bring about changes in society. Gordon Brown’s speech yesterday only served to underline the lack of change.
Real leadership means lots of things but includes taking every opportunity to lead – making the most of a crisis. The credit crunch was the best opportunity in a generation for politics to become relevant, to change the direction of our country and stake out a new course for Britain. The opportunity has been missed.
